The draw for the last 16 of this season’s Champions League was drawn last Friday and pulled up from very interesting clashes. Arsenal have been drawn against holders AC Milan, whilst last year’s runners up and 5 times champions Liverpool must play Serie A leaders Internazionale.
Celtic face a tern test after being paired with favourites Barcelona. Manchester United will tackle French champions Lyon, who denied Rangers a spot in the knockout stage but for the crossbar. However, Chelsea appear to have the kindest draw of the British sides after being pitted against Greek outfit Olympiakos.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid take on Roma, Sevilla meet Fenerbahce, and Schalke play Porto.
Ties to be played on 19th/20th February and 4th/5th March. However Liverpool’s away game at the San Siro has been put back a week, to 11th March, due Arsenal playing AC Milan the day before.
Champions League second round draw in full:
Celtic v Barcelona

Schalke v Porto
Liverpool v Internazionale

It’s going to be a long wait!
