  • THAT’S ALL FOR NOW

    We have our eight quarter-finalists and each team will be mapping out the road to Gdansk.

    But only one can come away victorious.

    Man Utd are favourites to win the competition after seeing off sleeping giants AC Milan.

    Arsenal are being tipped for a strong finish and if all goes well, we could see an all-English final.

    There are some underdogs in the mix, in particular Spanish side Granada and Czech side Slavia Praha.

    Both could cause major upsets against the two Premier League sides.

    So, just before I go, here’s a reminder of all the up-coming quarter-final fixtures:

    • Granada vs Man Utd
    • Arsenal vs Slavia Praha
    • Ajax vs Roma
    • Dinamo Zagreb vs Villarreal 

    The first legs are due to take place on April 8, and the reverse fixtures on April 15.

    And the semi-finals draw was also made so here’s who could be facing who one step before Gdansk:

    • Granada/Man Utd vs Ajax/Roma
    • Dinamo Zagreb/Villarreal vs Arsenal/Slavia Praha

    With the first legs taking place at the end of April (29) and the second-leg on May 6.

    One suspects there could be a few shocks left in the competition so make sure to keep an eye out!
