Quarter-final draws for the UEFA Champions League have been held today, March 17, 2017 in Nyon, Switzerland.
And a couple of tantalising matches have come up.
Surprise package, Leicester City will face three-time finalists Atletico Madrid in their quest for a place in the last four.
The big tie of the round however is between Bayern Munich and defending champs Real Madrid, two clubs that have been champions 16 times between them.
Madrid have won their last three games against Bayern, including in the 2013/14 semi-finals when the Spanish side, then coached by current Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti, won the second leg 4-0 in Munich – the German side’s record home defeat in Europe.
Elsewhere in the draws, Barcelona – off a shocking comeback win against PSG – was pitched with two-time European champs Juventus while Manchester City’s conquerors, Monaco will meet Dortmund of Germany.
It is the first time ever that Monaco and Dortmund will meet in European competition.
The first leg quarter-final ties will hold April 11 and 12 with the return legs holding April 18 and 19, 2017.
No Fields Found.
