All five former Champions League winners were put into the same half of the draw on today, setting up a possible semifinal pairing between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The single-leg quarterfinal matches will be played on four straight evenings from August 12-15 to start a mini-tournament without fans in Portugal. The other half of the draw was much more straightforward with all four quarterfinalists set before the coronavirus pandemic shut down European soccer. PSG has not played since March 11 but retained its French title when the league declared an early end. Also, Real Madrid and Barcelona are in a tight race for the Spanish league title, Juventus will likely seal another Serie A title and Man City also has advanced to the FA Cup semifinals.
