Who can Real Madrid face in the Champions League quarter finals?

In the Round of 16, things are a little more restricted, with group winners placed against the teams who came second. Also, two teams from the same country cannot face each other.

However, once we get past the Round of 16, there are no restrictions on who can face who, meaning that Barcelona can be drawn, home or away, against any team left in the competition.
