Like in the first two editions of the competition, the knockout event will be played at the Colovray stadium opposite UEFA headquarters. Chelsea completed the lineup on Wednesday, overcoming Ajax 1-0 thanks to a goal from a member of last season's triumphant squad, Kyle Scott.
The London club will continue their defence of the title against Anderlecht, the only one of the semi-finalists to have come through the Domestic Champions path. Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, who met in the group stage, contest the other last-four tie.
It will be Madrid and Anderlecht's second experience of the semi-finals: the former lost 4-0 against Benfica in 2014, while the latter succumbed 3-1 to Shakhtar Donetsk last year.
