Champions League: the qualifiers and what the draw for the quarterfinals will be like

The draw for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the UEFA champions league 2023/24 will take place on Friday, March 15, 2024.

The draw includes the eight teams that advance to the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid highlight LaLiga EA Sports football. The Premier, with Manchester City and Arsenal, and the Bundesliga, with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, have two members each.

Italian football, with the elimination of Inter, runners-up last year, against Diego Pablo Simeone's team, is left without teams. The French Paris Saint-Germain completes the list of eight clubs that will be distributed in Friday's draw at the House of European Football, in Nyon, Switzerland, in the quarterfinals.

Raffle system

There is no seeding or country protection, so clubs can face rivals from the same national federation and teams they have previously faced in the group stage.

Eight balls with the names of the quarterfinalists are placed in a large central drum, where they are mixed. The first team drawn plays the first home game against the second team drawn. The procedure will be repeated with the other balls in the pot to complete the quarterfinal pairings.

For the semi-final draw, four balls with papers marked 'Quarterfinal Winner 1' to 'Quarterfinal Winner 4' will be placed in a large container and mixed. The first and second balls drawn determine the first pairing of semi-finals, and the first ball drawn represents the home team for the first leg. The procedure is repeated with the remaining balls from the container to complete the semi-final pairings.
