Remaining eight await quarter-final draw


FC Barcelona and FC Girondins de Bordeaux's successes on Wednesday completed the lineup for the quarter and semi-final draws which will take place at 12.00CET on Friday in Nyon, Switzerland.
The lineup for the UEFA Champions League quarter and semi-final draws is complete after holders FC Barcelona and FC Girondins de Bordeaux joined Arsenal FC, FC Bayern München, FC Internazionale Milano, Manchester United FC, Olympique Lyonnais and PFC CSKA Moskva in the last eight.

UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino and the ambassador for the Madrid final, Emilio Butragueño, will make the draws from 12.00CET on Friday at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. The pairings will be determined by an open draw in which no teams are seeded and clubs from the same national association can be drawn against each other.

The quarter-finals are played on a home-and–away basis, with the first legs scheduled for 30 and 31 March and the return matches the following week, on 6 and 7 April. The four victorious teams will at this point know their semi-final opponents. The first legs of the last-four ties will be contested on 20 and 21 April, with the second legs on 27 April and 28 April.

An additional draw will define whether the winner of semi-final 1 or the winner of semi-final 2 will be considered, for administrative purposes, the home side in the final, which will take place on Saturday 22 May at Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu stadium (20.45CET kick-off).

Both club competition draws will be transmitted live on UEFA.com and Eurosport. Media representatives wishing to attend are requested to apply via email to accreditations@uefa.ch before 12.00CET on Thursday.
