Champions League Quarter-Final Participants Journey

The 2020/2021 Champions League quarter-final draw or draw will be held in Switzerland, Friday (19/3) at 18.00 WIB. A total of eight clubs have confirmed to qualify for the quarterfinals.

European elite clubs, including the defending champions and runners-up last season will compete for the Champions League podium this season.

Of the eight clubs that qualify, six of them already have the Big Ear trophy collection. Only Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have never won.

The following is the track record of the eight contestants' journey to the Champions League quarter-finals:

1.Liverpool

Liverpool's appearance in the Premier League is not satisfactory. However, the Reds' performance in the Champions League is quite encouraging.

Jurgen Klopp's team showed solid form as they beat RB Leipzig 2-0 in each leg of the last 16 and clinched their ticket to the quarter-finals. Liverpool won 2-0 over RB Leipzig in the first leg and 2-0 in the second leg.

Liverpool qualified for the last 16 as Group D winners by collecting 13 points. In the group phase, Liverpool won four, drew one and lost one. The Reds have scored 10 goals conceded three times.

Liverpool are now chasing their seventh Champions League title this season. So far, Liverpool have collected six Champions League trophies in 1977, 1978, 1981, 1984, 2005 and 2019.

2.Manchester City

Manchester City have progressed to the last eight for the fourth consecutive year after beating Borussia Monchengladbach 2-0 in each of the last 16 legs (4-0 on aggregate).

Previously, The Citizens qualified as winners of Group C without losing. Manchester City have won five matches and one draw.

Now, Manchester City are also sitting at the top of the Premier League standings. Manchester City are 14 points ahead of second-placed Premier League team Manchester United. However, Manchester City will not rule out the chance to win the Champions League for the first time in the club's history.

3.Chelsea

It must be admitted that Thomas Tuchel's entry as Chelsea manager has brought big changes to the appearance of the Blues. The German coach managed to make Chelsea unbeaten in 14 matches in all competitions.

Chelsea qualified for the quarterfinals after beating Atletico Madrid 3-0. Chelsea won 1-0 in the first leg and won 2-0 in the second leg of the Champions League last 16.

In the group phase, Chelsea qualified as winners of Group E. Of the six matches, Chelsea successfully packed four wins and two draws, without defeat. Chelsea last won the Champions League in 2012.

4. Real Madrid

Real Madrid made their way past Atalanta to secure their place in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in three seasons. Los Blancos may not be as strong as they used to be, but Zinedine Zidane's current squad have achieved the form they deserve to make it to the last eight of the Champions League.

Real Madrid qualified as winners of Group B. Zinedine Zidane's troops won three wins, one draw and two defeats.

The team, which has collected 13 Champions League titles, has not tasted defeat since early February. Los Blancos are believed to remain the one to avoid in the draw for the quarter-finals.

5. Bayern Munchen

Last season's Champions League title holders, Bayern Munich secured a place in the quarter-finals after defeating Lazio 6-2 on aggregate. In the first leg, Bayern Munich won 4-1 and in the second leg winning 2-1.

However, Bayern Munich will probably be the team that should be avoided the most in the draw. Bayern Munich currently leads the Bundesliga with 18 wins, four draws and three defeats.

Bayern Munich also won Group A status by winning five wins, one draw, and never losing in six matches. Bayern Munich have won six editions of the Champions League so far.

6.Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund managed to put their position in the ranks of Europe's elite clubs by qualifying for the last eight. Dortmund qualified for the quarter-finals after beating Sevilla 5-4 on aggregate. Dortmund won 3-2 in the first leg and played 2-2 in the second leg against the Spanish representatives.

Dortmund striker Erling Haaland is currently the Champions League top scorer with 10 goals. Dormund is also the winner of Group F by collecting four wins, one draw and one defeat. Dortmund last won the Champions League in 1997.

7.Paris Saint Germain

Paris Saint Germain successfully advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals after eliminating Barcelona in the last 16. Thanks to Kylian Mbappe's hat trick, PSG successfully beat Barcelona 4-1 in the first leg of the last 16 at Camp Nou.

Meanwhile, PSG had to be held 1-1 by Barcelona in the second leg.

PSG went through the group phase as Group H. Les Parisiens leaders managed to record four wins and two defeats from the six matches played. PSG remains a threat to any team in the draw for the last eight of the Champions League. PSG's best achievement in the Champions League is to be runner-up for the 2020 season.

8. Porto

Porto managed to penetrate the last eight of the Champions League after defeating Juventus. Porto won on away goals after the match ended 4-4 on aggregate. Porto won 2-1 at home and lost 2-3 while playing at Juventus headquarters.

Porto is a dark horse in the last eight. This team qualified for the last 16 as runners-up in Group C.
