The qualified teams
Manchester City (England)
Manchester City (defending champions) is one of the two Premier League sides in the pot.
They reached the quarter-final stage without losing any game. Any team they draw on Friday will probably be their toughest opposition this season.
Arsenal (England)
The last time Arsenal appeared in the Champions League was in the 2016/17 season.
The Gunners lost one game in the group stage and lost the first leg to Porto before winning on penalties.
Real Madrid (Spain)
The 14-time UEFA Champions League winners have a habit of reaching the semi-finals.
They lost to the eventual winners in the semi-final last season. Despite their injury problems, Los Merengues will fear no opposition.
Barcelona (Spain)
They have struggled a bit this season. They gave a dose of their potential when they beat Napoli 3-1 in the second leg.
Amid the departure of coach Xavi Hernandez at the end of the season, Los Blaugrana would have a few teams they'd like to avoid.
Atletico Madrid (Spain)
They remained as rugged as ever and pulled their chestnuts out of the fire against Inter Milan.
Most teams would like to avoid them. They have a tenacity that is unrivalled in Europe.

Bayern Munich (Germany)
Bayern Munich may have coasted to the quarter-final, with their only scare a first-leg 1-0 loss to Lazio, but the Bavarians still have some flaws.
On their good day, they will be a problem for any opposition.
Borussia Dortmund (Germany)
Borussia Dortmund made short work of PSV in the second leg of their round of 16 tie.
They look like the weakest of the eight teams in the pot, but they habitually rise to the occasion.
Paris Saint Germain (France)
In the last few years, PSG has dropped a few notches despite remaining dominant in Ligue 1.
Luis Enrique has started preparing for life after Kylian Mbappe, but as long as he's in the team, any opposition will have 90 minutes of hell.
