Chelsea face Benfica in Champions League quarters

16 March 2012 11:17

Chelsea will face Benfica in the quarter-finals of the Champions League - but could face reigning European champions Barcelona in the semi-finals.

England's last remaining club in Europe will face Portuguese side Benfica for the first time in European competition, with the second leg at Stamford Bridge.

Should they progress, Chelsea would face the winners of the quarter-final between AC Milan and Barcelona.

In the other quarter-finals, Real Madrid were drawn against Cypriot side APOEL Nicosia while Marseille will take on Bayern Munich.

The draw also means there is a good chance of a mouthwatering all-Spanish final between Real and Barcelona.
