The Champions League group stage came to a close Wednesday, setting the field for the tournament’s round-of-16 draw, which is scheduled for Monday at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
Who’s in the draw?
- AS Roma
- Barcelona
- Bayern Munich
- Besiktas JK
- Chelsea
- FC Basel 1893
- FC Porto
- Juventus
- Liverpool
- Manchester City
- Manchester United
- Paris Saint-Germain
- Real Madrid
- Sevilla

The draw will consist of two pots – one of group winners and the other of runner-ups. Clubs from the same group or same association can’t be drawn together, meaning Chelsea, for example, can only draw one of PSG, Barcelona, and Besiktas.
Group winners will begin the round of 16 by playing away in the first leg, which is scheduled for Feb. 13 and 14, and Feb. 20 and 21. The second leg will be played on March 6 and 7, and March 13 and 14.
