The Champions League knockout stage draw took centre stage at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on Friday morning. Six English clubs - Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle - all discovered their last-16 opponents and potential routes through to the final at Budapest’s Puskas Arena on May 30.

It will be Bayer Leverkusen next for competition favourites Arsenal after they topped the league phase with a formidable 100 per cent winning record, while Chelsea face a blockbuster tie against holders Paris Saint-Germain in a repeat of last summer’s Club World Cup final in the United States. Tottenham and Liverpool take on Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray respectively, while Newcastle get a rematch with Barcelona as Manchester City prepare for yet another high-profile meeting with Real Madrid.

Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest have been drawn against Lille and Midtjylland respectively in the Europa League last 16, before Crystal Palace find out who they will be facing next in the Conference League after getting past Zrinjski Mostar. Follow the Champions League draw live below!
