Liverpool face PSG in UEFA Champions League last 16 draw, Real Madrid Drawn Against Atleti—-Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool have discovered their opponents for the UEFA Champions League round of 16. Real Madrid take on Atletico Madrid in one of the headline ties of this round, with the entire bracket now mapped out until the final in Munich.

Liverpool will take on Paris Saint-Germain in a blockbuster tie in the UEFA Champions League last 16.

Liverpool eased to seven wins from eight in the competition’s league phase, while PSG struggled to make it into the top 16 of the table. However, they destroyed Brest 10-0 on aggregate in the play-off round.
Arsenal, looking for their first-ever triumph in the competition, will take on PSV Eindhoven, who defeated Juventus in the play-offs.
Aston Villa’s reward for an impressive league phase campaign is Club Brugge. The West Midlands club are aiming for a shock lift of the trophy they previously won in 1982.
All three English teams have been drawn in the same half of the new-look Champions League bracket, meaning there cannot be an all-English final.
Arne Slot’s league phase table-toppers are the bookmakers’ favourites to win what would be a seventh European Cup.
A derby between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is also in store, with the victor meeting Arsenal or PSV in the next round.
A Kylian Mbappe-inspired Real Madrid dismantled Manchester City in the knockout play-offs, though did lose to another English club, Liverpool, in the league phase.
Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich clash in a tantalising all-German tie. The sides recently played out a 0-0 draw in the Bundesliga.
Barcelona take on Benfica, with the Iberian giants having met in the league phase. Barcelona won that thrilling fixture 5-4.
Feyenoord’s rumoured incoming new manager Robin van Persie will have a first taste of European action against Internazionale.
Borussia Dortmund, who cruised through the knockout play-offs against Sporting CP, face Lille in the final tie of the round.
The seeded teams – those who finished in the top eight places of the league phase – will have home advantage in the second leg.
