00:00The line-up is set for the Champions League quarter-finals
00:02and we've got some really exciting-sounding ties to look forward to.
00:06We've got Liverpool against PSG, we've got Real Madrid against Bayern Munich.
00:11But the tie between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid has caused a little bit of debate
00:15with some Barcelona fans wondering why their team is playing the second leg away from home
00:21even though they performed much better in the initial league phase.
00:25So Barcelona finished 5th, Atletico Madrid were 14th.
00:29So in the playoffs and the round of 16, the team that finished higher in the league phase
00:33was rewarded with a home game in the second leg, which most people think is an advantage.
00:40Now in theory that could continue all the way through the bracket for the rest of the competition
00:44but only if the teams that finished in the top 4 keep winning.
00:49The problem comes when one of the top 4 loses.
00:51Now that's what happened this week with Tottenham Hotspur
00:54who somehow managed to finish 4th in the league phase.
00:57Spurs were beaten by Atletico Madrid in the last 16
01:00and Atletico basically become the new 4th place team.
01:05They steal Spurs' 4th place.
01:07So that means they get a home 2nd leg against Barcelona
01:10who finished 5th in the league phase.
01:13Sorry Barca fans.
01:14I'm going to say Barca fans.
01:15I'm going to say Barca fans.
01:16I'm going to say Barca fans.
01:16I'm going to say Barca fans.
01:17I'm going to say Barca fans.
