The UEFA Champions League semifinal draw took place at the UEFA Headquarter in Nyon, Switzerland moments ago.

The semifinal pairings were determined by an open draw in which no teams were seeded and clubs from the same national association could be drawn against each other. The draw was conducted by Gianni Infantino, General Secretary, UEFA and former Germany international Karl-Heinz Riedle who happens to be the 2014-15 UEFA Champions League Final Ambassador.

FC Barcelona will host German giants FC Bayern Munich, while Juventus will clash with Real Madrid in the second semifinal.

The semifinal matches first leg will be played on May 5/6 while the second leg is scheduled for May 12/13. The final will take place at the Olympiastadion Berlin on June 6.
