Chelsea have had the better of 12 previous meetings with Barcelona, with four wins to the Liga side's three. The Blues prevailed in the most recent clash, edging a 3 - 2 aggregate victory in the 2011/12 semi-finals (when Messi missed a second-leg penalty). Paris's tie with Real Madrid has special meaning for Ángel Di María, who spent four seasons in the Spanish capital and was man of the match in the 2014 UEFA Champions League final, his penultimate outing for the Merengues. Group winners (the teams playing home second legs) have progressed in 72.3% of round of 16 ties since the current competition format was introduced.

UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw Friday 16th March 2018 Liverpool face Manchester City but Juventus's meeting with Real Madrid in a repeat of last season's final is perhaps the stand-out tie. UEFA Champions Leage quarter-final draw Barcelona (ESP) v Roma (ITA) Sevilla (ESP) v Bayern München (GER) Juventus (ITA) v Real Madrid (ESP, holders) Liverpool (ENG) v Manchester City (ENG)Draw facts Barcelona (ESP) v Roma (ITA) 1st leg: 4th April, 2nd leg: 10th April 4 previous UEFA meetings: 1 Barcelona win 1 Roma win 2 draws Most recent encounter came in the 2015/16 group stage, the Spanish side winning 6 - 1 in the Camp Nou with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez both scoring twice. Barcelona are 12 matches unbeaten against Italian sides at the Camp Nou (W9 D3). Lionel Messi has 12 goals in 19 games against Serie A opposition at a rate of one every 136 minutes. Sevilla (ESP) v Bayern München (GER) 1st leg: 3rd April, 2nd leg: 11th April These clubs have never met before in UEFA competition. Bayern have lost on their last five trips to Spain; Sevilla have never lost at home to visitors from Germany (W7 D4). Sevilla overcame German opposition in four of their five UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League-winning campaigns. Juventus (ITA) v Real Madrid (ESP, holders) 1st leg: 3rd April, 2nd leg: 11th April 19 previous meetings: 8 Juventus wins 9 Real Madrid wins 2 draws A repeat of last season's final, when Madrid won 4 - 1 in Cardiff. Cristiano Ronaldo has seven goals in five matches against Juventus – one every 64 minutes. Juve have won the teams' last four two-legged knockout ties on aggregate, including their 2014/15 semi-final – the last time Madrid were knocked out of the competition. The Bianconeri have won six of the sides' seven most recent meetings in Turin. Liverpool (ENG) v Manchester City (ENG) 1st leg: 4th April, 2nd leg: 10th April The pair have never met before in UEFA competition.

The Reds are the only team to beat Pep Guardiola's charges in this season's Premier League. Raheem Sterling scored 18 goals in 95 Premier League appearances for Liverpool between 2012 and 2015; James Milner was a member of Manchester City's title-winning squads in 2012 and 2014. It was an open draw: there were no seeds, and teams could play a club from their group or any side from their own association. Final ambassador Andriy Shevchenko selected the balls.

The final four learn what stands between them and the UEFA Champions League trophy. Semi-final draw Bayern München (GER) v Real Madrid (ESP, holders) – 25th April & 1st May Liverpool (ENG) v Roma (ITA) – 24th April & 2nd May Final draw For administrative reasons, a draw was also made to determine the 'home' team at NSC Olimpiyskiy, Kyiv on 26th May. Bayern München/Real Madrid v Liverpool/Roma Draw facts Having become the first side to win back-to-back titles in the UEFA Champions League era last season, Real Madrid want to be the first club since Bayern (1974–76) to claim three successive European Cups. Ajax also won three in a row between 1971 and 1973, while Madrid hold the all-time record having won the first five finals. Bayern v Real Madrid will meet for the 25th and 26th time in Europe, making it the most-played UEFA competition tie. Liverpool will move ahead of Bayern and Barcelona to six European Cup titles with victory in Kyiv. Only AC Milan (7) and Real Madrid (12) have managed more. Jupp Heynckes has a 100% record of reaching UEFA Champions League finals. In his three previous campaigns, he triumphed with Real Madrid (1997/98) and Bayern (2012/13), also finishing runner-up with the Bavarians in 2011/12. Roma aim to become the 23rd team to lift the European Cup, and the fourth from Italy. © 1998-2018 UEFA. All rights reserved. WL

Final Saturday 26th May, Kyiv Real Madrid 3 - 1 LiverpoolReal Madrid completed their third straight UEFA Champions League triumph with a 3 - 1 defeat of Liverpool in Kyiv. Gareth Bale scored twice off the bench as Real Madrid beat Liverpool in Kyiv to become European champions for the 13th time. Bale's first was an 'I-was-there' goal, one to rival Zinédine Zidane, Mario Mandžukić and any other you care to name as the best in final history. Marcelo's cross from the left looked harmless enough, but the Welshman, just inside the penalty area, somehow contorted his body to hook the ball over his head with enough power that it fizzed past Loris Karius. Quite the contrast to Madrid's opener on 51 minutes, when Karius attempted to roll the ball out to a team-mate only for Benzema to stick out a hopeful leg which turned out to be a goalscoring interception. Isco had been denied by the crossbar shortly prior to that, but Liverpool – creaking ever since the talismanic Mohamed Salah had been forced off with a shoulder problem in the first half – were quick to dust themselves down after going behind. Indeed they were level just four minutes later, Dejan Lovren's towering header from a corner poked in by Sadio Mané at the back post. That was as good as it got for the Reds, though, Bale almost single-handedly turning the tide back in Madrid's direction after coming on just past the hour. He struck his second with seven minutes left, a long-range shot that somehow squirted through Karius's palms, and – after Mané had struck a post at the other end – almost added a third when clean through moments later. Madrid and Zidane had already wrapped up their very own hat-tricks by then, though. Man of the match: Gareth Bale What an impact. He only got 13 minutes as a substitute in Cardiff last year, but had a far more telling role to play during his half-hour this time round. That first goal really was one for the ages. Peter Rudbæk, speaking on behalf of the UEFA technical observers, said: "The observers chose Bale due to his game-changing display off the bench and his outstanding acrobatic goal to put his team ahead." Reporters' views Joe Walker, Real Madrid (@uefacomjoew) There's a saying in Spain: 'El Madrid es el Madrid'. They are Madrid and they just get things done, no matter the situation. Tonight they were the better team and were able to take full advantage of the chances that came their way. Three in a row, Zidane absolutely got it spot on, and you wouldn't bet against a fourth next year either. Matt Howarth, Liverpool (@uefacommatth) Klopp's troops burst out of the traps and forced Navas into several good saves, but Salah's early departure proved to be the turning point. Liverpool players were inconsolable at full time, needless to say, but once the pain of defeat subsides they can look back with immense pride at their achievements in the competition this term. Reaction Zinédine Zidane, Real Madrid coach Our achievement tonight is the most important thing – we have to congratulate the players because it's not at all easy to do this. There are no words to describe this. The amazing thing about this squad is that they don't have a ceiling. They are hungry for more and they've demonstrated that today. Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool manager Congratulations to Real Madrid. [Salah's departure] was a big moment in the game. It was unlucky that he fell on his shoulder and it's a serious injury. We'll never know what would have happened if he'd played on. The shock was obvious and we dropped too deep. [Bale] was very decisive – the bicycle kick was an unbelievable goal. Key stats Madrid are the first team to win three in a row since Bayern in the 1970s Zidane is the first coach to win the competition three seasons running Ronaldo is the first player to win five UEFA Champions League titles Bale is the seventh player to score twice in a UEFA Champions League final He is the first to find the net twice after coming on as a substitute © 1998-2018 UEFA.
