Chelsea and Manchester City are on a Champions League collision course - but both must get past tough quarter-final ties if they're to meet in the semi-final.
Graham Potter's Chelsea will face holders Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the same stage where the 14-time winners beat the Blues last season. The Blues saw off Borussia Dortmund to reach the last eight, while Madrid – managed by former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti – beat Liverpool 6-2 on aggregate, in a repeat of last season's final.
Things aren't much easier for Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola to face former club Bayern Munich, the 2020 winners, in the last eight. City thrashed Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in their last 16 tie, with Erling Haaland scoring five in the second leg, but they're unlikely to find things as straightforward against Julian Nagelsmann's reigning German champions, who eased past Paris Saint-Germain. It also means a reunion with Joao Cancelo, on loan at Bayern from City.
