Awaiting them are Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Monaco and Atletico Madrid - so there are no easy draws left!

Just a reminder that this is a completely free draw! That means no one is protected by seedings or countries. So Barcelona vs Real Madrid is basically a certainty, no?
