Manchester United will face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of this year's Champions League, a repeat of the 1999 final.

And Arsenal will take on tournament favourites and holders Barcelona in the last eight after Friday's draw in Nyon.

United beat Bayern in dramatic fashion at the Nou Camp 11 years ago, scoring twice in the dying minutes to complete an historic treble.

Alex Ferguson's side thrashed AC Milan in the previous round and will be confident of progressing to the semi-finals, where they will face the winner of the all-French clash between Lyon and Bordeaux.

United will be at home in the second leg, but Arsenal are at home first to Barcelona.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will no doubt have wanted to avoid Barca in the draw, but Cesc Fabregas will relish playing against his former club, with whom he is often linked with a return.

The winner of that tie will face either Inter Milan - who knocked out Chelsea earlier this week - or CSKA Moscow in the semi-finals.

The first leg of the quarter-finals will be played on 30 or 31 March, with the return leg on 6 or 7 April.

  • Arsenal v Barcelona
