Messi and Ronaldo will not feature in the last 8 of the Champions League for the second season running.
It looks like we are witnessing the end of an era. Thankfully, there are a host of stars ready to light up the competition this season.
This includes Chelsea's Kai Havertz and Real Madrid's Vinicius JR, as well as veteran strikers such as Karim Benzema and Robert Lewandowski, who provided hat-tricks in the Round of 16.
Good morning!
Europe's elite competitions are coming to a close, with 5 British teams still involved, join us for LIVE coverage of the draws.
In the Quarter-Finals, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City will all be hoping to avoid each other, and no one will want to draw European giants like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Chelsea will be looking to win back to back Champions League's this season, with Man City seeking revenge for last season's final loss.
Manchester United were the only British team to be knocked out in the previous round, losing 1-0 at home to Atletico in the second leg, after fighting for a 1-1 draw away from home.
In the Europa League, West Ham and Rangers will be looking to go all the way, but could face tough opposition such as FC Barcelona, who they will be hoping to avoid.
This draw also decides all clubs routes to the final, and they will be looking on, hoping to see their team get the more favourable side, which was seen as key in Chelsea winning the competition last season.
The draw begins at 11AM GMT, and takes place at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
