Champions League Draw: Top European Clubs to know opponents today

Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City will find out their Champions League last-16 opponents in today’s Uefa Champions League draw

The trio won their respective groups to progress, with Manchester United the only Premier League side to exit.

Holders, Bayern Munich and the three English teams are among the seeded clubs, meaning five-time champions, Barcelona and La Liga leaders, Atletico Madrid are two potential opponents.

The draw for the Uefa Champions League takes place today, 14 December at 11:00 GMT. It will be held at Uefa’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The sixteen teams will be put into two pots – one for the seeded teams, who are the eight group winners, and one for the unseeded teams, who are the eight runners up.

Teams from the same national association cannot be drawn against each other. That means Real Madrid cannot meet Barcelona or city rivals Atletico until the quarter-finals.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City are all seeded after winning their groups so that means they will avoid tough ties against Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, Serie A winners Juventus and French giants Paris St-Germain.

Seeded: Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid.

Unseeded: Atalanta, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Borussia Monchengladbach, Lazio, Porto, RB Leipzig, Sevilla.

The first legs will take place on 16, 17, 23 and 24 February, with the second legs on 9, 10, 16, 17 March.

Seeded teams will play away for the first leg before being at home for the return matches.
