The Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals draw will take place this week as the competition approaches the business end.

A number of European heavyweights have booked a place in the pot for the final eight with Chelsea and Manchester City standing as the last Premier League representatives.

Reigning champions Real Madrid remain in the hunt for yet more glory on the continental stage but the draw looks rigged to explode with a number of teams threatening to go all the way.

One of the greatest sources of intrigue in the draw revolves around Milan as AC and Inter have both reached the quarter-finals, keeping hopes alive of a tantalising derby showdown between them.

Bayern Munich, Napoli and Benfica round off the final eight with everything still to play for ahead of the draw.
