The UEFA Champions League draw takes place tomorrow as Chelsea find out who they will take on in the quarter-final of the European competition.
The Blues are bidding to lift the famous European trophy for a third time this season as Graham Potter looks for his first major honour since taking over as head coach six months ago. Chelsea got past Borussia Dortmund last week as they won the second-leg 2-0 to qualify to the last eight, with a 2-1 win on aggregate.
Last night saw Real Madrid get past Liverpool and Napoli do the same to Eintracht Frankfurt to complete the eight remaining teams in the Champions League. So this means Real Madrid, Napoli, Manchester City, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Benfica, Bayern Munich and Chelsea are all into the quarter-finals of the knockout tournament.

Now we are in the last eight, Chelsea can match up with any team remaining in the competition. So this means they could once again get AC Milan despite already playing them twice this season and they could also face fellow English side Man City.
With this said, football.london simulated the draw online to give us an idea of what it could look like. Chelsea supporters might be pleased if this draw is repeated in real life with the Blues getting Benfica.
The simulation would mean a return to Portugal for Enzo Fernandez, who left the club in the January transfer window for a British record fee. Out of all the teams remaining in the competition, Benfica are the third-lowest in UEFA's official club rankings. It would definitely be one that Chelsea fans would take out of what they could get.
Meanwhile, Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku, who scored the only goal of the tie as Inter Milan beat Porto over two legs in the round of 16, would face Bayern Munich in the last eight. The Belgian would have his work cut out as the German outfit once again look like one of the sides to beat in this season's competition.
Real Madrid would host Napoli in what looks like a really entertaining tie. Los Blancos proved too much for Liverpool in the round of 16 while Napoli demonstrated their talent once again against German side Eintracht Frankfurt.
The other tie we simulated would be Manchester City against AC Milan. Man City thumped RB Leipzig 8-1 on aggregate in the round of 16 with Erling Haaland getting five (five) goals in the second-leg at the Etihad Stadium.
Meanwhile, Milan beat Tottenham 1-0 on aggregate over two legs to knock Antonio Conte out of Europe.
