Chelsea attracts the best and worst players in the Champions League, as Graham Potter is still preoccupied
It will be shortly before noon on Friday that Graham Potter and his Chelsea players will discover who they will play in the Champions League quarterfinals. There won't be an easy opponent, there won't be any soft touch. However, this does not mean that there is not a more favorable lottery
Chelsea finished in the last eight by overcoming Borussia Dortmund. It was not an easy tie. The Blues were defeated 1-0 in Germany, but produced the exceptional performance of the Potter era back at Stamford Bridge to secure a 2-1 overall victory and lead
Many great and good European football players will join them in the quarterfinals. Real Madrid is an opponent. Bayern Munich is one of them. A familiar foe would be Manchester City. While no club will be eager to take on Series A leader Napoli has given their impressive performances this quarter
Potter doesn't reveal his true feelings about the painting when he addresses the press on Friday afternoon. No matter who the Blues face in the Round of 8, he remains professional and respectful. Chelsea fans don't have to be so crafty. They can give straight advice. Chelsea fans don't need to be that tactful – they can give their honest advice.
In this article, we have carefully selected the draws that we believe Chelsea are most likely to secure a place in the Champions League semi-finals. But we also chose clubs to avoid - and we're sure no blues fan would disagree with our choice.
The Italian giants are the kings of European football: Milan have won the Champions League 7 times, an achievement that only Real Madrid can do better. However, despite winning Serie A last season with impressive performance, coach Stefano Pioli's army has been unstable this season.
As a result, Milan are currently fourth in Serie A, 20 points behind leaders Napoli. Rosoneri also finished runners-up in the group stage of the Champions League. Which team brought you to the top? Chelsea
AC Milan struggled against their English opponents in the round of 16 - a spectacular Tottenham were beaten 1-0 in two games - but Chelsea continued to improve on their dominance in the group stage and AC Milan's uneven performance since the turn of the year. Given the results, I'm confident in avoiding another goal.
City issued a warning to the rest of Europe on Tuesday night after beating Bundesliga club RB Leipzig 7-0 in the second leg of the round of 16. Erling Haaland finished the night with his five goals to tie the Champions League record for most goals in his league match
Guardiola also has a strong record against Potter, but this fact comes as little surprise, as England managers have often tried to beat City in Brighton. He has only won and lost nine times, three of them as Chelsea head coach.
Add to this the Blues' regular and disappointing humiliation at the Etihad Stadium and it's understandable to be concerned if they draw with their Premier League rivals on Friday. City are definitely a team to avoid.
