Champions League: Arsenal to Face Bayern Munich, Man City Vs Real Madrid
By Word Press
Arsenal and Manchester City were joined in the quarter-final draw by Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG and Bayern Munich, as the path to the Wembley final was revealed today, March 15, 2024.
Arsenal will face Bayern Munich as part of a blockbuster set of Champions League quarter-finals, with Harry Kane set to return to face the bitterest rivals of his former club Tottenham.
The Gunners made it through to their first Champions League quarter-final in 14 years but will now face a huge test in the form of the all-conquering German champions and their old nemesis Kane.

Meanwhile, perhaps the two best teams in Europe will square off again as Manchester City play Real Madridin a rematch of the semi-final from each of the past two years. City were dramatically dumped out by Madrid in 2022 before gaining revenge 12 months later and the winner over two legs will surely be the favourite to go on and lift the trophy.
However, they will face the winner of Arsenal-Bayern in what promises to be a mouthwatering semi-final. The other two quarter-finals see Barcelona take on Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid face Borussia Dortmund, with the winners of those clashes playing each other in the last four.
This was the last time UEFA will hold a Champions League draw manually, with the procedure changing to a computerised system when the competition switches formats next season.
