Fans convinced the Champions League draw was 'rigged' for Italian teams

Football fans think there's a conspiracy theory about the Champions League quarter final and semi final draws, with the Italian teams handed the dream scenarios.

Hamit Altintop and Patrick Kluivert were handed duties to pick the balls out of a bowl to decide which of the remaining eight sides played each other in Europe's top club competition.

Altintop was chosen due to the fact the final will be held in his home country of Turkey, whilst Kluivert was presumably given the role to balance out the bad news for Patricks around the world on their Saints day, after Vieira's sacking earlier in the day.

The pair pulled out AC Milan to face fellow Italians Napoli, whilst Inter Milan came out against Benfica, who many considered the easiest draw.

After that, the two games were drawn to be the semis, meaning the Italian sides have a great chance of making up one half of the final, leading to conspiracies.
