11:00 GMT today starts the draw for the QFs and the semis, 8 teams left:

Bayern Munich
PSG
Real Madrid
Manchester City
Arsenal
Barcelona
Borussia Dortmund
Atletico Madrid


Teams can face teams from the same country, no other draw rules apart from one - City has to get the easiest opponent possible, so we can bet they're drawing BVB.

What other QFs would you like to see drawn, who will have the easiest route to the final?
 
Nice to see Ranieri back.
 
Seems a pretty stacked QF compared to some recent ones I seem to remember.

We need Germany to perform badly to guarantee 5th gets CL don't we?

It is pretty stacked - only team that's not in the "currently top" bracket for me is Borrussia.

And yeah, German teams underperforming would be good for England scrapping the 5th CL slot. Yesterday's West Ham win against Freiburg helped a bit in this, too.
 
Did Ranieri manage Mikel?
 
RIP Arse
 
Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
 
Real Madrid vs Man City...wow
 
Early trip to London. Loving it to play against Arsenal. Do many nice memories.
 
Arsenal vs Bayern
Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
Real Madrid vs Man City
PSG vs Barcelona

Good ties overall - I don't see BVB and Barcelona progressing. The other two ties are closer, but I'll have Bayern down as favourites and maybe Real just a smidge more than City.
 
That draw couldn't have been better. Now for Arsenal v City.
 
One of Atletico, Dortmund, PSG or Barca in the final guaranteed
 
Very good draw for Germans teams..
The best possibile for Dortmund in particular (Atletico + 2nd game at home and then Barcelona/PSG in the SF.. they couldnt have asked more)

The fight for the 5th spot in the UCL looks spicy..
 
Well this is an opportunity for Arsenal to let us know how good they are.

The Bayern fixture was always inevitable, every bloody year and always seemed to go the same way.

Hopefully they give it a better shot than we did when it came to defending.
 
Bayern-Arsenal is bad news for Villa/Spurs. If Bayern go through, England lose another club to rack up the points while Germany would extend its lead over them. So is City getting Real.
 
Decent draw! City having to go through Real and Bayern/Arsenal to make the final.
 
Bayern - City
BVB - PSG

and then Bayern - BVB final in Wembley again :)
 
Barcelona will struggle to get past PSG.
 
Think I'll back Atletico to win it
 
I like these draws. It feels like ages since we last played Arsenal and a lot has changed. Hope we can continue the traditions :D
