The last 16 saw Tottenham dumped out by Juventus, while fellow Premier League side Manchester United suffered the same fate against Sevilla.
Paris Saint-Germain’s mega riches failed to transfer to success on the pitch as defending champions Real Madrid cruised beyond them, leaving Ligue 1 without a representative in the last eight.
Anyway, here’s all the information you need about the draw!

When is the draw and how can I follow it?

The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League is on Friday, March 16 at 11:00 (GMT). It will be streamed live on Eurosport 1 and right here on Eurosport.co.uk and through the mobile app.

Who is in the hat?

  • Juventus
  • Manchester City
  • Liverpool
  • Sevilla
  • Real Madrid
  • Roma
  • Chelsea or Barcelona (1-1 agg after first leg)
  • Bayern Munich or Besiktas (5-0 on agg after first leg)

Who can face who?

For the first time in the competition, it’s an open draw – meaning there are no seedings and teams from the same nation can draw each other. So we could see El Clasico (should Barca progress) and a Manchester derb… oh no, just El Clasico.

When will the matches be played?

First legs will take place on April 3/4, with the second legs coming on April 10/11.
