If, however, you cannot watch the draw, you can bookmark this article which will turn into The Independent’s live blog.
How does it work?
As per usual at this stage of the competition, the draw is unseeded and there will be no ‘country protection’, meaning teams from the same domestic league can be drawn against each other.
The team drawn first will play the first leg at home, with those drawn second away.
When will the Champions League semi-finals take place?
This year’s semi-final first legs will be played on 2 and 3 May, with the return legs played the following week across 9 and 10 May.
OK, finally, Marchetti's going through the rules, so we're about to get going.
There you have it. How easy was that?
The two Madrid teams meet yet again. Can Diego Simeone's side do it this time?
One last thing to tidy up. Who will be at home in the final?
It will be the winners of semi-final 2, i.e. the winners of the Monaco vs Juventus tie.
That's it.
The poll at the top of this blog remains open and now the draw has been made, we have a little more clarity.
