If you\u2019re going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The quarterfinals get underway on Tuesday night at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, where Benfica host Liverpool, and the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City welcome Atletico Madrid. For the former match, the Reds will be looking to continue the form they showed in eliminating Internazionale in the previous round.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe difficulties we had were pretty close to what I expected,\u201d said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. \u201cInter are a really, really good side, set up for these kind of games. Without playing brilliantly we had clear-cut chances. Over the two legs it\u2019s completely fine that they won one and we went through. We could\u2019ve done better against an opponent that makes life uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/22191989129,1002554\/MGL\/mgl_ado_atunwa_300x250 --><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in Manchester, Atletico will be hoping for another successful trip to the city after defeating Man United 1-0 (2-1 on aggregate) in mid-March. \u201cIt\u2019s a great moment in what\u2019s been a tough season. We\u2019ve improved of late, though, and we\u2019ve won a really important game [against United] that will give us confidence going into the quarterfinals,\u201d said Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday sees Villarreal, who claimed the scalp of Juventus in the previous round, stepping up to an even tougher challenge when they welcome Bayern Munich to Estadio de la Ceramica. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to put into words what Villarreal being back in the Champions League quarterfinals means. It means so much to the fans and the club. We will enjoy this,\u201d said Yellow Submarine defender Raul Albiol.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the match of the midweek sees reigning European champions Chelsea host Real Madrid \u2013 the 13-time winners of the competition \u2013 at Stamford Bridge. Blues coach Thomas Tuchel is hoping his side can continue to be awkward opponents, even against a Los Blancos team brimming with quality and heritage in the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want us to be the team nobody wants to play,\u201d explained Tuchel. \u201cThat\u2019s the role we see ourselves in this last round of eight. It\u2019s a big step to do it again and again and that is why we fight for top-four places in maybe the toughest league in the world and we fight now again in the top eight teams. This brings out the very best in us and we want to be the team nobody wants to play against.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No rival can compete with SuperSport\u2019s coverage.
