UEFA Champions League holders Manchester United will take on 2004 winners FC Porto while Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC are matched again in the quarter-finals after the draw for the remainder of the competition was made today in Nyon.

United bid
United were beaten by Porto when the Portuguese side won the competition, with the English side aiming to became the first team to successfully defend the trophy since the UEFA Champions League was introduced in 1992/93. The winners of that tie will play the team that emerges from the tie involving Villarreal CF, the only remaining team who have never played in a UEFA Champions League final, and Arsenal FC, the club that defeated the Spanish side in the last four three seasons ago.

Rivals rematched
Chelsea and Liverpool have played in the semi-finals for three of the previous four seasons but they meet a stage earlier this time round. The last four opposition for the winners will be FC Bayern München or FC Barcelona, the two leading scorers in the competition this season.

Dates
The quarter-final ties will be played on 1/2 and 8/9 April and the semi-finals on 28/29 April and 5/6 May. The final will be held at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome on Wednesday 27 May at 20.45CET.
