Pep Guardiola will return to face his former club Barcelona after the draw for the Champions League semifinals on Friday paired the Catalans with Bayern Munich while holders Real Madrid were drawn against Juventus.
Barcelona, who are in the last four for the seventh time in eight seasons, will be at home to the Bundesliga side in the first leg on May 6 with the return at the Allianz Arena the following week.
Guardiola won the European Cup as a player with Barcelona in 1992 and then won 14 trophies in four seasons as coach, including the Champions League in 2009 and 2011.
He had made way for Tito Vilanova by the time Barca were destroyed 7-0 on aggregate by Bayern in the semifinals in 2013, when the German giants went on to win the trophy.
Meanwhile, Madrid must go to Italy for the first leg of their tie against Serie A leaders Juventus as they look to become the first club to retain the trophy in the Champions League era.
The tie is a repeat of the 1998 final, which Madrid won 1-0 in Amsterdam, and the Spanish side will be widely fancied to come out on top on this occasion too.
The 10-time European champions beat city rivals Atletico Madrid in a tense quarterfinal despite being without the injured Luka Modric, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema, although coach Carlo Ancelotti is confident that at least the latter two will be fit in time for the semis.
Europa League
The draw for the semifinals of the Europa League kept alive the possibility of an all-Italian final as Serie A sides Napoli and Fiorentina avoided each other.
Rafa Benitez's Napoli will take on Dnipro of Ukraine while Fiorentina will face holders Sevilla in the semifinals, with the first legs to be played on Thursday, May 7 and the second legs on Thursday, May 14.
Coach Rafa Benitez is looking to win yet another European trophy having led Valencia to the UEFA Cup in 2004 before winning the Champions League with Liverpool a year later and then the Europa League with Chelsea in 2013.
