. . World news – USA – Champions League draw in the round of 16: Barcelona versus PSG, Liverpool versus Leipzig, Chelsea versus Atletico Madrid | goal. com

Liverpool face RB Leipzig in the last 16 of the Champions League, Chelsea face Atletico Madrid and Lionel Messi’s Barcelona face Neymar and Paris Saint-Germain.

In other countries, Bayern Munich was drawn against Lazio, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus against Porto and Manchester City have to win against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Seville’s meeting with Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid’s clash with Atalanta complete the list of games for the first knockout round.

In the outstanding competition in this phase of the European elite competition, Barcelona will lock the horns with PSG.

Ronald Koeman’s side could only finish second in their group, which means they always ran the risk of being paired with a continental heavyweight.

Last season’s defeated finalists will be their next opponents. With this two-legged tie, six-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi will take on the familiar face of former Blaugrana star Neymar – as he shakes off his last injury setback in time.

Atletico Madrid face Chelsea in another encounter with a La Liga giant.

The Blues have gone to great lengths to become serious contestants for prestigious prizes both domestically and abroad and will be given the chance to set a European marker against Diego Simeone’s side, led by Luis Suarez and Joao Felix.

Chelsea’s Premier League rivals Liverpool will face one of the surprise packages from 2019-20. RB Leipzig is keen to repeat its run to the semi-finals of this event.

Jürgen Klopp’s team reached the consecutive finals in 2018 and 2019 and won the latter and will have larger silverware in their sights this season despite ongoing injury battles.

Juventus, with five-time winner Ronaldo in their ranks, must also be favorites to go all the way.

They won’t have everything their own way against Porto, but they will feel like the draw was kind to them.

Things could have been worse for Manchester City, which has not yet achieved continental success under Pep Guardiola, but Mönchengladbach will keep an eye on a remarkable scalp.

You are at this stage of the Champions League for the first time, but you ousted Shakhtar Donetsk and Inter in the group stage to reach that point.

Atalanta’s progress at this level is no longer a shock, but they will have to improve their game again to survive against Real Madrid – despite Los Blancos’ struggles for consistency in 2020-21.

Sevilla dropped out of the Champions League last season to win the Europa League. Now he will try to chase the main prize and dispose of an exciting young Dortmund team.

After all, Bayern Munich will be reluctant to forego a trophy that was part of a triple triumph for them last season and Lazio, knocked out for the first time in two decades, will block their path.

The first legs of the last 16 games will be played on 16. , 17. , 23. and 24. February, while the second legs on 9. , 10. , 16. and 17. March 2021.
