Liverpool will face PSG in the last-16 of the Champions League.

Arne Slot’s side finished top of the league phase but there has been little reward for that as they go up against PSG, who beat Brest 10-0 on aggregate in their play-off tie.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have been drawn against PSV.

There are two other blockbuster ties, as Real Madrid face Atletico Madrid in a much-anticipated derby, and Bayern Munich play Borussia Dortmund.

Should Arsenal get past PSV, they will face a quarter-final tie against either Real or Atletico.

Aston Villa avoided a last-16 test against Borussia Dortmund and have instead been drawn against Club Brugge, who they were beaten by in November in the league phase.

The winner of that tie will play Liverpool or PSG in the quarter-finals, in what appears to be the tougher side of the draw.
