Does anyone know what time the draw takes place? :confused:

Does anyone know what time the draw takes place? :confused:

It's normally around one o'clock (gives UEFA the chance to fill themselves up with their fifteenth banquet of the day first ;) )

[Gooch]

Maybe I'm being a bit dumb or something. But I've looked on the official UEFA site, BBC Sports and Sky Sports and can't find a time for the draw.

Ah, Sporting Life will have the draw at 12:00 (I was only an hour out :) )

Ah, but the draw takes place in Paris, which is one hour ahead. So you were spot on... :)

It starts at 11am GMT. But there is probably so much rubbish before it that it will be closer to 12 before the draw is made.

Just as a by-the-by, UEFA have confirmed that, if Arsenal win the Champions League, they will automatically be entered into the group stages of next seasons competition, in place of whatever team finishes fourth in the Premiership.

What price Arsenal doing it, and knocking Spurs into the UEFA Cup :D

Right - Quarter final draw is:

Arsenal v Juventus (won't it be funny if they knock Vieira out :D )

Lyon v AC Milan

Inter or Ajax v Villareal

Benfica v Barca

There you go (Inter & Ajax are due to play their second leg on the 16th March).

And the semi finals will be:

Arsenal or Juventus v Internazionale / Ajax or Villarreal

Lyon or AC Milan v Benfica or Barcelona

Arsenal should have an easyish run through to the final...but you never know
