PSG and Monaco barely wait until they know their opponent Friday noon in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. At this stage of the test, there is no good prints. But some seem still more affordable than others.

The monster draw: Real, Barca, Bayern

         On paper, just the top three teams. And the first three clubs in the UEFA rankings, in that order, too. This does not tell the whole of their formidable track record and their remarkable regularity since the existence of the European Cups, but enough of their excellent results in recent seasons League champions. Real, Barca and Bayern are quite clear references among the teams already qualified at this stage of the race. They are the only ones among the last eight contenders, having lifted the trophy for ten years.

The draw cursed forever: Juventus

The trap draw but more affordable than it looks: Atlético Madrid

         Atlético Madrid has not only references, having been Spanish champion and finalist in the Champions League last year. It is also feared by his defensive quality and fighting spirit, embodied by his coach Diego Simeone. And for his talent, the French Antoine Griezmann is the best representative this season. Colchoneros but are not in their best shape. Their laborious qualification against Leverkusen (0-1, 1-0, 3-2 on pens) and difficulties in La Liga, they only occupy fourth place, evidenced.

The trap draw but more dangerous than it looks: FC Porto

         FC Porto is certainly the most overlooked team among those still competing in the Champions League. While the club has a culture of European competitions, a collective quality and high technical level. And he does often not the French. Monaco known for having lived the disappointment of losing heavily, a final of the Champions League against the Portuguese in 2004 (3-0). And as a reminder, Porto has deprived France one more representative C1 this season after removing dams Lille (1-0, 2-0).

The draw “slinging , half grape “PSG-Monaco

         Great or regrettable, it is a question of sensitivity … A PSG Monaco in the quarterfinals of course guarantee the presence of a tri club in the last four of the Champions League, as it would deprive France of the possibility of two clubs in the semifinals. We have already seen two Franco-French confrontation in the European Cup, one of which concerned that Monaco, released by OM in 8th finals of the UEFA Cup 1998-99 (2-2, 1-0). The other saw the qualification of Lyon at the expense of Bordeaux in the quarter finals of the 2009-10 Champions League (3-1, 0-1).
