The Centre Circle

Lyon vs Bordeaux

Bayern Munich vs Manchester United

Arsenal vs Barcelona

Inter Milan vs CSKA Moscow

The first leg on March 30/31, the second legs on April 6/7

The highlight of the round is Arsenal against Barcelona, a repeat of the 2006 final. Arsenal will be looking for revenge and although on paper it looks that Barcelona should go through, the Gunners record against non British teams in the knockout stages of the Champions League has been impressive. There is another repeat of a former final as Bayern Munich take on Manchester United. They famously met in 1999 when Man Utd came back from 1-0 to snatch a late dramatic victory. France is guaranteed a semi-finalist with Laurant Blanc’s Bordeaux facing Lyon, while Jose Mourinho and Inter Milan who impressively disposed of Chelsea face CSKA Moscow.
