The draw for the Champions League quarter-final has been made, with Arsenal battling Bayern Munich and defending champions Manchester City pulled against Real Madrid.

Arsenal had to fight their way past Porto to get here and must now see off a Bayern side looking to make a statement after a chaotic campaign which has seen their reputation take a major blow.

Elsewhere, Man City vs Real Madrid promises to be an enthralling tie. These two met in last season’s semi-final which, after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, was settled with an emphatic 4-0 win for Pep Guardiola’s side at the Etihad Stadium.

Paris Saint-Germain must relive La Remontada as their never-ending feud with Barcelona is set for another chapter. They last met in 2020/21, when PSG’s famous 4-1 win at Camp Nou set the tone for a routine victory for the French side.

Atletico Madrid meet Borussia Dortmund in the final tie of the round. This is the first time these sides have met in the knockout stages of this tournament, although they did share wins across two games in the 2018/19 group stage.

The first leg of the quarter-final ties will be held on April 9/10, with the return fixtures booked for the following week on April 16/17.

The semi-finals will begin later than month on April 30 and May 1, and the second legs will be held on May 7/8.

The two sides that emerge victorious will contest the final at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 1.
