Liverpool have been paired with Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, while Manchester City will take on Borussia Dortmund.
Elsewhere, Chelsea must try and navigate a route past surprise package Porto and there will be a re-match between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain – the two finalists from 2020.
All contests at this stage of elite European competition are mouth-watering, but the draw for the last-eight has thrown up some intriguing tussles.
Liverpool and Real Madrid have plenty of history, with the Blancos emerging victorious against the Reds in 2018 final as they conquered the continent for the 13th time, and will be expected to produce more fireworks when they lock horns.
Manchester City remains in the hunt for a historic quadruple this season, but Pep Guardiola’s efforts to deliver a first Champions League crown to the Etihad Stadium will be tested to the full by Erling Haaland, Jadon Sancho and an exciting Borussia Dortmund side.
Porto, who prevailed as underdogs under Jose Mourinho 17 years ago, stunned Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus in the last-16 and face another tough task against a Chelsea side that is yet to suffer defeat under Thomas Tuchel.
Bayern Munich retain their grip on the most prestigious of prizes for now, but they were pushed all the way by PSG in last season’s showpiece and will need no reminding of the considerable threat posed to them by the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
