In the Champions League quarter-final draw held at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, defending champions Manchester City were paired with record winners Real Madrid, setting up a rematch of last year’s semi-final where City triumphed 5-1 on aggregate. Barcelona, on the other hand, will face Paris St Germain, with both teams eyeing a spot in the semi-finals.
This quarter-final also marks a significant moment for PSG’s Kylian Mbappe, as it could be his final opportunity to secure the Champions League title before his rumored departure from the club at the end of the season. PSG, who reached the final in 2020 but lost to Bayern Munich, are eager to claim their first Champions League trophy.
