Nyon (Switzerland): Holders Real Madrid will face their former coach Carlo Ancelotti’s Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals as Juventus were drawn against Barcelona yesterday.
English champions Leicester play against Atletico Madrid as France’s Monaco clash with Borussia Dortmund over two legs in April.
Ancelotti, who led 11-time winners Real to their tenth Champions League title in 2014, was looking forward to a special tie. “It is going to be exciting to play against them. We are very confident and want to win the Champions League this season,” said Ancelotti, who also won the European title twice with AC Milan. “I think we have the ability to beat Real Madrid,” he added.
Meanwhile, Real manager Zinedine Zidane said, “It will be master against pupil for sure. I was his assistant, I learned a lot from him at Madrid, he is a great person and we all know what we did here. The tie is 50-50 as always, especially with these two teams.”
