Champions League draw
Good morning and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of the Champions League quarter-final draw.
Manchester City and Chelsea are one step closer to the Champions League final after progressing through the round of 16. Today they will find out who their opponents in the quarter-final stage will be as the draw is held to determine the next round of fixtures.
Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and AC Milan are all viable opponents and there is the possibility that the two Premier League sides could face each other. There is no seeding for teams at this stage meaning clubs from the same country and group could meet again in the competition.
The semi-final draw will immediately follow the deciding of the last eight ties, along with determining which side will be the home team for the final, meaning all remaining teams will be aware of their potential route through to the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.
Elsewhere, Manchester United are the only English team to make it into the last-eight of the Europa League and they will discover their potential route to the final as well.
