Friday's draw in Nyon, Switzerland, near Geneva, also pits London club Arsenal against Barcelona in a repeat of the 2006 final.

The other match-ups include Italy's Inter Milan up against CSKA Moscow and Lyon against fellow French side Bordeaux.

The first legs are scheduled for the end of March with the return matches taking place on April 6 and 7.
