The Champions League quarter finals will see Ronaldo's Juventus play Dutch champions Ajax

Italian champions Juventus will be travelling to the Netherlands on 9 April for the first leg of their Champions League quarter final against Ajax.

The two teams made impressive comebacks in the round of 16 to dispose of the two Spanish teams from Madrid – Real and Atletico.

But the quarter final draws today, will also see the last Spanish team in the competition, Barcelona, meet Manchester United.

Frenkie de Jong, Ajax midfielder: "When I was around 10–12 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo was already one of the best players in the world. So it is nice that I will now face him for real."#UCLdraw pic.twitter.com/6ckkmTeAlv

Both teams made it through at the expense of French teams Lyon and Paris St Germain, respectively.

The other quarter final match is an all-British affair between Tottenham and Manchester City, after both teams eliminated German opposition – Dortmund and Schalke 04 – in the round of 16.

The last match will see Liverpool of England meet Porto of Portugal.

The first legs will be played on 9 April, with the return matches to be held on 16 April.
