Any subplots to look out for?

There are plenty of potential subplots that could unfold based on the draw. If Barcelona and Juventus are drawn against each other, it will pit great rivals Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo against each other.

A Manchester City v Liverpool quarter-final will see the Premier League's two title contenders do battle, while Liverpool v Manchester United would see one of England's biggest rivalries played out on the European stage.

Former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola could return to the Camp Nou if Manchester City are drawn against the Spanish champions.
