UEFA Champions League knockout draws hours away

Sixteen team will know their fate as the draw for the knockout phase is set to hold in Nyon on Monday

Who and Who Qualified?

The eight teams that topped their respective sections in the group stage (Manchester United, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona) are seeded, with the eight runners-up unseeded.

The runners-up are drawn first and play the first-leg matches at home. They cannot be paired with either the winners from their section or clubs from the same association.

GROUP WINNERS	RUNNERS-UP
Manchester United	Bayer Leverkusen
Real Madrid	Galatasaray
Paris Saint-Germain	Olympiakos
Bayern Munich	Manchester City
Chelsea	Schalke
Borussia Dortmund	Arsenal
Atletico Madrid	Zenit St Petersburg
Barcelona	AC Milan

The make-up of the pots, as shown above, and the aforementioned rules mean that Bayern Munich could meet Arsenal once more, while Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund could also meet familiar opposition in Manchester City.

Other high-profile ties would be Premier League champions Manchester United against AC Milan or another encounter between Barcelona and Arsenal.

On the other hand, dark horses Atletico Madrid could be paired with one of Galatasaray or Olympiakos in what would be a rather favourable draw for the Liga outfit.

The first legs of the round of 16 will be played on February 18, 19, 25 and 26, with the second legs scheduled for March 11, 12, 18 and 19.

The quarter-finals will then take place on April 1 and 2, and April 8 and 9, while the semi-finals will be held on April 22 and 23, with the return fixtures to be played on April 29 and 30.

The final is decided by a single match, which will be played at Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on Saturday, May 24, 2014.
