Champions League Draw Sets Up Possible Arsenal vs. Manchester City Semi-Final

Arsenal will face Manchester City in the semi-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League if both teams progress that far.

The Gunners were paired with Bayern Munich in the quarter-final draw on Friday. Bayern have beaten Arsenal 5-1 in each of their past three UCL meetings.

Meanwhile, City were handed a quarter-final clash with Real Madrid. That will be a replay of last season's semi-final, which Pep Guardiola's men won 5-1 on aggregate.

On the other half of the draw, Paris Saint-Germain will take on Barcelona, with the winners facing either Atletico Madrid or Borussia Dortmund in the semis.
