Liverpool face a rematch of their 2018 Champions League final with Real Madrid after being drawn together in the quarter-finals of the 2021 edition of the football’s elite tournament.

Manchester City will get a first-hand look at transfer target Erling Haaland after being drawn against Borussia Dortmund, while Chelsea have been handed a tie against Porto.

Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich meet in a re-run of last year’s showpiece in Lisbon to complete the draw.

Liverpool will be hoping to maintain their fine European form against Zinedine Zidane’s men, while also carrying out a spot of revenge.

Chelsea will be the happiest of the English contingent left in the competition having drawn the reigning Portuguese champions.

Chelsea and Porto have met eight times in the Champions League previously – most recently in the 2015 group stages – with Chelsea having lost just twice.

The final tie sees last year’s winners Bayern Munich take on last year’s runners-up PSG.

The draw for the semi-finals was also made, with Liverpool and Chelsea set to meet in the last four should they emerge victorious.

All quarter-final first leg ties are scheduled for April 6 and 7, while the return legs will be played the following week on April 13 and 14.
