Twitter reacts to the Champions League quarter-final draw

The Champions League quarter-finals will be played on April 11-12 and 18-19

With the final eight teams decided on Wednesday night, the Champions League draw for the quarter-finals was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon on Friday and it threw up some mouth-watering clashes. With eight top quality teams all deservedly going through, two giants facing each other was always going to be a possibility.

Here is the draw in full:

- Atletico Madrid vs Leicester City
- Borussia Dortmund vs AS Monaco
- Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid
- Juventus vs Barcelona

And this is how Twitter reacted to what is truly an exciting draw.

UEFA must be disappointed they couldn't draw Bayern against Arsenal in the Champions league quarter finals.

Last time Real Madrid played Bayern in Europe:

1. Xabi Alonso was at Real
2. Toni Kroos was at Bayern
3. Carlo Ancelotti managed Real

That's a really good draw! Fun match-ups, not ties we've already just seen, a couple of big guns likely to fall
