Manchester City, the one remaining Premier League side in the competition, will play PSG - the side that knocked Chelsea out of the competition.
The first-leg will be played in Paris on Wednesday 6 April, with the second-leg at the Etihad on Tuesday 12 April. On the same two nights Real Madrid will be playing Wolfsburg. The first-leg of that tie will be played in Germany with the return leg at the Bernabeu.
The quarter-finals involving Bayern Munich vs Benfica and Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid will be played on Tuesday 5 April and Wednesday 13 April.
Manchester City's director of football Txiki Beriguistain accepts it is a tough draw, but one which the team will face head on.
"My first reaction was 'wow' but we'll do our best, we have confidence in our team," Beriguistain told Uefa.com.
"PSG are a really tough opponent. They're a very complete side in all aspects, but we're dreaming about continuing.
"PSG are growing year upon year, they're in the quarter-finals, but they want to get to the semi-finals. We need to recover some players and hopefully we'll play a competitive tie."
