Twitter explodes as Chelsea and Real Madrid are drawn against each other in Champions League quarter-finals

Fans have actively reacted to the Champions League Round of 16

The draw for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals was held on Friday, with Chelsea setting up a mouth-watering clash with Real Madrid. Reigning European champions Chelsea progressed to the quarter-finals after their 4-1 win over Lille on aggregate in the previous round.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid produced a stunning comeback against PSG to ensure they progressed to the last eight of the competition. Notably, the teams met each other in the semi-finals of the competition last season, when Chelsea ran out 3-1 winners on aggregate.

In addition to the first quarter-final, the three other fixtures in the round were also decided. Premier League champions Manchester City have been drawn against Atletico Madrid, who beat Manchester United in the last round.

The quarter-finals are set! ✔️

Absolutely no room for complacency at this stage of the tournament, but I'd guess Liverpool/Bayern odds will just be coming down slightly #UCLdraw

Yeah, I can definitely see another all-English Champions League final.
My money is on Manchester City vs Liverpool.
