Chelsea will take on Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The Premier League club were drawn against the La Liga side in Monday’s draw.

The first leg will take place in Madrid on 16 February, with the second leg at Stamford Bridge following on 9 March.

Chelsea topped Group E with 14 points, so were set to face a side that had finished second in their own group. Atletico were runners-up behind Bayern Munich in Group A on nine points.

Chelsea won their sole Champions League title in 2012, defeating Bayern on the Bundesliga team’s home turf in the final.

Atletico, meanwhile, were runners-up to rivals Real Madrid in the 2014 and 2016 finals.
