The fixtures of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 are out.

Real Madrid will face Liverpool in what will be a repeat of last season's final, while Paris Saint-Germain will play Bayern Munich in a very stern test of their aspirations of winning their first title.

The draw was conducted in Nyon on Monday, November 7, by former Real Madrid player Hamit Altintop.

PSG were pipped to the top spot on the final day by Benfica and will need their three superstars to lead them past the team that beat them in the 2020 final.

Liverpool will have another chance to seek out revenge against a Real Madrid side that has beaten them in two finals. Jurgen Klopp's side finished in second place behind Napoli, while Real beat Leipzig to the top spot.

Chelsea vs Borussia Dortmund will also be another high-profile fixture. Dortmund have blown hot and cold this season but still remain a formidable opposition, with Jude Bellingham one of the most exciting prospects in football.

Chelsea are currently fumbling and head coach Graham Potter will be hoping to have found a winning formula by the time they face the German opposition.

Haaland leads Manchester City's charge

AC Milan vs Tottenham could also provide for an interesting watch, as Erling Haaland returns to Germany to face RB Leipzig.

The fixtures will be held in February, with the teams that finished in second place starting at home.

RB Leipzig vs Manchester City

Club Brugge vs Benfica

Liverpool vs Real Madrid

AC Milan vs Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Brief has also reported that Barcelona and Manchester United are set to renew their European rivalry, after drawing each other in the knockout round of the Europa League.

It will be a meeting between the game's finest footballers, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski.

This is the preliminary round between the teams that finished third in the Champions League and the runners-up in the Europa League groups, with the winners proceeding to the next round where they will face the group winners.
