Arsenal will seek to avenge their 2006 Champions League final defeat to Barcelona when the teams meet again in the quarterfinals of this year’s competition.
The north London team was today drawn to face the heavily favored defending champions from Spain, with the winner potentially facing Inter Milan.
The draw also set up a quarterfinal between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, which is a repeat of the 1999 final that United won with two late goals.
The other quarterfinal features an all-French matchup between Lyon and Bordeaux.
UEFA also made the semifinal draw, with the winner of Arsenal-Barcelona to face either Inter Milan or CSKA Moscow.
The quarterfinal games will be played March 30 and 31, with the return legs on April 6 and 7. The semifinals are April 20 and 21 and 27 and 28.
