I ask the spirit of the remontada that Barcelona are drawn against Real Madrid

The comeback against PSG didn't just serve to give a morale boost to the team and help this generation achieve another epic feat, but also to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League and put Barcelona's name in the hat on Friday in Nyon.

It's the Champions League draw and thanks to the boot of Sergi Roberto, Barcelona's ball will be put into the bowl. Eight teams are waiting and it's a pure draw, with no conditioning, no seeding, no relation to previous games. 

Ian Rush, as the representant chosen by Cardiff, will be in charge and it is by his hand that Barcelona and Real Madrid could be pulled together. 

It would he a fantastic consequence of the remontada. A gift in the form of two Clasicos in April, which already has one in La Liga. A month of April submerged in football, football and more football, three Clasicos in which two competitions are in play.

I ask the spirit of the remontada that Barcelona are drawn against Real Madrid and we have an April to remember. 

It's a risk, but it was more difficult to come back from 4-0 down against PSG. And they did it. This team can do anything.
