The quarterfinal pairings for the Champions League have been announced, pitting Arsenal against Bayern Munich and the reigning champions Manchester City against Real Madrid. Arsenal had to battle through Porto to get here, and now they have to defeat Bayern, who are trying to make a big impression following a disorganized season that has severely damaged their reputation. Real Madrid vs. Man City is another match that looks to be exciting.

These two faced off in the semi-final of the previous season, which Pep Guardiola's team won decisively 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium following a 1-1 draw in the first leg. The ongoing rivalry between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona is about to enter a new phase, forcing the team to revisit La Remontada. When they played for the first time in 2020–21, PSG's historic 4–1 triumph at Camp Nou set the stage for a comfortable victory for the French team. Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid square off in the round's final matchup. Although they did split victories in two games during the 2018–19 group stage, this is the first time these teams have faced off in the tournament's knockout rounds.

The quarterfinal matches' first leg is scheduled for April 9–10, while the second leg is scheduled for April 16–17 the following week. The second legs of the semifinals will take place on May 7–8, with the first round starting later in the month on April 30 and May 1. The two winning teams will compete in the championship game on June 1 at London's Wembley Stadium.
