Defending champion, Barcelona was today handed a tough quarter final opponent in the UEFA champions league as she was drawn against Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona who Wednesday saw off Arsenal by 5-1 aggregate will play home first.
Star studded PSG who is still basking in the euphoria of her victory over Chelsea would face Kelechi Iheanacho’s Manchester City, while Bayern would slug it out with lowly rated Portuguese side Benfica.
It would be Wolfsburg versus Real Madrid in the last quarter final pairing.
Atletico manager, Diego Simeone said moments after the draw that his side would be facing the world’s best in Barcelona, even as he added that it would be an exciting quarter final.
Atletico won 2-1 on aggregate when both sides met at this same stage of the competition in the 2013-2014 season.
