The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 draw handed fans multiple ties that they would surely be looking forward to watch in February 2020.
The draws of the competition see all the top two teams from each of the eight groups get positions in either Pot 1 or Pot 2. Their position in the pots depend on whether they finished first in their group or second.
Teams from the same group can’t face each other and teams from the same country can’t face each other.
The four teams from England got interesting draws. Manchester City, who had topped their group, will face Real Madrid. Chelsea will face Bayern Munich, having finished second in their group.
Liverpool will take on Spanish giants Atletico Madrid. Tottenham Hotspur have a slightly less stiff game and face German side RB Leipzig.
