The Champion’s League Quarter-finals Pot is almost set. The following teams have advanced:

• Manchester United
• Chelsea
• Arsenal
• FC Barcelona
• Roma
• Schalke
• Fenerbahce

The 8th and final team of the pot will be decided on March 12th, 2008 when Inter Milan host Liverpool at the San Siro.
Liverpool go to Milan with a 2-0 advantage. It will be extremely difficult for Inter to overcome such as deficit. If Liverpool score 1 goal, Inter will need to score 4 goals in regulation time to over the aggregate scoreline. There is a good chance Liverpool will progress, establishing 4 English teams in the final 8.

The eight winners of the ties played in the first knock-out round of the UEFA Champions League will contest the quarter–finals, with the pairings determined by an open draw. This means that clubs from the same national association may be drawn against each other. The quarter-finals are played on a home-and–away basis, with the first legs played on Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 2 April 2008 and the return legs on Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 April 2008. The four winning teams will, at that stage, know who they will meet in the semi-finals, as the pairings will also be decided during the draw ceremony on 14 March. The first legs of the semi-finals will be played just two weeks later, on Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 April 2008, with the second legs to be staged on Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 April 2008.
