Elite eight await Friday's quarter-final draw

Eight clubs from seven countries will feature in the draw for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals from 11.45CET on Friday at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Full head-to-head records and team statistics are at the bottom of the article.

The lineup was completed on Wednesday when Real Madrid CF and Chelsea FC claimed the last two available berths. The pair joined FC Bayern München and Olympique de Marseille, who had won through on Tuesday, in the draw which will be conducted by UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino and the ambassador for the final, Paul Breitner.

FC Barcelona remain on course to become the first side to successfully defend the UEFA Champions League trophy after completing an emphatic 10-2 aggregate victory against Bayer 04 Leverkusen last week. Elsewhere, APOEL FC created history as the first Cypriot team to reach the quarter-finals, while seven-time winners AC Milan held off an Arsenal FC comeback and SL Benfica overcame FC Zenit St Petersburg to progress.

The draw will be open, meaning, for example, that Madrid and Barcelona can face each other, with the ties to be played on 27/28 March and 3/4 April. The semi-final pairings will also be determined and those games will take place on 17/18 and 24/25 April. The 2011/12 UEFA Champions League final will be held on Saturday 19 May at the Fußball Arena München, and a draw will also decide the "home" team for administrative purposes.

All the draw proceedings will be transmitted live on UEFA.com. Our live DrawCentre will also bring you all the build-up and post-draw reaction from Nyon.
