Manchester City will face either Juventus or Lyon if they manage to overcome Real Madrid in the round of 16.
Elsewhere, RB Leipzig will take on Atletico Madrid while Atalanta will face Neymar’s Paris Saint-Germain. Chelsea face an uphill task to make the quarter-final stage but Napoli or Barcelona await them should they manage it.
The draw opens up the possibility that Pep Guardiola could face former club Barcelona should both sides progress to the last four.
The draw is weighted heavily on one side - meaning only one of Bayern, Juve, Barcelona, Manchester City or Real Madrid can make the final.
QUARTER-FINAL DRAW
- QF1: Real Madrid or Manchester City v Lyon or Juventus
- QF2: RB Leipzig v Atletico Madrid
- QF3: Napoli or Barcelona v Chelsea or Bayern Munich
- QF4: Atalanta v Paris Saint-Germain
SEMI-FINAL DRAW
- QF1 v QF3
- QF2 v QF4
Before City or Chelsea can consider ties with Lyon or Juventus and Napoli or Barcelona respectively they will have to negotiate last-16 second-leg matches against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich first.
Chelsea, currently 3-0 down against Bayern after the first leg at Stamford Bridge, will need a remarkable comeback if Frank Lampard is to progress to the quarter-final of Europe's premier competition at the first attempt. City, meanwhile, hold a 2-1 advantage over Real Madrid following the first leg at the Bernabeu.
All of the quarter and semi-final matches will be one-off matches.
