Fire Power!!


Wembley Stadium will see the eight remaining UEFAChampions League survivors next week in the quarter-final. It is an all-English encounter prominent on the menu. The Wednesday's meeting between Chelsea and Manchester United will bring old rivals back together at Stanf bridge.On wednesday the Real Madrid CF lie in wait which is desperate that Ronaldo recovers from a hamstring injury in time to face the side whose fearless approach took them past AC Milan in the last match. Tuesday also marks the resumption of Internazionale Milano's title defence as they vie to become the first team to reach the European summit in back-to-back campaigns since neighbours Milan in 1989/90. Those two storied clubs meet in a high-stakes Serie A tussle on Saturday, and quarter-final opponents Schalke 04 will look to pounce on any tired Inter legs in the German team's first outing in the competition under new coach Ralf Rangnick. The Bundesliga outfit will nonetheless be wary of hosts desperate to avenge their 1997 UEFA Cup final defeat.Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk played each other rather more recently, with Barça lifting the UEFA Super Cup at the Ukrainian champions' expense in 2009. However, Josep Guardiola's men ill not be taking this season's surprise package for granted. They will want to produce another mesmerising display at the Camp Nou on Wednesday, ahead of what is sure to be a tricky return leg at Shakhtar's Donbass Arena the following week.
