By Tom Gott
It's crunch time in the Champions League after Friday's quarter-final draw.
Chelsea hero John Obi Mikel had the honour of drawing the ties this time around, and the former midfielder did not disappoint as he offered up some enticing affairs.
Here's how social media reacted to the draw.
Arsenal vs Bayern Munich
The first tie out of the hat saw Arsenal rewarded with a huge battle with Bayern Munich.
The Gunners have lost their last three games against Bayern, each by a 5-1 scoreline, but fans of Mikel Arteta's side are feeling slightly more confident this time around.
Arsenal Vs Bayern. Then, now, forever.

Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
The two underdogs of the round, Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund both now have excellent chances of advancing to the final four.
However, underestimate this tie at your peril. With a favourable route to the final on this side of the bracket, this match could hardly be more important.

some crazy storylines cooking
Real Madrid vs Manchester City
Here we are. Two behemoths of the European game.
We watched Real Madrid take on Manchester City last season in the semi-final. A 1-1 draw in the first leg set up a fascinating return fixture but Pep Guardiola's side ended the excitement with an emphatic 4-0 win to book their place in the final.
Time for revenge?

PSG vs Barcelona
The feud between PSG and Barcelona lives on.
Whether triggering release clauses, publicly fighting over finances, luring the greatest player of all time away or producing the single-biggest comeback in the history of UEFA competitions, there's always something to enjoy when these two fight.
Now, there's the added juice of Luis Enrique's return to his former side. Could you ask for any more?

Mbappe will see the quality in this team and make the decision to join Barcelona in the summer.
