Meanwhile, Arsenal, who are in the form of their history in the Premier League, will go head to head against a strong Sporting CP, who did a 'remondata' to come over Bodo Glimt in the Round of 16.
Atletico Madrid, who smashed Chelsea and FC Barcelona, who thrashed Newcastle United, will go against each other in one of the biggest Spanish battles of this season.
And, finally, defending champions Paris Saint-Germain will face Liverpool FC as Arne Slot looks to win the biggest prize of his career.
