Crisis-hit Serie A club Parma were declared bankrupt on Thursday with estimated debts of 100 million euros (£72.4m).

It took just 10 minutes for an Italian court to make the decision and it is not known whether the club, who are bottom of Serie A, will now finish the season.

However, there is a plan in place with the league's governing body and the Italian football federation to fund the club for the rest of the campaign.

Parma's new president Giampietro Manenti was arrested for alleged involvement in money laundering

Parma's new owner and president, Giampietro Manenti, was not present following his arrest on Wednesday on charges of money laundering and embezzlement.

The court appointed accountants Angelo Anedda and Alberto Guiotto as receivers.

'I believe we'll play on Sunday against Torino,' board member Osvaldo Riccobene told reporters at the end of the hearing.

Parma's players and staff haven't been paid in months, with players having to do their own laundry and drive the team bus while games were postponed because the club could not afford stewards or police at their Tardini stadium.

Players also refused to play after Manenti failed to fulfil a promise to pay them by mid-February.

Captain Alessandro Lucarelli said: ‘I hope sooner or later this all ends because honestly we can’t take any more.’

Manenti became the third owner of Parma this season after purchasing the club for a nominal sum from a Russian-Cypriot group in February.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manenti is under investigation for various acts of financial irregularity including money laundering and fraud.

PSG face Barcelona and Real Madrid face Atletico - Champions League draw in full

The quarter finals of the Champions League will see a Madrid derby while the French giants will once again do battle with Luis Enrique's side

Real Madrid's worst nightmare was confirmed on Friday when they were drawn in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against bogey side Atletico.

Carlo Ancelotti's men may be the defending champions - a title earned by beating Atleti 4-1 in last season's final - but they have failed to beat their city rivals in six attempts this season across La Liga, the Copa del Rey and Spanish Supercopa. The most recent clash ended 4-0 in Atletico's favour.

Madrid will get another chance to record a victory when they meet in the first leg at the Vicente Calderon on April 14. The return at the Bernabeu takes place eight days later.

Barcelona will resume hostilities with Paris Saint-Germain after being the first two clubs out of the pot in Nyon.

The pair met in the group stage with the French champions inflicting a 3-2 defeat on Barca before Luis Enrique's men extracted a degree of revenge by winning 3-1 at Camp Nou.

Of the three favourites to claim the trophy in Berlin on June 6, Bayern Munich will be the happiest with Friday's outcome.

Pep Guardiola's men were drawn against Porto, conquerors of Basel in the last round, with midfielder Thomas Muller admitting the draw "could have been worse".

Juventus will also fancy their chances of progressing having been paired with Monaco. The principality side survived a second-leg pummelling by Arsenal to scrape into the last eight and will take on a Juve side which is not only running away with Serie A but also proved much too strong for Borussia Dortmund in the last 16.
