The draw for the Champions League Last 16 has been made at UEFA HQ in Nyon, Switzerland as the 2017/18 competition reaches the knockout rounds, producing eight mouth watering ties.

As per the usual draw procedure at this stage, the eight group winners and eight group runners-up were divided into two pots for seeding purposes. Teams from the same country could not be drawn together, while teams that qualified from the same group were also kept apart.

Barcelona will resume their old Champions League rivalry with Chelsea.

There will also be a meeting between the two most recent Europa League winners as Manchester United face Sevilla. Manchester City, meanwhile, will play Basel, and Tottenham have been handed a very challenging draw against 2017 finalists Juventus.
