So, a recap on the Champions League quarter-final draw. Chelsea will travel to France to face Ligue 1 leaders Paris St-Germain in the first leg, while Manchester United entertain Bundesliga runaway leaders and defending European champions Bayern Munich before travelling to Germany for the second leg. Ties are to be played 1-2 April and 8-9 April.

Times football writer Rory Smith on Twitter:, external You couldn't get a bad quarter final draw with those teams, and they're all great games, but PSG-Chelsea probably the most intriguing.

With the exception of Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea have met all of their potential quarter-final opponents in the Champions League before. The only team they have not won a match against in the last eight are Manchester United, who beat them 3-1 over two legs in 2011 and on penalties in the 2008 final in Moscow.

Paris St-Germain are the only side United have not faced before and they have recorded victories over the other six teams they could be drawn against.

Bayern Munich share the record for losing Champions League finals - five - with Benfica and Juventus.

Only Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck's last-ditch equaliser stopped them losing on their first-ever final appearance, against Atletico in 1974.

Former England captain Gary Lineker on Twitter:, external "Wonderful landmark for Arsene Wenger to reach 1,000 games as Arsenal manager. He has given the game in this country grace, dignity and joy.

Carlo Ancelotti's side cruised through a group containing Juventus and Galatasaray. Yet the most frightening thing for their opponents is that they have improved markedly since their 6-1 opening-night win in Istanbul.

With 29 goals to their name, the competition's top scorers then dismantled Schalke to reach a fourth successive quarter-final. Weaknesses? Very few. Injuries in the full-back positions at various points of the season - firstly to Marcelo and Fabio Coentrao, now to Alvaro Arbeloa - suggests the best way to attack El Real might be down the flanks.

Who will Chelsea get? Who will Manchester United avoid? Live coverage of the Champions League quarter-final draw is on BBC Radio 5 live from 11:00 GMT.

Only Barcelona have passed the ball as accurately in this year's Champions League. PSG's midfield three is incredibly versatile. Then there have Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic up front.

Unusually for a team marshalled by the imperious Thiago Silva, PSG had a few gremlins at the back in the middle part of the season. Between November and February, they conceded some avoidable goals, particularly from set-pieces.

Gary Shapcott: If it's based on winning trophies then Arsene Wenger is not even in the top 10.
