UEFA insists this week’s Champions League quarter-final ties will go ahead as scheduled amid an Islamic State terror threat.

Arsenal’s Ashburton Grove is due to host the first leg of the Gunners’ last-eight tie against Bayern Munich this evening, while Manchester City are travelling to Real Madrid.

A media outlet linked to the terror group has issued a threat concerning all four of this week’s ties, and European football’s governing body Uefa has now issued a statement on the matter.
