Manchester United has been presented with what might be their biggest test of the season given their present form as they have been paired alongside current European Champion, Bayern Munich.
Manchester United are experiencing their worst season ever in the club's history and currently sit seventh on the Premier League table with 48points - won 14 games, drawn 6 and lost 9 - eighteen points behind table toppers chelsea and twelve away from Manchester City who sits 4th, the last champions league slot meaning the stand a slim chance of making it to the to Europe next season.
However a sublime show against Olympiakos in the round of 16 second leg fixture in-which they overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg to win and qualify to the quarter final stage on 3-2 aggregate score leaves a green light at the end of the tunnel.
Bayern on the other hand are having a wonderful run of form this season as they currently top the German Bundesliga table with 71points, 23points
clear of second place Borussia Dortmund on 48points. The Balvarians have lost only once this season, having lost to Manchester City in the last group stage match.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid will be aiming to revenge their ouster in the hands of last season's finalist Borussia Dortmund, while Premier League other representative, Chelsea will face Ligue 1 money bag, Paris Saint-Germain as the French outfit aim to improve on last year's run to the last eight.
The final fixture sees Barcelona hosting their arch rival Atletico Madrid, which will be a particularly interesting fixture given Diego Simeone's men caused the Catalans all kinds of trouble in their domestic dust-ups in the Supercopa de Espana and La Liga earlier this season.
The first leg fixtures will be played on April 1 and 2, with the return legs scheduled for April 8 and 9.
The draw for the semi-finals will be held on April 11, while the final at Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on May 24.
