Liverpool draw Manchester City in Champions League quarter-finals
Updated 16/03/2018 at 13:39 GMT
Liverpool will take on Manchester City in an all-English quarter-final of the Champions League.
It's a draw perhaps neither side would have wanted but Jurgen Klopp's side will face the Premier League leaders over two legs in April.
The two teams have gone head-to-head twice in the Premier League this season, with Pep Guardiola's men thrashing 10-man Liverpool 5-0 back in September. But Liverpool avenged that defeat by edging a seven-goal thriller 4-3 in January.
The first leg will be played at Anfield on either April 3 or 4, with the return leg - perhaps crucially - at the Etihad a week later.
Holders Real Madrid will face Juventus in what is a repeat of last year's showpiece. The Italians, who will host the first leg, were thumped 4-1 by Real in Cardiff, although the Turin side came out on top when they last met over two legs, in the semi-finals in 2015.
Overall, the teams have faced each other 19 times with eight wins for Juve, nine for Real - including the 1998 final - and two draws.
La Liga leaders Barcelona take on Roma, bringing back unhappy memories for the Italian side who lost 6-1 on their last visit to Nou Camp in November 2015.
Manchester United's conquerors, Sevilla, face a tricky tie against German champions Bayern Munich, though the runaway Bundesliga leaders promised they would not underestimate their opponents.
"It certainly is no easy draw, they did not come through to this stage by accident," said Bayern midfielder David Alaba.
