From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Can't help but think that this draw will be a slightly longer one, and with a slightly bigger risk of spelling mistakes...

Who will be our ex-pro to help draw this one? It's not Ruud Gullit again... It's Patrik Andersson. Slightly less glamorous.

Some good awkward small talk there though. Always good to see. Wouldn't be a Uefa draw without it, would it?

Oh dear it's Mr Rules and Regulations again. Still looking like a child in his first Christmas play.

Last 32 here remember, so just the 16 ties to be drawn. And we're off...

There's quite a long wait in between draws as they juggle all the balls and put the correct combination into the pot.
