When is the Champions League quarter-final draw?

The draw for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final is on Friday 17 March.

Can teams from the same country face each other in the Champions League last 16?

No side can face another team from the same national association. Clubs cannot face opponents they met during the group stage, either. That led to the limitations we saw in the above draw, which are lifted from the quarter-final stage.

Is the Champions League last 16 over two legs?

Ties take place over two legs, with seeded teams at home in the second legs.

How does the Champions League last 16 work?

The away goals rule has been removed, so Champions League ties level after 180 minutes will go to extra time irrespective of the number of goals each team has scored at home and away. If the teams still cannot be separated after the additional 30 minutes, the match will go to a penalty shootout.
