The UEFA Champions League knockout stage is down to the final eight teams and the draw was held on Friday, March 18 with some heavyweight clashes on tap.
Reigning champions Chelsea will face record 13-time winners Real Madrid in a rematch of last season's Champions League semi-final, which saw the Blues advance by a 3-1 aggregate score.
It will be another England vs. Spain matchup when Atletico Madrid face Premier League champions Manchester City as managers Pep Guardiola and Diego Simeone clash.
Bayern Munich and Liverpool received relatively favorable draws among the favorites to hoist the trophy, landing Villarreal and Benfica, respectively. Both giants will host the second leg of each series at home. Should Bayern Munich and Liverpool advance, they would meet in the semi-finals with Bayern hosting the second leg.
