The draw for the 2017-18 Champions League round of 16 was conducted in Nyon, Switzerland on Monday, and delivered some herculean matchups to look forward to in the new year.
Real Madrid was punished for its second-placed finish in Group H with two legs against much-fancied Paris Saint-Germain, while another standout tie will be contested between Chelsea and Barcelona.
The first fixture pulled out was the inaugural European meeting of Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur, which many will tip to be a tight affair.

- Juventus vs. Tottenham Hotspur
- FC Basel vs. Manchester City
- FC Porto vs. Liverpool
- Sevilla vs. Manchester United
- Real Madrid vs. Paris Saint-Germain

- Chelsea vs. Barcelona
- Bayern Munich vs. Besiktas
The first legs will be contested on Feb. 13-14 and 20-21, with the return legs slated for March 6-7 and 13-14.
