The Premier League champions progressed to the last eight by beating Spanish title-chasers Sevilla 3-2 on aggregate.

Leicester will play the first leg against last year’s beaten finalists away from home on 11 or 12 April, with the return leg on 18 or 19 April.

Holders Real Madrid face Bayern Munich, while Barcelona take on Juventus and Borussia Dortmund play Monaco.

Atletico are the only side left in the quarter-finals who Leicester has previously played, but the Foxes have not beaten the Spaniards in their four previous meetings.

Diego Simeone’s side were beaten by neighbours Real Madrid on penalties in last season’s Champions League final.

The 2014 Spanish champions are fourth in La Liga this season, five points adrift of third-placed Sevilla.

Elsewhere, Manchester United have been drawn against Belgian leaders Anderlecht in the Europa League quarter-finals.

United, considered the favourites by many bookmakers, are the only British club left in Europe’s secondary club competition.

Jose Mourinho’s team edged past Russian’s FC Rostov with a 2-1 aggregate in the last 16.

French side Lyon play Besiktas, Dutch giants Ajax meet German team Schalke, while Celta Vigo face Belgium’s Genk.

The first legs are set to take place on Thursday, 13 April and the return games will follow a week later.
