Benfica or Liverpool vs Villarreal or Bayern Munich Manchester City or Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea or Real Madrid But UEFA are expected to reverse this tie to avoid a clash with Spanish champions Atletico, who were also drawn second.

Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Villarreal round up the list of teams.

In the group stage and the round of 16, teams from the same federation are not allowed to be matched together. 10 minutes or so until the ceremony starts and so many appetizing potential matchups which could be produced. Whoever is drawn first will be at home with the second team playing the return leg at their home stadium. No all-English nor all-Spanish ties and two of the four quarterfinals are English-Spanish affairs. Liverpool also out of the hat with Chelsea, City, Villarreal and Benfica home for the first legs. However, despite Ajax's free scoring form earlier in this edition, Liverpool's attack is of superior quality, and they will be expected to advance over two legs. So much to look forward to before the Paris final. This one is by no means straightforward, but the Bavarians will be happy. Atletico Madrid games as the English and Spanish elite go head-to-head as seek a semifinal berth. An immediate return to Manchester beckons for Atleti after they disposed of United in the round of 16 and that success perfectly illustrates what Cholo's men are all about. This could have been a reunion with Paris Saint-Germain for Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, instead it is a date with the most decorated club in the competition's illustrious history with Los Blancos' 13 titles to the Blues' two.

Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Villarreal round up the list of teams.

However, despite Ajax's free scoring form earlier in this edition, Liverpool's attack is of superior quality, and they will be expected to advance over two legs. Liverpool also out of the hat with Chelsea, City, Villarreal and Benfica home for the first legs. An immediate return to Manchester beckons for Atleti after they disposed of United in the round of 16 and that success perfectly illustrates what Cholo's men are all about.

The quarterfinal draw avoided the confusion of the round of 16 event, but chaos may be just around the corner with the road to the final in Paris revealed.

In that regard, the pace of Rafa Silva probably represents the biggest Benfica threat. The only defeat was 1–0 to Inter having already won the first leg 2–0, which leaves a 2–2 league draw against European champion Chelsea. As a run of form, it’s pretty much unimpeachable and it has given new life to the title race. The pattern, arguably, started after his Bayern team’s defeat to Atlético in the ’16 semifinal, a barely credible Atlético smash-and-grab. But all three won the second leg, two of them away from home, and all three face testing ties in a quarterfinal draw that brought no single-country clashes. And yet a lead in the Premier League that had seemed unassailable has been reduced to a point, while the failure to score at Crystal Palace has, at least partially, reawakened the debate about whether it needs a center forward. Friday’s deadline for bids from potential owners is the first stage in working out what Chelsea may look like in the future, but for now the sense is of a disjunct between the playing side and the rest of the club.

The draw for the Champions League quarterfinals and semifinals took place on Friday, March 18. Here's how the four matchups stack up.

The Reds know what it takes to win at this point of the competition, but Benfica, a storied club from Portugal, will be looking to pull an upset. if they do, it would upset the European club order and add even more drama and excitement to what has been a great tournament so far this season. Pep Guardiola’s Man City have the talent to win this entire competition but have endured futility in recent years.

The quarter and semi-final draw will take place on Friday, with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich among the experienced big-hitters.

They will remember losing last year’s final 1-0 to Chelsea and will do everything to end the season victorious. Madrid may struggle to reach the levels they attained with Ronaldo, but they still have a squad capable of beating any team with passion and heart knowing no game is ever dead in the water. Benfica will be the underdogs whoever they draw in the next round, but low expectations may be what allows them to strive. With Dortmund out of the Europa League thanks to Rangers they will concentrate their energy knowing they could clinch their first Bundesliga since 2010-11 with Klopp. They lost their last-16 second leg 1-0 to Inter, but the 2-0 first-leg win gave them the leg room they needed to hold off the Italian side. The Reds have not played at the heights of their potential the last few games, as their manager has admitted, but they are capable of riding the opposition’s waves of momentum.
