Chelsea will take on Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final for the second season in a row.
The Blues, who beat Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 16, will face Los Blancos, the reigning champions of Europe who beat them in the last eight around 12 months ago. Madrid just thumped Liverpool 6-2 on aggregate in the last-16.
The two will meet at the Santiago Bernabeu for the first-leg before the decisive game at Stamford Bridge. The winners of the tie will take on whoever comes out on top of Manchester City versus Bayern Munich.

It's a really difficult draw for Chelsea with Real Madrid showing last time out against Liverpool how well they play on the biggest stage. Los Blancos have won the European trophy a record 14 times and are one of the favourites to make it 15 this term.
When Chelsea went head-to-head with the Madrid-based outfit last season, the first-leg was won 3-1 by the visitors at Stamford Bridge with Karim Benzema netting a superb hat-trick in London. The Blues actually won the second-leg at the Bernabeu with Mason Mount, Antonio Rudiger and Timo Werner scoring, but still lost 5-4 on aggregate after Benzema's extra-time winner for the Spanish side.
Elsewhere, Man City face Bayern Munich in what is a mouthwatering tie with Pep Guardiola taking on his former club. Chelsea or Madrid will play the winners of that tie in the last four.
AC Milan are facing fellow Italian side Napoli in the quarters, with Inter Milan taking on Benfica. The winners of those ties will go head-to-head in the semi-final.
