From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The draw for the quarter-finals, semi-final and final of the 2021/22 Champions League will all be made in a single event.
The eight remaining teams will find out their fate for the rest of Europe’s top continental club competition in Nyon, Switzerland.
It is at this stage that the draw opens up, with no seeding or country protection – that means that any of the eight teams can be drawn against one another.
The final of the competition will be held at the Stade de France in the suburbs of Paris after the Russian city of St Petersburg was stripped of hosting rights, but the “home” team for the game will be determined “for procedural reasons”.
