Champions League Draw 2017-18: Schedule of Dates for Quarter-Final Fixtures

Rory MarsdenMar 16, 2018

Holders Real Madrid will take on Juventus in the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in a repeat of last year's final. 

The draw for the last eight took place on Friday and saw Manchester City pitted against Liverpool in a fascinating all-Premier League tie. 

Barcelona were drawn against AS Roma, and Bayern Munich will face Sevilla.

Champions League quarter-final draw

Barcelona vs. Roma 

Sevilla vs. Bayern Munich

Juventus vs. Real Madrid

Liverpool vs. Manchester City 

The first legs will be played on April 3 and April 4, and the second legs will be played on April 10 and 11.

Real's clash with Juve and Liverpool vs. City are undoubtedly the headline ties of the quarter-final draw.

Los Blancos are aiming to win their third Champions League title in a row, but the Italian side will be out for revenge after Zinedine Zidane's side thrashed them 4-1 in the 2017 final at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

If recent precedent is anything to go by, both legs of the Man City-Liverpool contest could be barnstorming.

The Reds were crushed 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium in September but then became the first (and still only) side to beat Pep Guardiola's Sky Blues this season in a 4-3 classic at Anfield in January.

Barca will likely be happy to have avoided some of the bigger names left in the draw, but Roma still pose a significant threat to the Blaugrana's ambitions of lifting the trophy this season.

Most notably, the Giallorossi have yet to concede at home this season in the Champions League, so Barcelona may need to get the job done at the Camp Nou if they are to advance.

Bayern are the club likely to be the happiest with their draw, as Sevilla are widely considered the weakest side left in the tournament.

They ousted Manchester United in the last 16 so should not be taken lightly. But the Red Devils were poor in both legs against the Spanish side, and an in-form Bayern should have more than enough to reach the semi-finals.
