The Gunners cruised into their second successive quarter-final with a 9-3 aggregate win over PSV Eindhoven at the last-16 stage, a result owing much to their 7-1 first leg win. Meanwhile, the holders beat their city rivals Atletico Madrid on penalties to set up a blockbuster tie next month.

The Champions League quarterfinals bracket was set Wednesday, and it sends Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain toward more English teams standing in their path of the title.
