UEFA Champions League 2016 Draw, Results: Barcelona to face Atlético Madrid in quarterfinals

The road to the UEFA Champions League Final in Milan will not be an easy one for the trophy holders.

The European Federation took the time on Friday to draw the last eight teams remaining in the competition into four fascinating quarterfinal match-ups. But perhaps the team with the toughest game is the defending champion Barcelona, who have to go through their domestic rivals Atlético Madrid in order to reach the semifinals.

This has become a true rivalry since the 2013/14 season, when both teams met six times and the Colchoneros did not lose once.
