ANKARA

Erling Haaland-led Manchester City will face Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.

The Champions League quarterfinal and semifinal draws were made in Switzerland’s Nyon.

Earlier this week, England’s Manchester City hammered Germany’s RB Leipzig 7-0 to bag the last eight ticket, while Bayern Munich, the six-time Champions League winners, eliminated France’s Paris Saint-Germain, winning the last 16 tie 3-0 on aggregate.

Pep Guardiola, who has been coaching Man City since 2016, will face his ex-club Bayern Munich next month.

The quarterfinals’ first legs will be played on April 11-12, with their return matches scheduled for April 18-19.

Guardiola, 52, was the head coach of Bayern Munich from 2013 to 2016.

Bayern Munich last won the Champions League in 2020. Manchester City have never won the title but played the final in 2021.

Road to Istanbul

The semifinals will be played on May 9-10 and 16-17.

The 2023 Champions League final will be on June 10 at Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympic Stadium, which previously hosted the 2005 final in which Liverpool came back against AC Milan to claim Europe’s top-tier club trophy.
