Liverpool, West Ham, and Brighton will not be participating in this draw. However, they will be closely observing the outcome of this round.
At 11:30, is there a standout match?
One could argue that the match between Serie A champions Napoli and Barcelona stands out. They last faced each other at this exact stage in the 2019-20 competition, with Barca winning 4-2 overall. However, the circumstances have changed since then, and it is difficult to predict a clear winner this time. Barca is not performing well in La Liga, and Napoli is also struggling in Serie A. Nevertheless, one of these teams has a significant opportunity to make a statement in European football. The draw for the last-16 of the Champions League has been announced, with some exciting matches to look forward to. Porto will face Arsenal, Napoli will take on Barcelona, PSG will go up against Real Sociedad, Inter will compete against Atletico Madrid, PSV Eindhoven will play against Borussia Dortmund, Lazio will clash with Bayern Munich, Copenhagen will challenge Manchester City, and RB Leipzig will meet Real Madrid.
RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid
RB Leipzig has been handed a huge opportunity as they face off against Real Madrid. This match is undoubtedly the highlight of the draw.
Copenhagen vs Manchester City
Copenhagen returns to this stage for the first time since 2011, and they will have the daunting task of facing the current title holders, Manchester City. Lazio is going up against Bayern Munich, who were the quarter-finalists in 2000 and have won the tournament six times. It is a challenging task for Lazio.
PSV will be playing against Borussia Dortmund, the winners of the 1988 European Cup, while Borussia Dortmund won the tournament in 1997.
Inter will face Atletico Madrid, who were the losing finalists in the previous year and have reached the final three times in the past.
PSG will be happy with the draw against Real Sociedad, considering they finished as runners-up in the previous season.
Napoli, the champions of Serie A, will be taking on Barcelona, who have won the Champions League five times. An appetizing matchup..
Porto versus Arsenal
The teams that emerged victorious in 1987 and 2004 will face off against the Gunners!

Former Chelsea captain John Terry, who won this competition in 2012, is present and sharing his thoughts. He recalls his experience playing against Barcelona in 2004-05, considering them the best team with the finest players in the world. It was challenging, but he cherishes those memories. He specifically mentions Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho as two of the toughest opponents he faced. Messi happened to be on his side of the pitch, which was unfortunate for him. However, he feels privileged to have played alongside such incredible players. When it comes to which team Terry supports, he believes Real Madrid is the one to watch. They have consistently performed exceptionally well for the past several years and always remain a strong contender. Terry also praises Jude Bellingham, highlighting his incredible talent, and acknowledges Carlo Ancelotti as an excellent manager. He predicts that Real Madrid will go far in the competition. 11:06 – Marchetti is now on stage.
