The quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League always throws up some blockbuster fixtures. This season will be no different, as Liverpool have been paired with 2024/25 winners PSG in a rematch of last year's last 16 tie, while two continental giants will go head-to-head as Real Madrid take on Bayern Munich. Dates for the first and second legs of those fixtures have now been confirmed.

The line-up for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals has been confirmed after some goal-laden matches on Wednesday.
Liverpool joined Arsenal in becoming the only two Premier League clubs to reach the last eight after beating Galatasaray 4-1 on aggregate.
There was more misery for English teams though, as Tottenham and Newcastle were dumped out by the Spanish pair of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
Completing the quartet who made it through on Wednesday were Harry Kane's Bayern Munich, who backed up a 6-1 first leg win over Atalanta with a 4-1 second-leg success.
It means they all move a step closer to the final, which will take place in Budapest on May 30.
But first, attention turns to the last eight, with supporters beginning to plot their journeys across Europe.

- Kane and Salah score 50th UEFA Champions League goals on landmark night

So when will those fixtures take place, and who is each team due to play?
The draw for the quarter-finals was actually made alongside the one for the last 16 in Switzerland last month.
Liverpool will now take on defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, in what is a rematch of a last 16 clash from last season, when the French side progressed on penalties.

Arsenal's reward for defeating Bayer Leverkusen is a showdown with Portuguese side Sporting CP.
Those two sides have faced each other seven times before - with the Gunners losing just once - including a 5-1 success in the league phase last year.
Mikel Arteta's men will be hoping for a similar result this time around in their quest for a quadruple.
Elsewhere, there will be at least one Spanish side in the semi-finals, as Barcelona face Atletico Madrid, while Real Madrid take on Bayern Munich in a match that could pit Jude Bellingham against Kane.
And the dates for those matches have now been confirmed, with each match kicking off at 8pm BST.
