Munich - These teams are top class!
The quarter-final matches in the Champions League will be drawn on Friday (12 p.m., Sky) at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon.
In contrast to the previous rounds, there are no longer any restrictions.
This means: Bayern could face Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund in the round of the last eight.
Other Munich opponents are the Spanish trio Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, defending champions Manchester City and Arsenal FC from England as well as France's top club Paris Saint-Germain.
In the last three seasons, Bayern were eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel (50): “Now you also need luck.”
