Despite entering Tuesday's second leg against Paris Saint-Germain down by the score of 3-1, Chelsea managed to find a 2-0 win and advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League.
The Champions League quarterfinals draw will take place on Friday. The remaining teams are arguably all contenders so it should be interesting to see which sides will face stiff competition along the way. Here are the four matchups that we want to see in the Champions League quarterfinals.
And then there were eight. The final eight teams in the Champions League have been revealed and it has become increasingly clear that this tournament will be one of the most hotly contested in years. Which team is the favorite to win the tournament?
Bayern Munich will head to the quarterfinals of the Champions league after taking down Arsenal 3-1 over the course of three legs. Many have anointed this team the favorite to repeat as Champions and it is hard to ignore that possibility. Under Pep Guardiola, the team has found efficiency in its passing and use of speed that has somehow eclipsed even the loftiest form under Jupp Heynckes. But is the success sustainable this year? Or is there another team that can take down the mighty Bavarians.
Didier Drogba will renew his relationship with Chelsea when the English side visits his current team Galatasaray in the Champions League.
That will be the central storyline between these two sides. Will Drogba beat his former manager Jose Mourinho? Or will Chelsea continue its terrific play of late?
The relationship between soccer and the media has not been on good terms this week. On Tuesday, three stories broke regarding major soccer personalities clashing with different media sources. Here is a survey of what happened.

Chelsea has officially signed Mohamed Salah from FC Basel. The deal was announced on Sunday. Salah will reportedly play with Chelsea for the next five years.
