The QF draw will be fascinating AND might have an effect on the PL too. Imagine if Liverpool or City draw Barcelona, that's bound to affect them in the PL fixtures around that time

Also if the English clubs are drawn against each other and play each other around the same time in the league it could have an effect
Only the 3rd time that 4 teams from the same country have made the quarter finals.
2007/08 2008/09 2018/19
Premier League all 3 times.
We knocked out the three German clubs left in the last 16 and that can't have happened before can it?
If Inter beat Eintracht Frankfurt tonight then they won't have a side in either European quarter finals which has to be another first. In 2007/08 we didn't have any sides in the QF of the UEFA Cup and in 2008/09 we had just Man City but if Arsenal can turn around a 3-1 deficit tonight it will be a first for us to have six in total in the QFs of both European competitions - the six who happen also to be the top six in the PL.

Teams in the quarter finals.
Absolutely this
He misses the first leg of the 1/4 finals.
If he'd got through an extra two minutes his yellow cards would have been wiped.
Only other time was in 2007-08 - All three times its been English clubs
No other country has ever achieved it

2008 Final of course saw Man Utd v Chelsea
2009 Final saw Barcelona beating Man Utd so despite getting four teams in the Quarters twice beforehand; an English side have only won it the once
22% that the four clubs are in 4 different ties.

I'm fully expecting to see 2 all-English ties.
