Alejandro Moreno debates Arsenal's chances of winning the Champions League. (1:50)
The quarterfinals of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League are now set. After a thrilling round of 16 that saw the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City tumble out of the competition, eight teams remain in the quest for European glory.
Here's everything you need to know about the next Champions League rounds.
Sporting CP vs. Arsenal (3 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. BST) -- Arsenal lead 1-0 after first leg
Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich (3 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. BST) -- Bayern lead 2-1 after first leg
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Liverpool (3 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. BST) -- PSG lead 2-0 after first leg
Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid (3 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. BST) -- Atletico Madrid lead 2-0 after first leg
The bottom half of the bracket (coined the Blue Path by UEFA) has broken nicely for Arsenal, who will be heavily favored against Sporting in the quarterfinals. Barcelona could await in the semifinals, but they will have to top LaLiga rivals Atlético Madrid first.
The top half (aka the Silver Path), meanwhile, is packed with heavyweight clubs. Real Madrid knocked Manchester City out of the Champions League for the third straight season, and they will face Bayern Munich in the quarters. Liverpool cruised past Galatasaray in the second leg to win 4-1 on aggregate, but they will face tough opposition in the form of reigning champions PSG after the French side romped past Chelsea.
Once again, we're poised for an exhilarating conclusion to the knockout rounds.
