It was just 12 months ago that football fans around the globe were blessed with a phenomenal 7-6 aggregate score between Inter Milan and Barcelona, as well as another thrilling tie between Arsenal and Paris St Germain.
Premier League leaders Arsenal and last year's champions have found themselves on the opposite sides of the draw this time around, with the Parisians set to face Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich on Tuesday, before the Gunners face Atletico Madrid a day later.

Which two, of those impressive four, qualify for the final will be decided over the coming two days.
