Champions League draw in full:
Manchester City vs Monaco
Real Madrid vs Napoli
Benfica vs Borussia Dortmund
Bayern Munich vs Arsenal
Porto vs Juventus
Bayer Leverkusen vs Atletico Madrid
PSG vs Barcelona
Sevilla vs Leicester City
There's three things certain in life: Death, taxes and Arsenal vs Bayern Munich.
This is the fourth time in the last five seasons that Arsene Wenger's men have been drawn against the German giants. Did someone say conspiracy...?
Up next we have the draw for the Europa League. The format is slightly different here as 16 of the teams are seeded, while the other 16 are not.
Of those 16 teams, 12 of them are group winners, with the final four being made up of the four best-placed Champions League teams who are entering the tournament - one of which is Tottenham.
That means United will likely face a tough draw, as well as a second leg away from home, after finishing second in their group.
Unlike the Champions League draw, the Europa League is far less predictable - mainly because neither Bayern Munich or Arsenal are involved.
