"Chelsea will have very fond memories from their last meeting with the French champions, humbling them in the Club World Cup final in New Jersey last July with Cole Palmer running the show."
"Arsenal will be the happiest of the Premier League contingent. In addition to a favourable draw today, their route to the semi-final of the competition keeps them clear of the likes of PSG, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Man City and Bayern Munich."
"While PSG were the most feared team in the competition last season, thrashing Inter 6-0 in the final last May, they have looked vulnerable in Europe this term."
The Champions League round of 16 draw has been completed, featuring several high-profile matchups. Chelsea will face defending champions PSG, while Manchester City meets Real Madrid in another clash between European giants. Newcastle takes on Barcelona, Arsenal faces Bayer Leverkusen, and Liverpool plays Galatasaray. Tottenham confronts Atletico Madrid despite their poor Premier League form. Bayern Munich meets Atalanta, the competition's only remaining Italian side. Bodø/Glimt, who eliminated Inter, faces Sporting CP. Arsenal appears to have secured the most favorable draw among English clubs, avoiding top competitors on their path to the semi-finals.
