Kylian Mbappé and his Paris Saint-Germain squad will face Barcelona, in what could be his final season with the French team as sources suggest a move to Barcelona's rivals, Real Madrid, this summer. Elsewhere, Arsenal will meet Bayern Munich, renewing their familiar rivalry as Bayern has previously eliminated them from the competition in 2013, 2014, and 2017.
UEFA has sanctioned Bayern Munich banning their fans from attending the match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium due to fan misconduct during their round-of-16 first-leg match versus Lazio in Rome.
