PARIS, Mar 7 (AFP): The unlikely setting of North London could by Thursday morning have two Champions League quarter-finalists while the once dominant force in the competition Italy could have lost two of its three representatives after the first batch of Last 16 second leg matches this week. Arsenal and Spurs go into Tuesday and Wednesday's clashes with Barcelona and AC Milan holding a 2-1 and 1-0 advantage respectively and a real chance of two sides who have no European Cup/Champions League trophies to their name of eliminating two teams with 10. Milan's fellow Serie A side AS Roma also face a tough task on Tuesday in qualifying as they visit Ukrainian league leaders Shakhtar Donetsk trailing 3-2 and bidding to become the first away side to win a European match in the forbidding environs of the mining region since Sporting Lisbon in October 2008. Should both Italian sides go out it would leave only holders Inter Milan in the competition and they go to Bayern Munich next week needing to overcome a 1-0 deficit.
