Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea will face holders Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. Pep Guardiola faces his former club as Manchester City play six-time winners Bayern Munich. Inter Milan face Benfica and Serie A champions AC Milan take on current leaders Napoli.<\/p>\n

If Chelsea and Manchester City get through, they will meet in an all-Premier League semi-final while AC Milan or Napoli will face Inter Milan or Benfica in the other semi-final.<\/p>\n

The first legs of the quarter-finals take place on April 11-12, with the return games on 18-19 April. The first legs of the semi-finals will be on May 9-10, and the second legs on May 16-17.<\/p>\n

The Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, will host the final on June 10. It is the third successive season Chelsea and Real Madrid, the record 14-time winners, have met in the competition.<\/p>\n

Chelsea beat Real in the semi-finals on their way to winning the trophy in 2020-21 before losing 5-4 on aggregate to the Spanish giants last season in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

Manchester City and Bayern Munich have not met competitively since 2014 when Guardiola was in charge of the German club. Meanwhile, Manchester United will meet record six-time winners Sevilla in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.<\/p>\n

Should they advance, Erik ten Hag\u2019s side will face either Juventus \u2014 whose squad includes former United midfielder Paul Pogba \u2014 or Arsenal\u2019s conquerors Sporting Lisbon in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

In the other last-eight ties, Roma face Feyenoord and Bayer Leverkusen meet Union Saint-Gilloise. West Ham will meet Gent in the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League.<\/p>\n

It will be the first meeting between the sides since the 1964-65 Cup Winners\u2019 Cup, which West Ham went on to win. If they defeat their Belgian opponents, West Ham face AZ Alkmaar or Anderlecht in the semi-finals. Lech Poznan take on Fiorentina and Basel play Nice in the other ties.<\/p>\n

The first legs of both competitions take place on April 13, with the return games on April 20. The semi-finals are scheduled to be played on May 11 and 18.<\/p>\n

Sevilla are recent serial winners of the Europa League, having won all of their six titles since 2006 and they defeated the Red Devils in the semi-finals on their way to winning it in 2020.<\/p>\n

Their squad includes Brazil defender Alex Telles, who is on loan from United. \u201cSevilla are very experienced in the Europa League and have won it so many times,\u201d said United boss Ten Hag. \u201cWe have to be aware of it.\u201d Ten Hag\u2019s side, who won last month\u2019s Carabao Cup, are also still in the FA Cup and host Fulham in the quarter-finals of that competition on Sunday.<\/p>\n
