Champions League: Madrid draw Chelsea, City face Bayern in quarter-finals


Holders Real Madrid will face Chelsea while Bayern Munich take on Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League season.

Whoever wins the Bayern-City 2022-23 Champions League quarter-finals tie will face either Chelsea or Madrid in the semi-finals.

In another juicy affair, Victor Osimhen’s Napoli will battle Serie A rivals AC Milan in the last eight.
