The Reds demolished Bayern Munich 3-1 at the Allianz Arena to qualify on a 3-1 goal aggregate, with Sadio Mane inspiring the side with a brace.

United, on their part staged a sensational comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 to progress, with Man City thumping Schalke 7-0 at Etihad to qualify on a 10-2 aggregate.

The four teams now face the prospect of battling each other in the last eight given that the restriction on teams from the same country drawing each other is now lifted.

Incidentally, City were bundled out of the tournament at the same stage by Liverpool who went all the way to the finals.

As such, the Pep Guardiola-side would be keen to avoid facing either of the EPL clubs in Liverpool and Manchester United.

United and City are due to meet in a league match before the end of the season and could yet face each other in the latter stages of the FA Cup.

The draws for the competition's last eight will take place on Friday, March 15, at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has admitted that Cristiano Ronaldo has the quality to hurt his side in the Champions League.

The Portuguese star scored all three goals that propelled his side to the quarterfinals of the competition despite suffering 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture last month.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
