The champions league draw for the quarter finals and semi final was made in Nyon, Switzerland early Friday morning.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic the quarter-finals and semi-finals will be one-legged affairs as opposed to the traditional two.
The competition’s completion will take over 12 days in Portugal with all ties behind closed doors. The final will be held at Benfica’s Stadium of Light on August 23 in Lisbon.

It was a positive draw for those four clubs as they have managed to avoid the big-hitters.

PSG and Lyon have been the only two teams still in the competition that have not returned to action domestically, after the French top flight was finished early due to the pandemic.
