Champions League draw rules

The draw for the last 16 of the Champions League is done in line with a number of conditions. Teams who have already played together in the group stages cannot be drawn together, nor can teams from the same country.

The teams who finished top of their group (placed in Pot A) will meet second placed qualifiers (Pot B).

This means Real Madrid could meet Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Juventus, Liverpool or Leipzig, while Atlético Madrid, who also finished second, could meet PSG, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Liverpool or Leipzig.

Table-toppers Barcelona could face Napoli, Tottenham, Chelsea, Lyon or Atalanta, while Valencia, who also finished first, have similar possible opponents: Napoli, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund, Lyon and Atalanta.
