United to Face Bayern Munich
#1
Looks like United got pitted against Bayern for the quarter finals

Euro giants to clash
Ferguson's men drawn against Germans; Arsenal to tackle Barca

Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United will face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, while Arsenal will take on holders and favourites Barcelona.

Lyon will meet Ligue 1 rivals Bordeaux and Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan will play surprise package CSKA Moscow, who stunned Sevilla in the last 16.

United or Bayern will then meet Lyon or Bordeaux in the semi-finals, while Inter or CSKA are set to tackle Arsenal or Barcelona.

Ferguson's men will travel to Germany for the first leg on 30th March before welcoming Louis van Gaal's side to Old Trafford on 7th April.

Difficult

The tie is a repeat of the 1999 final when United dramatically defeated Bayern in the late stages at the Camp Nou in their famous Treble-winning season.

Arsenal's meeting with Barcelona will see arguably the two most aesthetically pleasing sides on the continent meet in a repeat of the 2006 European Cup final and will mean Thierry Henry face his former club.

The Gunners host Pep Guardiola's Spanish and European champions in the first leg on 31st March before facing a difficult return meeting in the Catalan on 6th April.

French rivals Lyon and Bordeaux will battle for the chance to meet United or Bayern in the semi-finals, with the victorious Ligue 1 side set to travel away for the first leg on 21st April before the second encounter on 27th April.

Arsenal will travel to Chelsea's conquerors Inter or CSKA, who are appearing in the quarter-finals for the first time, in the semi-finals if they can overcome Barcelona.

Quarter-final draw:

Lyon v Bordeaux

Bayern Munich v Manchester United

Arsenal v Barcelona

Inter Milan v CSKA Moscow

The first legs will be played on March 30/31 and the second legs on April 6/7.

Semi-final draw:
