The draw on Monday determined that Bayern Munich, will face Paris Saint-Germain, both clubs who also already met in a Champions League final, with Bayern enjoying the triumph in their 2019-20 matchup.

Chelsea, winners in 2021, will have Borussia Dortmund on their way, while Manchester City will face another German side, RB Leipzig.

Other last 16 meetings include Club Brugge v Benfica, AC Milan v Tottenham, Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt v Napoli, and Inter Milan v Porto.

Ties take place over two legs, with grouo winners playing at home in the second legs.

The first legs are scheduled for February 14-15 and 21-22, while the second legs will be played on March 7-8 and 14-15.

As the away goal advantage was removed from all UEFA club competitions in the 2021-22, ties level after both games will go to extra time and, if necessary, to a penalty shoot-out.
