The UEFA Champions League quarterfinal draw is made on Friday, and it features a mix of repeat quarterfinalists and newcomers to this stage of the competition. AS Monaco hasn’t been here in over a decade, while Leicester City has never been here at all.

After those two, the remaining sides are the powerhouses you’d expect to see. La Liga is well represented, with all of Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid and Barcelona making it to the quartefinals — though the last of those needed the biggest comeback in the competition’s history to make it. Juventus is keeping Serie A’s hopes alive, while German giants Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are still in the tournament too.

This is the first round where there will be no restrictions on the draw. Seed, group placement and national affiliation don’t matter anymore, so we could see two top teams or two local rivals get pitted against each other.

The first legs of the quarterfinal ties will be played on April 11 and 12, with the second legs finishing up a week later, on April 18 and 19.
