Elsewhere, Liverpool have landed Porto in the last eight and Juventus  will be looking for more magic from Cristiano Ronaldo against Ajax.There  was a good chance, with four sides still in the competition, that an  all-English affair would be put in place. <img src="http://i.imgur.com/rZUE0jd.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> City and Spurs came out of the hat together and will need no   introduction to one another as they prepare to lock horns in pursuit of   European glory. Pep Guardiola is looking to lead the Blues to a first Champions  League  crown, having previously claimed the trophy on two occasions with   Barcelona. The mercurial talents of Messi helped him to those successes and the   Argentine will be looking for the fifth triumph of his remarkable career   in 2019.That quest must go through Old Trafford after seeing Barca  paired with United. The Red Devils had initially been pencilled in to travel to Camp Nou for  the first leg of a heavyweight contest, but  that will now be staged in  Manchester due to the need for a fixture swap.With City also drawn  second in their meeting with Spurs, two near  neighbours cannot be at  home on the same night or on back-to-back  evenings. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will, therefore, welcome Messi and Co to Old   Trafford before looking to finish the job and book a semi-final berth in   Catalunya – with the former United striker returning to the scene of   his 1999 Treble-winning exploits. Liverpool will also be looking to reach that stage having suffered  final heartache against Real Madrid last season.The Reds overcame Bayern  Munich in the last 16 and will be feeling confident heading into a  two-legged tie with Porto. Juventus, meanwhile, know that they can call upon the services of   five-time winner Ronaldo in their ongoing pursuit of a first European   Cup win since 1996. Their opponents the last time they lifted an iconic piece of  silverware  were Ajax – who they defeated on penalties at the Stadio  Olimpico in  Rome.The Dutch giants have been something of a surprise package in this   season’s competition, with the notable scalp of Real Madrid – fresh  from  three successive triumphs – claimed in the previous round. While his former employers proved to be no match for the men from  Amsterdam,  Ronaldo will be seeking to add to the hat-tricks heroics  which saw him single-handedly down Atletico Madrid  when Juve are  reunited with Eredivisie opponents. If the Portuguese can inspire more progress for the Bianconeri, there   will be no meeting for him with eternal rival Messi in the  semi-finals.The draw for that stage has already determined that the  victors in  Juve’s meeting with Ajax will take on Tottenham or  Manchester City in  the last four. That leaves Manchester United or Barcelona to take on Liverpool or   Porto in the second semi, with a place in a Madrid showpiece at Wanda   Metropolitano on June 1 up for grabs.                    Champions League quarter-final draw in full:   Ajax vs Juventus Liverpool vs Porto Tottenham vs Man City Man Utd vs Barcelona</blockquote>
