Favorite FC Barcelona was drawn against Benfica on Friday in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, while Italian champion Juventus meets Arsenal.
Six-time winner AC Milan faces French league leader Lyon, and the other quarterfinal pitted Spain's Villarreal against Inter Milan or Ajax Amsterdam, who play the second leg of their round-of-16 match on Tuesday.
"[Benfica] is a strong team, well equipped and one that is here on its own merits," Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes was quoted as saying by newswire Efe. "So we must not think it will be easy to advance."
The draw means Barcelona will be up against the man who scored the winner in its only final win in 1992 -- Benfica coach Ronald Koeman.
Benfica, which won the last of its two European Cups in 1962, ousted defending champion Liverpool on Wednesday, while Barcelona knocked out English champion and Premier League leader Chelsea.
Juventus' France midfielder Patrick Vieira will face his former Arsenal teammates for the first time since moving to the Italian champion in the offseason.
"It will be nice to see Patrick Vieira back at Highbury," Arsenal vice chairman David Dein said.
Dein said Thierry Henry will have a point to prove after leaving Juventus to join Arsenal -- where coach Arsene Wenger transformed him from unhappy winger to prolific striker.
Arsenal knocked out record nine-time winner Real Madrid on Wednesday, while Juventus edged Werder Bremen on away goals on Tuesday following a goalkeeping blunder.
Villarreal and four-time champion Ajax are tied 2-2 from their first leg in Amsterdam, and the return was rescheduled for Tuesday because Inter's San Siro stadium was staging AC Milan's victory 4-1 over Bayern Munich.
The quarterfinal first legs are scheduled for March 28-29, with the returns April 4-5.
UEFA also made the semifinal draw, setting up the possibility of Juventus facing Inter in an all Italian matchup. Milan and Barcelona may face each other for a place in the May 17 final at the Stade de France.
The semifinal pairings were: Arsenal or Juventus versus Inter Milan, Ajax or Villarreal; Lyon or AC Milan versus Benfica or Barcelona. The first legs of the semifinals are April 18-19 and return games are April 25-26.
Four-time NBA all-star DeMarcus Cousins arrived in Taiwan with his family early yesterday to finish his renewed contract with the Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. Cousins initially played a four-game contract with the Leopards in January. On March 18, the Taoyuan-based team announced that Cousins had renewed his contract. “Hi what’s up Leopard fans, I’m back.

Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
Rafael Nadal on Wednesday said the upcoming French Open would be the moment to “give everything and die” on the court after his comeback from injury in Barcelona was curtailed by Alex de Minaur. The 22-time Grand Slam title winner, back playing this week after three months on the sidelines, battled well, but eventually crumbled 7-5, 6-1 against the world No. 11 from Australia in the second round. Nadal, 37, who missed virtually all of last season, is hoping to compete at the French Open next month where he is the record 14-time champion. The Spaniard said the clash with De Minaur was
