Manchester City will face Real Madrid for the third consecutive season in the Champions League, as they go head to head in the UCL quarterfinal while Arsenal will host Bayern in the first leg with former Tottenham star Harry Kane returning to North London, as the quarterfinal draw of the UCL, UEL and UECL were decided at Nyon, Switzerland on Friday afternoon.
Barcelona will take on Paris Saint Germain while Borussia Dortmund play against Atletico Madrid in the other quarterfinal ties. Holders City must overcome Real once again to defend their crown after thumping the FOURTEEN time winners last season in the semifinal en route to claiming the treble.
The first legs of the quarterfinal ties will be played on April 9 and 10, with the return legs to be played on April 16 and 17, while the semifinals will be on April 30 and May 1, with the second legs on May 7 and 8, and the Champions League final is on June 1 at Wembley Stadium.
There will be no Bayern Munich fans at Arsenal for the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, as Bayern were handed a ban from attending the away leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie because their supporters threw fireworks onto the pitch during their 3-1 win at Lazio earlier this month.
