The first legs of the ties will be played onFebruary 14/15 and 21/22, with the return legs onMarch 7/8 and 14/15.


Arsenal made their way into the last 16 in much more comfortable fashion than last season, powering past Ludogorets and Basel home and away to duke it out with PSG for the number one seed in the group. The north Londoners could only draw twice with the French champions, but a last-round slip-up from Unai Emery's men against Ludogorets saw them fall away.


Leicester City will face Sevilla after coming top of a group containing Porto, Club Brugge and Copenhagen - looking to continue their impressive European form in their first foray into the Champions League in the club's history.

The Foxes conceded just one goal in their opening five games of the campaign, but were brought back down to earth with a bang last week when a weakened side was given a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Porto.


Barcelona and Manchester City traded hammerings in their own group but while Luis Enrique's side won their four remaining games, City triumphed just once - beating Borussia Monchengladbach at the Etihad before stuttering to a draw in Germany and earning a pair of draws against Celtic.


The full draw for the last 16 is as follows:

Manchester City vs AS Monaco

Real Madrid vs SSC Napoli

Benfica vs Borussia Dortmund

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal

Porto vs Juventus

Bayer Leverkusen vs Atletico Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona

Sevilla vs Leicester City
