Quarterfinals
Defending champions Bayern Munich drew Manchester United in a repeat of the classic 1999 Champions League final as a star-studded quarterfinal draw was made in Nyon on Friday.
Four-time champions Barcelona will play the first leg at the Nou Camp against La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid in an all-Spanish blockbuster while Chelsea tackle Paris Saint-Germain with the first leg in the French capital.
Real Madrid continue their quest for a record-extending 10th European Cup against 2013 finalists Borussia Dortmund.
Runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern will relish the chance of taking on a United side that snatched a 2-1 victory from the jaws of defeat in the 1999 Barcelona-hosted final.
United, meanwhile, have seen a stuttering season under David Moyes burst into life earlier this week when they defeated Olympiakos 3-0 to set up the Bayern match.
The first leg will be played at Old Trafford.
"What an exciting tie - a repeat of the 1999 final so everyone will be looking forward to the challenge it presents," said United General Secretary John Alexander.
"If we can do well in the first leg, we'll certainly have chances in the second leg to get some away goals."
Bayern defender Philipp Lahm warned against complacency despite United's struggles.
"We can't allow United's current position in the Premier League table to affect our mindset for this game," the veteran said.
"We'll need all our strength but we have a good chance of reaching the semifinals."
Jose Mourinho's Chelsea travel to the Parc des Princes to take on big-spending PSG although the Portuguese two-time European champion has never lost at the quarterfinal stages.
Chelsea defeated PSG 3-0 in Paris during the 2004-05 season group stages while the teams drew 0-0 at Stamford Bridge in the return.
PSG reached the last eight last season, with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm, before going out against Barcelona on away goals but remain along with Atletico as the two teams in the last eight never to have lifted the European Cup.
For the first time, all eight group winners from the pool round have advanced to this stage of the competition in an explosive quarterfinal lineup.
Cristiano Ronaldo goes into Real's match against Dortmund with 13 goals, one short of Lionel Messi's record for Champions League strikes in one season.
The first leg is set for the Santiago Bernabeu as Dortmund were handed a stiff test in their bid to return to the final after losing 2-1 against Bayern at Wembley in May.
However Dortmund will take heart from the fact they knocked out Real last season 4-3 on aggregate in the semifinals.
"It's a very tough draw for us," admitted Borussia Chairman Hans-Joachim Watzke.
First leg matches will be played April 1 and 2 with the return fixtures slated for April 8 and 9 before the draw for the semi-finals on April 11.
The final will be played at Benfica's Stadium of Light on Saturday May 24.
