In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City is set to square off against the formidable Real Madrid, while Arsenal will face a tough challenge against Bayern Munich. Manchester City, the reigning champions, will have their work cut out for them as they go up against Real Madrid, the record 14-time winners of the prestigious tournament.

This upcoming match marks the third consecutive season that these two football giants will clash on the European stage. Last season, Manchester City managed to overcome Real Madrid in the semi-finals, ultimately securing their maiden Champions League title. However, it's worth noting that Real Madrid had previously emerged victorious in the last four encounters in 2019.

On the other hand, Arsenal, who secured their place in the quarter-finals after a thrilling penalty shootout victory over Porto, will now face Bayern Munich, led by the prolific former Tottenham star Harry Kane, who has been in sensational form, netting an impressive 36 goals in his debut season for the German side.

The draw has also set the stage for a potential all-English semi-final, with the victors of the Arsenal-Bayern clash facing either Real Madrid or Manchester City in the next round.

Meanwhile, the football world is eagerly anticipating the renewal of the storied rivalry between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona. PSG, determined to clinch their first Champions League title before Kylian Mbappe's impending departure, will seek to avenge previous defeats against Barcelona, including the unforgettable comeback by the Spanish side in 2017.
