Champions League Quarter-Finals: Matchups Set

The Champions League quarter-finals feature the ties: Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich, Barcelona vs. Atlético de Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain vs. Liverpool, and Sporting CP vs. Arsenal. The first legs will be held on April 7-8, with the second legs on April 14-15, hosted by the second-placed team in each tie. Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona will play their first leg at Camp Nou and the second leg at the Metropolitano, after the red-and-white team secured home advantage by eliminating Tottenham, who finished fourth in the previous round due to Barcelona's fifth-place finish. This will be the third time these two teams have met in the Champions League quarter-finals. Both teams are in the 'blue' section of the bracket, meaning the winner will face the victor of the other tie in that sector, which pits Sporting CP against Arsenal, with the first leg in Lisbon and the second in London. In the 'silver' section, Real Madrid, who eliminated Manchester City in the round of 16, will face Bayern Munich, who overcame Atalanta. The first match will be at the Bernabéu and the second at the Allianz Arena. The German side, leaders and current Bundesliga champions, finished second in the league phase of Europe's premier tournament. In the same section, where the winner of Real Madrid vs. Bayern will advance to the semi-finals, are also Paris Saint-Germain, who were dominant against Chelsea in the previous round, and Liverpool, who overturned a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Galatasaray with a commanding victory. They will face each other with the first leg at the Parc des Princes and the second at Anfield.
