Who has qualified?

As alluded to, Premier League sides Arsenal and Manchester City will both be competing in the last-16. 

Real Madrid, along with City, were the only teams to win all six of their group stage matches. Fellow Spanish side Barcelona will also be playing in the next round of the competition.

Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich finished top of Group A and will be hoping for a comfortable knockout tie. 

The draw will work with the winners of each group being put into a seeded pot. The runners-up in each group will go into a second unseeded pot.

They will be drawn against each other with seeded sides playing the first leg of each tie away, before returning home for the second match of the tie.

Premier League sides Arsenal and Man City cannot play each other as they are from the same national association.
