Arsenal and Man City have discovered their fates
The draw has been made for the Champions League quarter finals, with the road to Wembley now laid out for all eight sides.
Unlike in the round of 16, where teams from the same nation or who had been in the same group together were kept apart, anyone could draw anyone in the quarter final draw.
And it’s safe to say some pretty tasty ties have been thrown up, as we reach the business end of the competition.
Reigning champions Manchester City will be taking on Real Madrid as they continue their quest to defend their Champions League crown.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have been drawn against Bayern Munich. This will be their first Champions League quarter final appearance since 2010.
This will of course see former Spurs striker Harry Kane take on his former side’s big rivals.
The other two ties will see Atletico Madrid face Borussia Dortmund and PSG will do battle with Barcelona.
The first legs of the quarter finals will take place on April 9-10 with the return fixtures on April 16-17.
The teams also now have a clearer idea of their route to Wembley, with the semi finals having also been drawn.
The winner of Man City vs Real Madrid will clash with Arsenal or Bayern Munich in the first semi final, with the winners of PSG vs Barcelona and Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund facing off in the other last four tie.
The semi finals are scheduled to take place on April 30 – May 1 and May 7-8.
The semi final winners will then take each other on in the final at Wembley on Saturday, June 1.
Later on Friday, the draw will be made for the Europa League and Conference League quarter finals, as Liverpool, West Ham and Aston Villa discover their next opponents.
