Three draws will technically take place on Friday 17 March; the quarter finals, the semi finals - knitting together quarter final ties - and a final draw to decide the 'home' side in the final for administrative purposes.

Who host UEFA's draws?

UEFA draws are often hosted by journalist Pedro Pinto, who has worked for CNN International and the founder and CEO of sports communications agency Empower Sports. He was formerly the chief of press at UEFA, working alongside then president Michel Platini.

Before the balls start spinning, proceedings are generally thrown over to Giorgio Marchetti. The Italian is a long-standing UEFA official and presides over each draw alongside a former star of the European game.
