Champions League draw: PSG v Man Utd, Chelsea v Lille, Here is all you need to know

Manchester United have been drawn to face Ligue 1 leaders Paris St-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League.

A mouthwatering tie pits two of the greatest players of all time in Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Holders Chelsea have been drawn to face French champions Lille, while six-time winners Liverpool play Red Bull Salzburg.

Premier League champions Manchester City take on last season’s Europa League winners Villarreal.

The two legs of the Round of 16 will be spread over eight matchdays between February and March. The second leg of each series will take place three weeks after the first leg.

The eight teams left standing after the Round of 16 will participate in a quarterfinal draw on March 18, 2022, which will determine the rest of the Champions League bracket through to the final in Saint Petersburg, Russia on May 28. There are no seedings involved in that draw, and unlike the Round of 16, teams from the same country can be drawn against one another.
