Liverpool has drawn Paris Saint-Germain in the Round of 16 of the Champions League, while Arsenal will go up against PSV Eindhoven, and Aston Villa is set to clash with Club Brugge.

These thrilling matchups are scheduled for March 4 and 5, with the return legs occurring on March 11 and 12.

All three English teams find themselves on the same side of the bracket, creating a scenario where Liverpool could potentially meet Aston Villa in the quarter-finals and face Arsenal in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, any English team aiming for a spot in the final may have to contend with the reigning champions, Real Madrid, who will not encounter Barcelona unless they both reach the final.

Liverpool finished the group stage at the top of their league, while PSG advanced through the knockout rounds with an impressive 10-0 aggregate victory against Brest.

Arsenal secured their place by finishing third in their group, setting the stage for a match against PSV, who eliminated Juventus in the play-offs after a 3-1 win in the second leg, completing a 4-3 triumph on aggregate. Aston Villa clinched the last automatic qualification spot and will now face Club Brugge, who progressed past Atalanta with a 5-2 aggregate success.

The complete list of matchups in the Round of 16 includes:

  • Borussia Dortmund vs Lille
  • Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid
  • Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen
  • PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal
  • Feyenoord vs Inter Milan
  • Paris Saint-Germain vs Liverpool
