ARSENAL have drawn Barcelona in the pick of the Champions League quarter-final draws.

Arsene Wenger's side will have to overcome Lionel Messi and Co if they are to reach the semi-finals of the competition for the second year in a row.

The match is a repeat of the 2006 final, which the Spanish giants won 2-1.

Manchester United have been paired with Bayern Munich, in a rematch of the dramatic 1999 final, won by Sir Alex Ferguson's men.

In the two other quarter-finals, Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan will face CSKA Moscow, while French sides Lyon and Bordeaux will do battle.

The winners of Arsenal v Barcelona will play whoever comes out on top in the Inter v CSKA match in the semi-final.

If United beat Bayern, they will play either Lyon or Bordeaux in the final four.
