Champions League last 16 draw: Who did the English clubs get

Chelsea were handed the toughest test in the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League as they were paired with five-times European champions Barcelona.

Having finished second in their group behind Roma, Antonio Conte's men were hoping for a potential tie against Besiktas but instead came out against Lionel Messi's band of superstars.

Tottenham were also handed a questionable reward for finishing ahead of Real Madrid in their qualifying group as they were paired with last year's runners-up Juventus.

But Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool will be relatively content after being paired with Basel, Sevilla and Porto respectively.

The remaining three ties pit Real Madrid against Paris St Germain, Shakhtar Donetsk with Roma, and Bayern Munich against Besiktas.

What time is the draw?

The draw will take place at 11am GMT on Monday 11 December at Uefa's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

What are the rules?

Clubs cannot play a team from the group from which they qualified until the quarter-finals, and likewise they are not allowed to meet a team from their own domestic league until the last eight either.

That means Chelsea, for example, cannot be drawn against Roma as they were both in Group C, while they also cannot meet any of the English teams to have won their group, like Manchester United.

So who can play who?

Manchester United finished top of Group A and will face Bayern Munich (4), Juventus (5), Sevilla (7), Shakhtar Donestk (16), Porto (12) or Real Madrid (1).

Chelsea finished second in Group C and will face Paris Saint-Germain (6), Barcelona (3) or Besiktas (28).

Liverpool finished top of Group E and will face Basel (20), Bayern Munich (4), Juventus (5), Shakhtar Donetsk (16), Porto (12) or Real Madrid (1).

Manchester City finished top of Group F and will face Basel (20), Bayern Munich (4), Juventus (5), Sevilla (7), Porto (12) or Real Madrid (1).

Tottenham finished top of Group H and will face Basel (20), Bayern Munich (4), Juventus (5), Sevilla (7), Shakhtar Donetsk (16) or Porto (12).

When will the games be played?

Seeded group winners will be away in the round of 16 first legs on 13/14 and 20/21 February and at home in the return matches on 6/7 and 13/14 March.

A closer look at Europe's best... 

Bayern Munich

Coach: Jupp Heynckes

Star man: Robert Lewandowski

Champions League/European Cup best: Winners 1974, 1975, 1976, 2001, 2013

After a slow start to the season Bayern are humming once more under Heynckes, the man who masterminded their last Champions League triumph in 2013. They could only finish runners-up in Group B behind Paris St Germain, but won five of their six group stage matches.

Juventus

Coach: Massimiliano Allegri

Star man: Gianluigi Buffon

Champions League/European Cup best: Winners 1985, 1996

With Gianluigi Buffon seeking a fairytale ending to his career after three times suffering defeat in the Champions League final, Juve are once again leaning heavily on their defence. They kept clean sheets in three of their six group stage matches, including a goalless draw with group winners Barcelona.

Real Madrid

Coach: Zinedine Zidane

Star man: Cristiano Ronaldo

Champions League/European Cup best: Winners 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1966, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2014, 2016, 2017

The back-to-back winners made a slow start to the season - made clear by the fact they remain fourth in LaLiga - but found their mojo in the Champions League, even if they had to settle for runners-up spot behind Tottenham in Group H. Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo scored nine goals in the six group matches and they remain as dangerous as they come.

The outsiders... 

Besiktas

Coach: Senol Gunes

Star man: Cenk Tosun

Champions League/European Cup best: Quarter-finals 1987

Although they topped a relatively weak Group G ahead of Porto, the reigning Turkish champions have suffered indifferent form this season and sit fifth in the Super Lig table. Few clubs ever fancy an away trip to Istanbul, but there are far tougher teams you could pull out of the hat.

Basel

Coach: Raphael Wicky

Star man: Dmitri Oberlin

Champions League/European Cup best: Quarter-finals 1974

Basel impressed as they finished runners-up to Manchester United in Group A, beating Jose Mourinho's side at home and putting five past Benfica. In Oberlin, the 20-year-old striker on loan from Red Bull Salzburg, they have one of the hottest young properties in European football.

Porto

Coach: Sergio Conceicao

Star man: Vincent Aboubakar

Champions League/European Cup best: Winners 1987, 2004

Porto might be the kindest draw any of the group winners could hope for in the last 16. Runners-up in a weak Group G, they conceded almost two goals a game, and though striker Aboubakar has been in good form, they do not appear to have the weapons to go much further.

Sevilla

Coach: Eduardo Berizzo

Star man: Wissam Ben Yedder

Champions League/European Cup best: Quarter-finals 1958

Sevilla won only two of their Group E fixtures but got through on the back of being hard to beat - all except for the complete aberration which was their 5-1 loss to Spartak Moscow in October. That exposed their key weakness - although they can score plenty, they struggle to keep the back door closed, and kept just one clean sheet against lowly Maribor.

Shakhtar Donetsk

Coach: Paulo Fonseca

Star man: Bernard

Champions League/European Cup best: Quarter-finals 2011

Manchester City were always favourites in Group F but Napoli were supposed to follow them through. Shakhtar had other ideas and immediately tore up the script by beating the Italians in their opening match. By the time they wrapped up the group by beating a much-changed City side, Fonseca had to fulfil a promise to turn up to his press conference dressed as Zorro.

Xabi Alonso has taken to the stage. Assume he'll be the man with his hand in the balls.

[11 December 2017 11:12 · Samuel Lovett]

Eleven minutes in and still not one ball has been drawn as a man who looks like a Die Hard villain continues to explain how the draw will work. *sigh*
