Manchester City will play Paris Saint-Germain, the side who knocked out fellow Premier League side Chelsea, in the Champions League quarter-finals after being drawn against the already-crowned French league champions in Nyon.

Having conquered European rivals Chelsea in the last-16 for the second consecutive year, PSG will hope to send City out of the competition in order to reach the semi-finals for just the second time in their history following their 1995 appearance in the last-four.

For City though, the two-legged affair – which takes place on 5/6 and 12/13 April – will be the first time they have appeared in the Champions League quarter-finals, and given their dramatic drop in form in the Premier League, they will head into the match as clear underdogs given PSG’s incredible form this season.

The Parisians wrapped up a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title last weekend with eight games left to spare, although City can hope that the lack of competition for PSG could lead to complacency creeping into their game ahead of the quarter-final clash.

Elsewhere, Barcelona face a difficult affair against La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid in a repeat of the 2013/14 quarter-final, where Diego Simeone’s side stunned their Catalan opponents to triumph 2-1 on aggregate during their march to the Champions League final.

Atletico’s city rivals Real Madrid take on German outfit Wolfsburg in what appears to be the dream tie for Zinedine Zidane’s side, and with the 10-time Champions League winners effectively out of the running for Spanish domestic honours this season, Europe will be their only hope of silverware this term.

The final tie sees Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich go up against Portuguese side Benfica, and the future Manchester City manager will be pleased with the draw having come through a nail-biting last-16 clash with Italian champions Juventus, in which the Bundesliga title holders needed extra-time before booking their place in the last-eight.
