Chelsea will play Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, while
Manchester City have been drawn against Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool, who beat Italian champions Inter Milan to progress from the last
16, will face Portuguese side Benfica.
The other quarter-final tie sees Spanish side Villarreal, last season's
Europa League winners, take on Bayern Munich after shocking Juventus in the
last 16.
Manchester City will face Chelsea in the semi-final if both sides are
successful in the quarters - which would be a repeat of last season's final
in Porto.
Chelsea overcame Real Madrid in last season's semi-final, beating the
13-time winners of this competition 3-1 on aggregate, and will be looking to
do the same this time out in the quarters.
"It's a tough one," said Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel. "The challenge couldn't
be much higher, playing the second leg in the Bernabeu with spectators. It's
a big challenge and a big excitement around this match and this fixture. We
know what's coming and it will be an exciting match and a tough challenge."
City take on Atletico, who proved to be too much for Manchester United in
the previous round, after easing past Portuguese champions Sporting Lisbon
with a 5-0 aggregate score over two legs.
Pep Guardiola has not faced Atletico since becoming City manager, but was
frustrated by Diego Simeone's side in the semi-final of this competition in
2016 when in charge of Bayern Munich, as the La Liga champions progressed to
the final on away goals despite the Germans dominating possession.
On the Atletico tie, Guardiola said: "They went through an incredibly tough
group stage and in the game against United, over 180 minutes, they were
better. In the game in Madrid they were fantastic first half.
"They are what they are. You play, you try to impose your game but it's
difficult (against them)."
Both of Liverpool and Manchester City's first-leg clashes will take place on
Tuesday April 5, with the return legs eight days later. That means the epic
Super Sunday title showdown between the two teams will remain on Sunday
April 10, kick-off 4.30pm live on Sky Sports.
The semi-finals will then be played on Tuesday April 26 and Wednesday April
27 with the second legs on May 3 and 4.
Real Madrid - Chelsea's opponents
The Champions League holders take on the kings of the competition in the
quarter-finals.
Real Madrid have been crowned continental champions on a record 13
occasions, currently sit atop of LaLiga and secured this tie by knocking out
star-studded Paris St Germain in stunning fashion.
Having lost 1-0 in France and gone down further to another Kylian Mbappe
goal in the second leg, Karim Benzema's hat-trick secured a remarkable
comeback and 3-2 aggregate triumph.
Atletico Madrid - Man City's opponents
The three-time competition runners-up return to Manchester for a fascinating
clash against Manchester City in the final eight.
Diego Simeone's men won La Liga last season but have long since been out of
the title race this time around, although they have picked up form of late
and managed to knock out Manchester United in the last 16.
Wily, well-drilled Atleti followed up a 1-1 first-leg draw in Spain by
securing a 1-0 win at Old Trafford on Tuesday as the hosts were stifled.
Benfica - Liverpool's opponents
Having surprisingly emerged from a group including Bayern Munich and
Barcelona, caretaker boss Nelson Verissimo masterminded a memorable last-16
win against Ajax.
The sides drew 2-2 in the first leg in Lisbon and Benfica dug deep in
Amsterdam to eke out a 1-0 triumph through Darwin Nunez's late header.
The Uruguay international is the star of a side enjoying a fine Champions
League run during a season when their Primeira Liga hopes are already over.
