Champions League quarter-finals confirmed: Giant clashes and revenge plots in last eight | OneFootball

The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals have been confirmed following the midweek action.

The fixtures for the competition's last eight are finalised with some huge ties awaiting next month.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will collide as the Champions League's most regular rivalry returns. The Spanish side eliminated Manchester City 5-1 on aggregate in a statement performance, but will perhaps start as underdogs against a Bayern team in fine form.

The German giants eased into the quarter-finals with a 10-2 aggregate thrashing of Atalanta in the last 16. It continues an incredible record that means Real Madrid and Bayern have never met in aChampions League final, despite it being the most played fixture in the competition's history.

Liverpool's reward for an emphatic second-leg comeback against Galatasaray is a clash with holders Paris Saint-Germain. It's a rematch of last season's last-16 tie that saw PSG progress on penalties, on route to a maiden European crown.

Elsewhere,Arsenal's reward for progressing past Bayer Leverkusen is a tie with Sporting Lisbon.

Sporting staged a stunning fightback to eliminate Bodo/Glimt and reach the last eight. The Portuguese side became only the fifth team to recover from losing the first leg of a knockout tie by three or more goals, winning 5-0 in Lisbon after a 3-0 first-leg defeat.

The final fixture will seeBarcelona and Atletico Madrid do battle in an all-Spanish showdown. Barcelona secured a stunning 7-2 win over Newcastle in their second leg this week, while Atletico also eliminated English opponents in Tottenham.
