The Champions League quarter-final draw was held in Nyon on Friday and it threw up some interesting fixtures. With Champions League final ambassador Andriy Shevchenko making the draw, fans looked on with bated breath to see who they would face in the final eight.
It will be a repeat of last season's final as Real Madrid take on Juventus again while Barcelona probably received a more favourable draw, taking on Serie A side AS Roma who have reached their first quarter-final since 2008.
Meanwhile, Manchester City and Liverpool will not have far to travel with the two teams drawn against each other.
Here's how Twitter reacted to the draw.

I think it is a shame that Manchester City have been drawn to play Liverpool. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich & Manchester City all kept apart until SF. UEFA have done it again.

Poor Buffon. His dream of winning the UCL before retiring is shattered once again. Ronaldo may get a hatrick this time. #UCLdraw

We’ve won the Champions League 5 times and Man City have probably entered the competition 5 times. Levels.

Man City have won just one of their last 30 games at Anfield, so first-leg will be key..
