The draw for the quarter-finals, semi-final and final of the 2021/22 Champions League will all be made in a single event.
The eight remaining teams will find out their fate for the rest of Europe’s top continental club competition in Nyon, Switzerland.
It is at this stage that the draw opens up, with no seeding or country protection – that means that any of the eight teams can be drawn against one another.
The final of the competition will be held at the Stade de France in the suburbs of Paris after the Russian city of St Petersburg was stripped of hosting rights, but the “home” team for the game will be determined “for procedural reasons”.
Here’s everything you need to know:
