Champions League last 16 draw: Who did the English clubs get

Chelsea were handed the toughest test in the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League as they were paired with five-times European champions Barcelona.

Having finished second in their group behind Roma, Antonio Conte's men were hoping for a potential tie against Besiktas but instead came out against Lionel Messi's band of superstars.

But Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool will be relatively content after being paired with Basel, Sevilla and Porto respectively.

What are the rules?

Clubs cannot play a team from the group from which they qualified until the quarter-finals, and likewise they are not allowed to meet a team from their own domestic league until the last eight either.

That means Chelsea, for example, cannot be drawn against Roma as they were both in Group C, while they also cannot meet any of the English teams to have won their group, like Manchester United.

So who can play who?

Manchester United finished top of Group A and will face Bayern Munich (4), Juventus (5), Sevilla (7), Shakhtar Donestk (16), Porto (12) or Real Madrid (1).

Chelsea finished second in Group C and will face Paris Saint-Germain (6), Barcelona (3) or Besiktas (28).

Liverpool finished top of Group E and will face Basel (20), Bayern Munich (4), Juventus (5), Shakhtar Donetsk (16), Porto (12) or Real Madrid (1).

Real Madrid aren't too happy 

Their director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueno, thinks their tie against Paris-Saint Germain should be the final of the competition rather than a Round of 16 clash.

"This could have been the final, given the power of the two clubs. The last 16 is a bit early, we could say. Logically we are both challengers for the trophy," Butragueno said following the draw.

"PSG get stronger and stronger, they had an impeccable group phase and have a lot of power. I don't think it's a good draw for them either. It will be a thrilling tie."

Full schedule 

Chelsea were handed the toughest draw of any English team in the last 16 of the Champions League as they found themselves paired with five-time European champions FC Barcelona.

Antonio Conte's men paid the price for finishing second in their group and will face a second leg in the Nou Camp on March 14.

Tottenham were also handed a tough tie despite managing to finish ahead of Real Madrid in their qualifying group. Spurs were paired with last year's runners-up Juventus, who will host them on February 13 before the return leg at Wembley on March 7.

But Manchester City will be content after being paired with Basel, while crosstown rivals United drew La Liga upstarts Sevilla and Liverpool were pitched against Portuguese giants FC Porto.

Conte speaks out over Barca tie 

Head coach Antonio Conte insists Chelsea must be positive about the Champions League draw which sees his side face five-times European champions Barcelona.

Having finished second in their group behind Roma, the Premier League champions were hoping for a potential last-16 tie against Besiktas but instead came out against Lionel Messi's band of superstars.

"It's a draw. Our reaction must be positive," Conte said at his press conference on Monday ahead of Tuesday's Premier League clash at Huddersfield.

"When you are in this stage you must be ready to face every team. In this case we must be ready to face Barcelona.

"When you play against Barcelona you must put 120 per cent at home and away if you want to hope to go to the next round."

The first leg takes place at Stamford Bridge on February 20 - and is scheduled to be followed by Premier League matches at Manchester United (February 24) and Manchester City (March 3) - with the second leg at the Nou Camp on March 14.

And Conte's immediate focus is on the Premier League after last Saturday's loss at West Ham saw the Blues slip 14 points behind City as the Italian dismissed past battles with Barca.

But he will hope to invoke the memory of their remarkable win over the Catalan giants in 2012, when goals from Ramires and Fernando Torres saw them reach the Champions League final on away goals despite the earlier dismissal of John Terry.

"The past is the past. Now it's the present, another story. It's totally different," he said.

Tottenham were also handed a questionable reward for finishing ahead of Real Madrid in their qualifying group as they were paired with last year's runners-up Juventus.

But Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool will be relatively content after being paired with Basel, Sevilla and Porto respectively.

The remaining three ties pit Real Madrid against Paris St Germain, Shakhtar Donetsk with Roma, and Bayern Munich against Besiktas.

Spurs can expect to face a sterner test than that posed by Juventus in their last meeting in a pre-season friendly at Wembley in August, which the north Londoners won 2-0.

City will be delighted to land Swiss outsiders Basel. But they will have good cause to be wary against their experienced opposition, who beat both United and Benfica on their way to qualifying as runners-up from Group A.

A rivalry renewed

Chelsea and Barcelona will renew a regular Champions league rivalry that last surfaced in the 2012 semi-final when Chelsea won 3-2 on aggregate before going on to claim the trophy for the only time in their history.

Barcelona won the 2009 semi-final on away goals, Andres Iniesta breaking Chelsea's hearts with a 93rd-minute decider.

"We've had some great times at Stamford Bridge, haven't we?" Barcelona said on Twitter.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte said past events were of no consequence.

"Our reaction must be positive. The past is the past, the present is another story," he said.
