Real Madrid, Juventus, Barcelona, Chelsea and Bayern Munich are all on the same side of the draw as single-leg quarterfinal matches kick off from Aug. 12-15 without fans in Portugal.
GENEVA — All five former Champions League winners were put into the same half of the draw on Friday, setting up a possible semifinal pairing between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Real Madrid, Juventus, Barcelona, Chelsea and Bayern Munich — who have combined to win 26 European Cups — will whittle down one side of the draw to reach the final on Aug.23 at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon.
The other side will see three-time finalist Atlético Madrid face Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain meet Atalanta. Leipzig and Atalanta are newcomers to this stage.
The single-leg quarterfinal matches will be played on four straight evenings from Aug.12-15 to start a mini-tournament without fans in Portugal. The semifinals are scheduled for Aug.17-18.
Four quarterfinalists are still to be decided, all involving the former champions. Juventus trails Lyon 1-0 ahead of their round of 16 meeting next month in Turin.
