How does the draw work?

The quarter-final and semi-final draws are both ‘open,’ which means that, unlike the last-16 draw, anyone can face any team in both stages, regardless of country of origin or previous fixtures this season.

Each quarter-final tie will be assigned a number between one and four, and those four balls will be used to draw the semi-final draw, which will follow the last-eight pairings.

Mikael Silvestre a former Manchester United and France international conducted the draws along with Uefa deputy secretary Giorgio Marchetti.
