I Champions League draws they weren't kind to the Italian teams, even if the quarter-finals of the Big Eared Cup are still shrouded in uncertainty. To access the round object of today's draw, the Juventus will have to delete the Lyon, that in the first leg (in France) they won 1-0. If the Lady manages to bring home her comeback, she will have to contend with one of the favorites for the final victory of the tournament: Real Madrid or Manchester City.
A similar argument can be made for the Napoli, who however to access the quarter-finals of the Champions League will have to perform a real sporting feat: eliminate the Barcelona of his majesty Lionel Messi at the Camp Nou, after the 1-1 of the first leg at the San Paolo, which is now more than five months old. If successful, in the next round Gattuso's men will face another big shot of European football: Bayern Monaco o Chelsea (the first leg ended with a 3-0 victory for the Germans).
As for theAtalanta, at the moment it is the only Italian team to have certainties. Having concluded the round of 19 victoriously before the interruption of the tournament caused by the Covid-XNUMX pandemic (in Bergamo they still have the magical night of San Siro against Valencia in their eyes), the Goddess has known for months that they are in the quarterfinals, but for today he also knows the name of his next opponent with certainty: the Paris Saint Germain. A difficult obstacle to overcome, but not impossible for Gasperini's terrible boys, who certainly could have come up with worse.
But it's not over. From the urn of the Champions League draws were also drawn the semifinals: one between Juve, Lyon, Real Madrid and City will find the survivor between Naples, Barcelona, Bayern and Chelsea. Atalanta, on the other hand, in the event of success against PSG, will meet the winner between Leipzig and Atletico Madrid.
As for the calendar, the coronavirus emergency has imposed a revolution on the 2020 Champions League, which will in fact end with a summer mini-tournament in Lisbon. The quarterfinals will be played from August 12th to 15th, while the semifinals will take place on the 18th and 19th. Four days later, on the 23rd, it will be the finals. All matches will be resolved in a single match, with overtime and penalties in case of a draw.
Dry races are also scheduled in Europa League, where theInter, should they overcome Getafe in the round of 1 (they will be played on neutral ground in Germany), they will challenge the winner of Rangers-Bayer (3-XNUMX in the first leg), while the Roma, if they win against Sevilla, they will face Wolverhampton or Olympiacos (1-1 in the first leg).
