The Champions League’s quarter-final draw has been concluded with all the eight remaining clubs discovering their fate in the latest knockout round.

The Champions League quarter-final draw took place at the UEFA headquarters in Nylon, Switzerland, and drew up some interesting fixtures.

In an open draw, where there was no seeding or country protection, a repeat of last season’s final will take place between reigning champions Bayern Munich and PSG.

Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, is arguably the most exciting tie. It will be particularly interesting to see how Erling Haaland fares against Pep Guardiola’s rock-solid defense.

Chelsea hope to avoid Juventus’ fate against Porto, while Liverpool will lock horns with Real Madrid.
