The Champions League quarter and semi-final draw has been made, with holders Chelsea set to meet Real Madrid in the next round.
The eight remaining 2021/22 UEFA Champions League hopefuls can now plot their paths to the final after the quarter-final and semi-final draws were held in Nyon.
The UEFA Champions League is down to the final eight stage. Three Premier League clubs and three La Liga clubs remain in the hunt for the continent’s most prestigious trophy.
That final will now take place in Paris after St. Petersburg were stripped of hosting the match – but before teams can dream about glory in France, there are two more rounds to navigate.
