Chelsea Advances to Champions League Quarter-Finals, Potential Opponents Revealed

The Champions League quarter-final opponents for Chelsea will be revealed on Friday, and this comes after their victory over Haaland and the defeat of Porto. Graham Potter will be eager to discover who his team will face in the upcoming round.

Chelsea have made it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the third year in a row, after coming from behind in the first leg to eliminate Borussia Dortmund.

The focus for Chelsea now shifts towards the quarter-finals, where some of Europe’s top clubs will face off against each other. Last season, Chelsea were eliminated at this stage by eventual champions Real Madrid, losing 5-4 in extra-time. However, the prospect of a repeat of their successful campaign in 2020/21, when they defeated Manchester City to win the competition, is generating excitement in west London.

Chelsea were among the first teams to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, as they were in the first set of round-of-16 fixtures. Along with Benfica, who won 7-1 over Club Brugge, they secured their place in the next round.

The following day, Bayern Munich and AC Milan maintained their leads over PSG and Tottenham Hotspur respectively. On Tuesday, Manchester City had a dominant victory over RB Leipzig at home, with Erling Haaland setting several records with his five goals. Meanwhile, Inter Milan shut out FC Porto to advance to the quarter-finals.

The final two quarter-final spots are yet to be determined, as Liverpool face off against Real Madrid and Napoli take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday. After these matches, the draw for the quarter-finals will take place on Friday, March 17. Below are the potential opponents for Chelsea, with the score from the first-leg shown in brackets:

At this point in the tournament, there are no longer any seeds, while teams from the same country can now face each other. Similarly, sides who competed in the same group can now face off, something they were prohibited from doing in the round-of-16.
