Real Madrid have been drawn against Real Madrid in the round of 16 fixtures of the UEFA Champions League (UCL).

The draws, held in Nyon on Friday by Ivan Rakitic, Barcelona legend, pits the European heavyweights for another episode of their blockbuster meetings.

Both sides have met in the group stage this season, with Man City victorious in Spain, but Real Madrid have defeated Pep GUardiola’s side in the last two meetings in the knockout rounds.

Other meetings include a revenge mission for Paris Saint-Germain, UCL defending champions, as they will take on Chelsea in a repeat of the Club World Cup final, where Chelsea dispatched the hitherto unbeatable Parisiens 3-0.

Victor Osimhen got his wish, as Galatasaray are set to face Liverpool. The 25-year-old had told the media he would love to visit Anfield and defeat the big boys for the Turkish champions’ ambitious UCL run.

Newcastle United and Barcelona meet again this season for a place in the quarter-finals. Ademola Lookman’s Atletico Madrid will face rudderless Tottenham Hotspurs.

First leg matches will be played between March 10-11, while the second legs will take place March 17-18.
