Clubs from around Europe have been reacting to their draws in the UEFA Champions League, with Paris Saint Germain boss Carlo Ancelotti plotting the downfall of Barcelona.

Elsewhere, Bayern Munich will take on Juventus in the two legs of their quarter-final between two of Europe's historic heavyweights. "They have real calibre," said Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes. "Juventus are a really tough opponent. "I know them very well, these will be big nights. At the moment, they are the best team in Italy, very strong in defence and with plenty of quality in attack." Juve are back in the quarter-finals for the first time in seven years and club director Pavel Nedved said: "After so much suffering we're finally back among Europe's elite and for this we are happy and proud. "We'll be going into this tie with an open mind and with humility but knowing that we will be able to rely on our own qualities." Champions League debutants Malaga have been handed the daunting challenge of facing Borussia Dortmund, who are among the favourites to win the competition. But Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watze is wary about complacency, as he said: "There are no easy matches in the quarter-finals. "We'd never underestimate Malaga, especially as they knocked Porto out with a mature performance. We haven't lost any games in the Champions League, I hope it stays that way."
