Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho will reunite with Didier Drogba in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after they drew Galatasaray.

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho will go up against his former striker Didier Drogba in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The Spanish giants were drawn Turkish outfit Galatasaray in the final eight of the elite competition, avoiding a potential El Clasico with Barcelona.

The Ivory Coast frontman helped the club that he joined in January edge out Schalke 04 in a thrilling 4-3 aggregate win at the Veltins-Arena on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Madrid's rivals Barcelona will take on Paris Saint-Germain.

Champions League quarter-final matches:
