Who can Chelsea get in the Champions League draw?

Klopp on "absolutely big" win over Spurs in the EPL

Liverpool will face Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16, in a repeat of last season’s final. The Spaniards beat Jurgen Klopp’s side 1-0 in Paris to win their 14th title, having also defeated the Reds in the 2018 final.

Elsewhere in the last-16 draw, conducted in Switzerland on Monday morning, Chelsea drew Borussia Dortmund in what promises to be an intriguing tie. Graham Potter’s side topped their group following impressive wins over Italian champions AC Milan, but the Blues are winless in their last four following Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Manchester City, who finished above Dortmund in the group stage, will take on another German opponent in the form of RB Leipzig. Pep Guardiola’s side are once again hoping to end their search for an elusive Champions League title, with the arrival of Erling Haaland helping to establish City as firm favourites for this season’s crown.

The fourth Premier League side in the draw, Tottenham, face a traditional European heavyweight in AC Milan. Spurs edged Marseille in a dramatic group stage decider to qualify for the knockout stages as one of the seeded teams and a two-legged tie with Milan is their reward. Perhaps the biggest tie of the round not featuring an English team will see PSG square off against Bayern Munich.
