The Champions League group stage reached its conclusion at the start of December and all sides are confirmed for the draw for the round of 16.

Holders Chelsea, last season’s finalists Manchester City and fellow Premier League teams Liverpool and Manchester United are joined by the likes of Bayern Munich, PSG and Real Madrid - but Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund are among the teams already out.

The draw will now be made to determine the round of 16 ties, scheduled to take place in February and March next year, which will see the remaining teams split into seeded and non-seeded sides ahead of the two-legged fixtures.
