That left them in front of a two -legged draw against Bayern Munich or 15 times real winners, and it was the Spanish giants who left the hat.
Instead, Bayern faces Celtic, while AC Milan avoided a tie against Juventus, but newcomers to Brest received a complicated draw all French against the improvement of the PSG.
The city was knocked out by Real last season in the quarterfinal stage. The sides attracted 3-3 in the first leg in Madrid and 1-1 in the Etihad, before Real won 4-3 in penalties.
The two -legged ties will be held in the weeks of February 11 and February 18.
