The Champions League draw has thrown up some mouthwatering fixtures, with the quarter-finals promising high drama and tactical battles.

The Quarter Finals Champions League Draw

Real Madrid vs Manchester City

The two frontrunners according to many pundits will collide in a repeat of last season's fiery semifinal. Manchester City will be looking to avenge their defeat at the Bernabéu, having surrendered a 4-0 lead at the Etihad last season. Real Madrid, meanwhile, face a familiar foe who dismantled them last year. This tie promises attacking fireworks and tactical chess from Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti.

Barcelona vs PSG

A clash brimming with storylines sees Barcelona face Paris Saint-Germain. The Parisians boast the lethal attacking duo of Kylian Mbappé and Luis Enrique, the former Barcelona manager. This reunion adds spice to the encounter, with revenge high on Barcelona's agenda after their exit at the hands of PSG in the group stage last season.

Atlético Madrid Seeks Advantage Against Dortmund

Los Colchoneros may have drawn the seemingly easier opponent on paper in Borussia Dortmund. However, the second leg away at the Signal Iduna Park will be a daunting prospect. Diego Simeone's side will need to be at their defensive best to navigate this tie.

Arsenal Faces Uphill Battle Against Bayern Munich

The Gunners find themselves in a challenging encounter against the German giants, Bayern Munich. The Bavarians boast a strong squad and a hunger to reclaim their Champions League crown. Arsenal will need to pull off a major upset to progress.

A potential logistical issue has emerged. If both Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid progress, they could be scheduled to play their home Champions League matches on April 9th and 10th, just a day apart. This could cause logistical challenges for local authorities and fan bases.

Dates and Destination Set for the Grand Finale

The first leg ties will be played on April 9th and 10th, followed by the second legs a week later on April 16th and 17th. The semifinals are scheduled for April 30th and May 1st, with the return legs on May 7th and 8th. The Champions League final will grace Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday, June 1st.

This Champions League edition promises exciting clashes and a thrilling journey to the final. With storylines aplenty and some of the world's best players set to take center stage, football fans are in for a treat.
