Lyon have been offered the chance to gain revenge on PSV Eindhoven after they were drawn with the Dutch club in the Champions' League round of 16.
The French champions were knocked out by Guus Hiddink's team at the quarter-final stage last term, but felt hard done by with the result.
The first leg at the Stade Gerland finished 1-1, with Philippe Cocu scoring an equaliser from the visitors' first attack late on.
Sidney Govou had earlier missed a huge chance to make it 2-0 to Lyon.
That miss proved costly as the second leg also finished 1-1. Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas was furious that his side were not awarded an extra-time penalty in Eindhoven when Nilmar was taken out by PSV 'keeper Gomes.
PSV duly went on to win the penalty shootout, before narrowly losing to AC Milan in the semi-final. This year Lyon will play the away leg first after winning their group.
Full draw:
Chelsea v Barcelona
Real Madrid v Arsenal
Werder Bremen v Juventus
Bayern Munich v AC Milan
PSV Eindhoven v LYON
Ajax v Inter Milan
Benfica v Liverpool
Rangers v Villarreal
(Ties to be played 21/22 February and 7/8 March)
