Five key points for the Champions League draw

After the most recent teams' qualifications, those being Barcelona and Liverpool, UEFA will carry out the draw for the remaining Champions League rounds. These two teams join those already-qualified, including Ajax, Juventus, Manchester City, Tottenham, Porto and Manchester United.

Although the draw will follow the usual format in Nyon, Switzerland, there are five important details and novelties that must be looked at for this year's edition. 

Julio Cesar, ex-goalkeeper for Inter Milan, Benfica and Flamengo, will carry out the draw.

Despite the fact the draw does not have any restrictions on location, as there were in the round of 16 draw, it has been decided that Manchester United and Manchester City cannot play their home matches on the same day due to security concerns.

Due to irregularities like this, UEFA will announce the exact dates for the quarter-finals 45 minutes after the draw has taken place, while the dates for the semi-finals will be made known on April 18.

Girorgio Marchetti, vice-secretary general of UEFA, will direct the draw and Michael Heselschwerdt, chief of competitions, will offer all technical details to the audience. 

Diego Forlan, ex-forward for Atletico Madrid, is the official ambassador for the competition's final, which will take place in Atletico's Wanda Metropolitano on June 1.
