Clasico danger! There could be three Barcelona vs Real Madrid games in April
The UCL draw is not seeded or affected by the countries of teams
Barcelona have faced Madrid three times in a short space of time before
The Champions League quarter-final draw could throw up an interesting surprise. It will take place on Friday in Nyon and there are no restrictions - any team can draw any team.
For example, Barcelona could be drawn to face Real Madrid. A Clasico in the quarter-finals which would have the La Liga game following it, set to take place on April 23 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
This is how the month would look if it happened:
Liga Santander 2016 / 2017 (Week 31, April 8)
Málaga - FC Barcelona
Real Madrid - Atlético Madrid
Champions League 2016 / 2017 1/4 First leg (11 - 12 April)
Clásico
Liga Santander 2016 / 2017 (Week 32, 15 April)
FC Barcelona - Real Sociedad
Sporting Gijón - Real Madrid
Champions League 2016 / 2017 1/4 Second leg (18 / 19 April)
Clásico
Liga Santander 2016 / 2017 (Week 33, 23 April)
Real Madrid - FC Barcelona
That would not be a new situation. In 2010-11 the same thing happened at Wembley. Then Barcelona won 2-0 at the Bernabeu (April 27) and drew the second leg 1-1 (May 3) to progress, drawing 1-1 at the Bernabeu on April 16 in La Liga.
