The draws for the quarter-finals for the Champions League will be staged today at 11:00 GMT, before the semi-final and a final 'draw' to see which is the 'home side' for administrative reasons.

There are no seedings or country protection so two clubs still in the Champions League from the same country could face each other.

Champions League quarter-finalists: Atletico Madrid (Spain), Bayern Munich (Germany), Benfica (Portugal), Chelsea (England), Liverpool (England), Manchester City (England), Real Madrid (Spain), Villarreal (Spain).
 

The first team drawn in each fixture play their home match first with the first legs on 5 and 6 April before the second legs on 12 and 13 April.

The semi-finals will have the first legs on 26 and 27 April and the second legs on 3 and 4 May.

The Stade de France in Paris will host the final on Saturday, May 28 after it was moved from St Petersburg after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

When is the Europa League draw?

Rangers moved into the quarter-finals thanks to a 4-2 aggregate win over Red Star Belgrade of Serbia, winning 3-0 at Ibrox and then losing the away leg 2-1 on Thursday.

West Ham joined Rangers in the draw with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Sevilla with Ukrainian Andriy Yarmolenko grabbing the winning goal in extra time.

Just like above, the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final draw will all take place on Friday from 12:30 GMT, after the Champions League draws have been concluded.

Again, there are no seedings and no country restrictions. The two-legged quarter-finals will take place on 7 and 14 April, the semi-finals are on 28 April and 5 May with the final in Sevilla's Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium on Wednesday, 18 May.

Europa League quarter-finalists: Atalanta (Italy), Barcelona (Spain), Braga (Portugal), Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany), Lyon (France), Rangers (Scotland), RB Leipzig (Germany), West Ham (England).
