Defending champions Chelsea will meet Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Defending champions Chelsea have been drawn to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The clash between two of European football's biggest clubs is a repeat of the semi-final tie from last season, Chelsea prevailing on that occasion 3-1 on aggregate.

Thomas Tuchel's side progressed through to the last eight courtesy of overcoming Lille, the Blues coming from behind on Wednesday night to win by a 4-1 aggregate scoreline.

Meanwhile, Real only came through their last-16 tie with Paris Saint-Germain after dramatically scoring three times in the final 29 minutes of the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Whoever prevails from the last-eight showdown between the Premier League and La Liga giants will face either Manchester City or Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals.

Elsewhere in the quarter-final draw, Benfica will meet Liverpool, with Villarreal being draw to face Bayern Munich.
