Real Madrid get Manchester City, Arsenal to face Bayern Munich in Champions League quarter-final draw

Real Madrid will face Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals, while Arsenal have drawn Bayern Munich.

If City and Arsenal can win their quarter-finals, they will face each other in an all-Premier League semi-final.

Atletico Madrid were paired against Borussia Dortmund in Friday’s quarter-final draw in Nyon, Switzerland, while Paris Saint-Germain will play Barcelona. The winners of those ties will compete in the other semi-final.

Arsenal only just made it through to the quarter-finals, beating Porto in a penalty shootout earlier this week after the tie finished 1-1 on aggregate.

Their opponents, Bayern, similarly lost their last-16 first leg 1-0 against Lazio but a 3-0 win in Munich saw them reach the quarter-finals.

City, meanwhile, were comfortable winners against Danish side FC Copenhagen, securing 3-1 home and away victories to progress.

Real Madrid were given a tough test by RB Leipzig, but secured qualification for the quarter-finals after a 1-1 draw in Spain followed by a 1-0 away win in Germany.
