The Champions League round of 16 draw continues to bring a series of exciting matches, of which the most prominent is the fateful reunion between Real Madrid and Manchester City. This is a confrontation that has become a classic of Europe in recent years.
Real Madrid and Man City will meet in the Champions League knockout round for the fifth consecutive season. The confrontations between these two "giants" in recent years have always been breathtaking and emotional.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain will face Chelsea in a match that is also full of fate. It has been a decade since the last time the two teams met in the Champions League knockout round in 2016, when PSG eliminated Chelsea in the round of 16.
However, the English representative once defeated PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup final in July last year in the US, adding more flavor to this rematch.
Another representative of England, Arsenal, only had to face Bayer Leverkusen, in their first reunion since February 2002. The last time the two teams met in the group stage, Arsenal won 4-1 at the legendary Highbury stadium.
In addition, Newcastle will rematch Barcelona in a match considered key for coach Eddie Howe's team. Newcastle once lost to the La Liga representative in the group stage, and this is an opportunity for them to correct their mistakes.
Galatasaray will also continue to face Liverpool after the English representative once lost 0-1 in Turkey in September. The passionate atmosphere in Turkey promises to once again create a significant challenge for the "Red Brigade".
Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur are another noteworthy match. The two teams will meet again after 63 years of waiting. The last time the two teams met was in 1963 in the European C2 Cup.
The phenomenon of this year's tournament, Bodo/Glimt, will face Sporting CP in a match considered balanced and unpredictable.
