It has produced a repeat of the 2014 final, with Real Madrid to meet Atletico Madrid in what is a thrilling prospect.

Real beat Atletico in a dramatic final in Lisbon last season.

After leading 1-0 for the better part of the final, Atletico conceded in stoppage time and went on to lose 4-1 to Los Blancos after extra time.

However, it is the runners-up who have edged Real Madrid in domestic competitions of late.

This includes a 4-0 league humiliation earlier this year.

Atletico also knocked Real out of the Copa Del Rey at the beginning of the season.

Another enticing encounter is the one between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

They met in this very tournament in the group stages.

PSG recorded a 3-2 victory in their own backyard, but the Catalans replied with a 3-1 win in the return leg at Camp Nou.

Here is are the full quarter-final draw: 

Paris Saint-Germain v FC Barcelona

Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid

FC Porto v FC Bayern Munich

Juventus v AS Monaco

The quarter-final first legs will take place on 14 and 15 April, while the return legs will take place on 21 and 22 April.

The final will take place on 6 June in Berlin.
