UEFA Champions League: when is quarter-final draw? Who Arsenal will face in last eight

It's been a historic week for the Gunners as they celebrate reaching the final eight of the UEFA Champions League competition for the first time since 2010.

A dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Porto saw Mikel Arteta's side end their apparent curse of only reaching the round of 16 with David Raya pulling off two match-winning saves to send the Emirates into ecstasy and his team through to the quarter-finals of Europe's most elite competition.

A first-half goal from Leandro Trossard ensured all was even on aggregate but the teams could not be separated after 120 minutes of play, with all attention then coming on the goalkeepers. The Spanish glovesman then stepped up to the mark, silencing many of his critics as he saved two attempts from the Primeira Liga side.

Now, Arsenal must await their fate to find out who they will take on in the next round of the tournament as the quarter-final draw takes place soon.
