UEFA Champions League 2013-2014: Round of 16 Draw


The knockout stage of the 2013/14 Champions League campaign has taken shape, with only 16 of the continent's finest left in the hunt for Europe's top prize.

Monday's draw in Nyon, Switzerland, threw up several fascinating encounters, not least Arsenal's showdown against Bayern Munich and Manchester City's clash with Barcelona.

First-leg matches for the round of 16 will be played during the weeks of Feb. 18/19 and 25/26, before the return fixtures on March 11/12 and 18/19.
