Real Madrid, after a thrilling victory at Old Trafford to reach the quarterfinals, will take on Galatasaray. There's no doubt the defending Spanish league champions will enter as the favorites, but they can't afford to look past the in-form Super Lig club.The last two matchups are the big draws. First, big-spending Paris Saint-Germain will face off with perennial contender Barcelona. If Barca play like they did in the second leg against AC Milan, they are basically unstoppable.Finally, Bayern Munich continue their quest toward another appearance in the final against Juventus. Although it should be a very competitive pair of matches, it's hard not to like Bayern's form heading into the quarters.
