Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are to play out a repeat of last season's final in this season's Champions League quarter-finals. The Spanish capital rivals needed extra-time last season before Cristiano Ronaldo and co came out on top. Holders Real Madrid scraped through to the last-eight after a scare against Schalke. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid needed penalties against Bayer Leverkusen after the tie ended 1-1 on aggregate.

PSG are to play Barcelona in the other glamour tie of the round. PSG knocked out Chelsea on away goals after a spirited display at Stamford Bridge in the last round after going down to 10-men. Despite Zlatan Ibrahimovic being sent-off early in the game, the French champions managed to draw 2-2 after extra-time to take them through on away goals. After such a display they will feel confident they can reach the last four, however they play a Barcelona side that impressed over their two legs against Premier League champions Manchester City, winning 2-1 at the Etihad and 1-0 at the Nou Camp. The sides have already met this season in the group stage, with the results giving little indication to who will come out on top. Barcelona won 3-1 at home and PSG won 3-2 at home.

Porto will play Bayern Munich. FC Porto came through against against FV Basel 5-1 on aggregate while Bayern Munich cruised through against Shakthar Donestsk. With the first-leg ending 0-0, Pep Guardiola's team dispatched their Ukrainian opponents 7-0 at the Allianz Arena.

Juventus vs Monaco completes the draw. Juventus thrashed German side Borussia Dortmund in the last round, winning their tie 5-1 on aggregate. Monaco meanwhile beat Arsenal on away goals, thanks to their 3-1 win at the Emirates.

There are no English teams in the last eight of the competition for the second time in three seasons after Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea were eliminated in the previous round. Liverpool went out at the group stage.

The quarter-final first legs will take place on 14/15 April and the second legs on 21/22 April.
