Champions League quarter final draw: Liverpool to face Manchester City and Juventus to play Real Madrid

The UEFA Champions League quarter final draw is out and Liverpool will be squaring up against local rivals Manchester City in an all-English while defending champions Real Madrid will play Juventus in a repeat of last year's final after the draw in Switzerland on Friday.

Barcelona -- the first team to emerge from the draw -- play Serie A side Roma while Sevilla, who knocked out Manchester United to reach the quarterfinals of the competition for the first time, face Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich for a place in the last four.

The draw means Liverpool, who eased past Porto to reach this stage of the competition, play a domestic rival for the seventh time in European competition.

They were thrashed 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium in September but inflicted City's only Premier League defeat of the season so far in a 4-3 thriller at Anfield -- where City have won just once in their last 30 visits.

Juventus have the chance to gain revenge on Real, who beat them 4-1 in last season's Champions League final in Cardiff.

Bayern, meanwhile, have been knocked out of the Champions League by a team from Spain in the last four seasons.

The first legs between Sevilla and Barcelona and Juventus and Real Madrid will take place on Tuesday April 3, while the tie between Barcelona vs. Roma and Liverpool vs. Manchester City will take place on Wednesday April 4.

The second legs see Manchester City and Roma play their home games on April 10, with Bayern and Real in action on April 11.

The Champions League final takes place in Kiev on May 26.
