Arsenal vs. FC Bayern Munich

Arsenal have again drawn the team that's haunted their Champions League campaigns for years: Bayern Munich.

Mikel Arteta's side has shown that it's a new-look Arsenal, unafraid of any team it faces. Additionally, Bayern haven't looked at their best in league play, sitting 10 points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

This will give Arsenal the confidence they need to blast their way to the semifinals.

Prediction: Arsenal

- Alex Windley

There's a narrative built into this one courtesy of Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane. While at Tottenham Hotspur, he scored 14 goals in 17 Premier League appearances against the Gunners, Spurs' hated north London rivals.

The other angle is Kane's continued hunt for a major trophy, which hasn't gone brilliantly so far this season. The Champions League looks like the only silverware left in play, and Arsenal fans will be thrilled if they can stop the English goal machine from getting a sniff.

But what goes for Manchester City goes for Arsenal, too. A grueling Premier League campaign might be too much for a young Gunners side to balance with a Champions League tilt.

With Bayern behind Bayer Leverkusen for the Bundesliga title, European glory is the last likely opportunity to make the best of a bad season.

Bayern will reach the semifinal with a narrow aggregate win.

Prediction: Bayern Munich

- Leo Collis

Welcome back to north London, Harry Kane.

Bayern aren't at the peak of their powers, and the recent turmoil surrounding manager Thomas Tuchel hasn't helped matters.

But this is a case where experience may provide the key factor. Arsenal's young and exciting squad has yet to face a test like this in European competition and, as Leo mentioned, an exhausting chase for the Premier League title may end up being a bridge too far for the Gunners.

One thing is for certain: Tottenham fans will be cheering for their former talisman in this one.

Real Madrid vs. Manchester City

Another exciting matchup between two powerhouse teams awaits.

Real Madrid and Manchester City always bring the entertainment when they meet in the Champions League.

Though City may not be at their 2022/23 best, they're still one of the top teams in Europe. Yes, one can never fully count out Real Madrid, but Pep Guardiola's side should be able to thwart any Champions League magic Los Blancos have up their sleeves.

Prediction: Manchester City

- Alex Windley

This is surely the most anticipated clash of the quarterfinal stage, pitting the reigning champions against the most decorated team in the competition's history.

With Real pulling away in the La Liga title race and City battling in a triple-headed duel for the Premier League, the club from Spain's capital should be fresher coming into the contest and more prepared to tackle two legs.

City will keep it close, and Erling Haaland will give a patched-up Los Blancos rearguard fits, but Real should prevail as an intense campaign proves too much for the English side.

Prediction: Real Madrid

- Leo Collis

As Alex mentioned, there is a certain magic whenever Real Madrid take the pitch in the Champions League, and Jude Bellingham might be ready to take the mantle from Kevin De Bruyne as the best midfielder in the world.

But City has the X-factor that is Erling Haaland and a clinical No. 9 might be the difference between victory and defeat in a close tie.

City won't fear facing Madrid and the defending champions have the valuable experience of beating Los Blancos in the semifinals last year.

Prediction: Manchester City

Atlético De Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund

Atlético Madrid managed to squirm their way past one of the statistically best teams in Europe this season with a round-of-16 victory over last year's finalists, Inter Milan.

With Diego Simeone on the sidelines for Los Colchoneros, they look primed for another dark-horse run to the final.

Prediction: Atlético Madrid

- Alex Windley

A battle between the competition's underdogs could be feisty, and Diego Simeone will make sure that's the case.

Both clubs will go hell for leather in this tie, with the Champions League their best chance to grab silverware this season. This will arguably come down to mentality, and it's hard to look past Simeone's charges on that score.

A couple of 1-0 wins in each leg will do it for Atléti.

Prediction: Atlético Madrid

- Leo Collis

Consider this a clean sweep for Atléti predictions.

You know what you're going to get in a match against a Simeone side: It's going to be nasty, it's going to be intense, and you're going to be physically spent after it.

It's hard to see Dortmund finding a way to win this one.

Prediction: Atlético Madrid

- Lucky Ngamwajasat

Paris Saint-Germain vs. FC Barcelona

If reports about Kylian Mbappé's inevitable move to Real Madrid are true, then this could be Paris-Saint Germain's last tangible opportunity to win the Champions League.

It won't be easy, though.

With a revitalized Barcelona looking to give manager Xavi the best possible send-off before he steps down in the summer, the Blaugrana will be a formidable opponent.

Give Barca the slight edge in this tie.

Prediction: FC Barcelona

- Alex Windley

Despite both clubs perhaps losing some of their luster in the last couple of years, this should be an interesting clash of styles that could go down to the wire.

With Kylian Mbappé reportedly heading to Real Madrid next season, he'll want to prove himself to his future employers by taking down their fierce domestic rivals—and keep PSG in the hunt for a long-elusive UCL title.

But with the La Liga title slowly loosening from the Blaugrana's grasp and Xavi seeking one more trophy to add to his resume before he departs in the summer, Barcelona will throw everything at the Ligue 1 side.

Give Barca the slight edge here, but don't be surprised if it comes down to a penalty shootout.

Prediction: FC Barcelona

- Leo Collis

This is a coin flip.

Barcelona is a young squad with Robert Lewandowski still capable of moments of pure brilliance while leading the line.

However, the Catalan side is in the midst of an injury crisis and relying on 16-year-old Lamine Yamal seems like too much too soon at this stage in his career.

Not surprisingly, the deciding factor might be Mbappé. His otherworldly pace is tailor-made to decimate Xavi's high-defensive line.

Prediction: PSG
