"Madrid vs City undoubtedly highlights the round of 16 fixtures in what was a tough draw for the Premier League sides, with the exception Arsenal. Arsenal, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur were all drawn on the same side of the draw, while Chelsea, City and Liverpool are on the other, much more difficult, side."
"Premier League leaders Arsenal will face Bayer Leverkusen after winning all of their league phase matches. Should they knock out the German side, they will face one of Bodo/Glimt or Sporting Lisbon."
"On the other side, Liverpool face Galatasaray again after losing 1-0 in Istanbul in September. The winners of that tie will take on reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain or Chelsea, whose last-16 tie is a rematch of last summer's Club World Cup final."
The Champions League last-16 draw paired six Premier League teams with their opponents. Manchester City will face Real Madrid in the standout fixture, while Arsenal drew Bayer Leverkusen and Newcastle will play Barcelona. Tottenham faces Atletico Madrid, and Liverpool meets Galatasaray again after their September loss. Chelsea plays PSG in a Club World Cup final rematch. Arsenal, Newcastle, and Tottenham occupy one side of the draw, while Chelsea, City, and Liverpool face tougher opposition on the other side. Last-16 matches are scheduled for March 10-11 and March 17-18, with quarter-finals in April and semi-finals in late April and May.
