The last, eighth participant in the Euroleague basketball quarterfinals has also been announced.
Olympiacos, the leader of the regular season, will face Monaco, who took advantage of home court advantage against Barcelona in the last play-off game.
"The Princes", a team whose season was marked by financial problems and the departure of coach Vasilis Spanoulis, celebrated a 79:70 victory in a match in which Barça never led.
It was 2:2 and 4:4, and then everything was up to the team led by long-time member of the coaching staff, Manuchar Markoishvili.
Monaco had a plus 14 in the first quarter, a 17 difference in the second and 18 in the third, but the Catalans at least brought uncertainty until the end - not enough to jeopardize their rivals' step towards the playoffs.
Daniel Theiss was the most efficient player in Monaco with 16 points, Eli Okobo scored 14, and Mike James had 13 points and 10 assists... Will Clyburn (16) had the most points in Barca.
Monaco lost to Panathinaikos in the first play-off match, while the "blaugrana" eliminated Red Star.
The playoffs begin on April 28th, are best-of-three, and the pairings are:
Olympiacos - Monaco
Valencia - Panathinaikos
Real Madrid - Hapoel Tel Aviv
Fenerbahce - Zalgiris
