El Tel’s guide to quarter-finals

BEST IN THE BUSINESS ... Lionel Messi

Apoel v Real Madrid

Tel's verdict

REGARDLESS of who wins, the Cypriot minnows are the Champions League Team of the Year after reaching this stage for the first time in their history.

An Apoel win would be the biggest upset in European football but I think it will be one fairytale too far.

REAL MADRID TO WIN

Star men

APOEL: DIONISIOS CHIOTIS was the hero with two spot-kick saves against Lyon in the last round.

REAL: CRISTIANO RONALDO is in stunning form. Jose Mourinho has got the best out of him.

Managers

APOEL: IVAN JOVANOVIC really deserves the praise he is getting. He should enjoy his Bernabeu trip.

REAL: JOSE MOURINHO could win the Champions League with a third club — after Porto and Inter Milan.
