Chelsea Up Against French Wealthy Team, PSG
- Updated: March 22, 2014
United must get past last season’s winners over two legs next month to keep alive their chances of winning a trophy in David Moyes’ first season.
Chelsea will face Paris St Germain for a place in the last four, while Real Madrid play Borussia Dortmund in a repeat of last season’s semi-final and Barcelona have been drawn with La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid.
United and Bayern have plenty of recent history in the competition: the Germans provided the opposition when United completed the treble in 1999, while Bayern were victorious at the quarter-final stage in 2001 and 2010.
The current champions have already beaten Arsenal in this season’s knockout stage and finished top of a group featuring Manchester City.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are up against opponents who have joined European football’s wealthy elite since the only previous meetings between the clubs in the 2004/5 season.
That was Jose Mourinho’s first year in England, and his side won 3-0 in Paris before drawing 0-0 at home in the group stage.
Elsewhere Real Madrid have the added motivation of avenging April’s 4-1 hammering in Dortmund which cost them a place in the Wembley final, while Barca and Atletico meet after three drawn games already this season.
