It is an all-Spanish tie after both sides came through English opposition in the last 16.
Barca beat Newcastle handily after a tense first leg, which ended 1-1 at St James’ Park.
The second started competitively but veered heavily in the hosts’ favour at the Nou Camp as Hansi Flick’s men ran away 7-2 victors, winning the tie 8-3 on aggregate.
Former Leeds United winger Raphinha netted a brace, and so did veteran striker Robert Lewandowski, while Lamine Yamal scored his second penalty in two Champions League games.
Marc Bernal and Fermin Lopez completed the scoring, while Anthony Elanga notched both of the Magpies’ strikes.
Spurs put in their best performance under Tudor in the reverse fixture, winning 3-2 on the night, but they exited the competition after a 7-5 aggregate defeat.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid team news
The biggest loss for Barca is a hamstring injury suffered by Raphinha while on international duty.
He is set to sit out for the next four weeks after injuring himself playing for Brazil over the recent international break.
Also out are Frenkie de Jong, who is trying to accelerate his recovery from a hamstring issue of his own, and the Dutchman could be ready for the second leg if all goes to plan.
Marc Bernal is also not far behind de Jong in terms of a road to recovery, with his ankle sprain seeing him out until the middle of the month.
Andreas Christensen has been out longer term with a cruciate ligament tear, but the former Chelsea defender is also closing in on a return, and he could feature before the season is out.
As for Atleti, Diego Simeone is contending with his first-choice goalkeeper Jan Oblak currently being sidelined with a muscle injury in his side that has kept him out of the win over Tottenham, as well as games against Getafe and Real Madrid. He also did not feature against Barca over the weekend.
Midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza is out with an ankle problem, while Pablo Barrios is almost ready for a return from his thigh issue.
Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid prediction
This should be a tight game, particularly with both coaches’ nous in this competition.
However, based on their recent results – most notably over the weekend – Barca are the favourites.
They lead La Liga by seven points, extending that lead last weekend with a victory at the Metropolitano against Atleti.
Guiliano Simeone, Diego’s son, opened the scoring for the hosts, but Marcus Rashford equalised three minutes before the break, with Nico Gonzalez, playing as a left-back, was sent off on the stroke of half time.
Lewandowski completed the turnaround late on, striking in the 87th minute to hand Flick all three points.
