UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Draw and Matches Schedule

With the end of UEFA Champions League group stage, the remaining 16 teams enter into the knockout phase of the competitions, and eight fixtures of the next round have been decided.

In this round, only teams from the top-5 leagues of Europe are left, with 50% teams belonging to La Liga and Premier League. Thus, teams from the same leagues cannot face each other.
