Watch the Champions League quarter-final draw including repeat of last year's final between Atletico and Real Madrid.
Atletico and Real will contest the Madrid derby in the Champions League quarter-finals - a rematch of last year's final in Lisbon.
In what is set to be an intense week in the Spanish capital, the two La Liga giants will meet first at the Vicente Calderon on April 14 before the second leg at the Bernabeu eight days later on April 22.
Real thrashed their rivals 4-1 after extra time at the Estadio de Luz last May, with goals from Sergio Ramos, Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo.
But they have failed to beat Atletico in all six fixtures since, losing in the Spanish Super Cup, Copa Del Rey and both La Liga clashes, including a 4-0 thrashing last time out.
French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, who knocked out Chelsea in the last 16, will face current La Liga leaders Barcelona, who brushed aside Manchester City in the last round.
PSG will be without their talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the first leg after he was shown a straight red card in the victory at Stamford Bridge and received a one-match ban, but the Swede will be able to return to face his former club in the second leg at the Nou Camp on April 21.
Scott Minto believes that Atletico Madrid will be the favourites when they take on Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final.
Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich, thumped by Real in last year's semi-finals, face Porto, who have reached the last eight for the first time since 2009.
Serie A champions Juventus take on Monaco, who dumped out Arsenal in the last 16 but are in danger of missing out on the top-four in France.
First legs: April 14: Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid, Juventus v Monaco
April 15: Porto v Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain v Barcelona
Second legs: April 21: Bayern Munich v Porto, Barcelona v Paris Saint-Germain
