Champions League holders Barcelona were handed a quarter-final tie with Arsenal in Friday's draw in Nyon.

The Catalan giants, who defeated Manchester United 2-0 in last year's final, beat the Gunners 2-1 in the 2006 showpiece and there will definitely be a French side in the last four after Lyon and Bordeaux were paired together.

Bayer Munich will face Manchester United, who beat them in the 1999 final with two last-gasp goals, while Inter Milan will be up against Russians CSKA Moscow.

Barcelona, who hammered Stuttgart 5-1 on aggregate in the last round, are a much changed team to the one which beat Arsene Wenger's side four years ago.

Their manager that night, Frank Rijkaard, and two goalscorers, Samuel Eto'o and Juliano Belletti, are no longer at the club, while Lionel Messi did not feature in the final.

Sir Alex Ferguson's United, who swept AC Milan aside in the last round, have plenty of history with Bayern. They trailed 1-0 for most of their 1999 final to Mario Basler's free-kick, but late goals from Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer earned them a stunning victory.

The German side won the tournament two years later, though, beating Valencia on penalties, having beaten United in the last eight.

Bordeaux are currently two points ahead of Lyon, the conquerors of Real Madrid, in the Ligue 1 table and won 1-0 at Lyon back in December.

Arsenal, Lyon, Bayern and Inter will play the first legs at home. The first legs will be played on March 30 or 31, with the return leg on April 6 or 7.

The winner of the Bayern-Manchester United tie will face either Lyon or Bordeaux in the last four. Inter or CSKA will take on Arsenal or Barcelona.
