Champions League: Quarter-final draw

Barcelona vs Roma

Sevilla vs Bayern Munich

Juventus vs Real Madrid

Liverpool vs Manchester City 

First legs to be played April 3-4

Second legs to be played April 10-11 

Manchester City breezed into the second knockout round with a 5-2 aggregate win over Swiss champions Basle, but a home defeat in the second leg will be a slight cause of concern for Pep Guardiola.

The Citizens remain slight favourites to win their first European crown, slightly ahead of Spanish duo Barcelona and Real Madrid, both of whom had to overcome much tougher opponents to reach this stage.

Real Madrid dispatched early favourites Paris Saint-Germain thanks to another solo performance from Cristiano Ronaldo over two legs. The Portuguese scored three goals to help Zinedine Zidane’s men to a 5-2 aggregate win.

Barcelona had to endure a testing time against Premier League champions Chelsea in a tight first leg, but Lionel Messi inspired them to victory with two goals and an assist at the Nou Camp.

The third and final Spanish representative in the draw is Sevilla, who shocked Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United to leave the Portuguese’s standing at Old Trafford significantly damaged.

Mourinho’s former side Porto also limped out with their tail between their legs after being dispatched by Liverpool, the Premier League’s second and final representative in the quarter-finals. A 5-0 win in the away leg meant Jurgen Klopp’s men could relax to a 0-0 draw at Anfield.

Juventus and Bayern Munich showed their title credentials in different ways as the Italian’s came back from the brink to beat Tottenham at Wembley while Bayern Munich simply smashed past Besiktas, winning 8-1 on aggregate.

The Italian side are looking for their third final appearance in four years but their first Champions League title for 22 years. Indeed, they have suffered five successive defeats in the final since last lifting the famous trophy in 1996.

Bayern Munich have not made the final since winning the treble at Wembley in 2013, but are buoyed by the return of legendary manager Jupp Heynckes, who led them to that historic success.

Last and quite possibly least, Roma go into the final eight as the dark horse after edging Shakhtar Donetsk on away goals.
