Notes

1. Atlético Madrid were initially drawn against Bayern Munich.

1. Rayo Majadahonda played its game at Wanda Metropolitano, in Madrid instead of their regular stadium Cerro del Espino in Majadahonda because the Royal Spanish Football Federation have granted permission for a ground change to facilitate more fans at the match.
