Each team will learn not only their opposition for the quarter final but the bracket they have been placed into for the semi-final, should they make it through – i.e. the winners of quarter-final A will play the winners of quarter-final B, and the winners of C will play D.
The full draw will be broadcast live over the UEFA Champions League website.
The Champions League draw will be followed directly by the draw for the final rounds of the Europa League. It is scheduled to begin at 12pm and will be broadcast live from the UEFA Europa League page.
