Champions League: Tough draw for Liverpool, Real Madrid

As Arsenal take on PSV

by Patrick Omorodion

It was a tough last 16 Champions League draw for Premier League leaders Liverpool and defending champions, Real Madrid of Spain.

While Liverpool will face Paris St-Germain in the Champions League last 16, defending champions Real Madrid – who knocked out Manchester City in the knockout phase play-offs – face local rivals Atletico Madrid just as Bayern Munich play Bayer Leverkusen in an all-Germany affair.

Arsenal may have had a soft draw as they take on PSV Eindhoven as fellow Premier League side, Aston Villa face Club Brugge.

The two-legged last 16 ties will be played on 4-5 March and 11-12 March.

It will be the first time Liverpool have faced PSG since 2018-19, when the Reds went on to be crowned champions of Europe for the sixth time.

The winners of that tie will face Aston Villa or Club Brugge in the quarter-finals, while Arsenal will meet record 15-time winners Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the last eight – should they get past PSV.
