The first-leg games are scheduled for March 21-22, with the return games the following week.

The semifinals are in April, with the winner between Lyon and Chelsea to meet Roma or Barcelona. PSG or Wolfsburg will be at home first in the semifinals against Bayern or Arsenal.

The final is scheduled for June 3 at PSV Eindhoven’s stadium.
