The drawing of the Champions League dams this Friday, January 31, in Nyon (Switzerland).
The verdict will fall. After a stunning regular phase, the new formula of the Champions League reserves very attractive posters. Make way for the sixties of the competition, with the teams that ended between the 9th and 24th place in this league phase.
Atalanta, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, PSV Eindhoven, Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica Lisbon, Monaco, Brest, Feyenoord Rotterdam, Juventus Turin, Celtic Glasgow , Manchester City, Sporting Portugal and Bruges will be the 16 clubs concerned by the draw for these dams,
which will take place this afternoon in Nyon (Switzerland).
A huge shock on the program
The menu of these round of 16 should be very generous. Three French clubs will be affected by this draw, including Paris Saint-Germain. Fifteenth of the ranking, the capital's club will meet the Brest stadium, which is also its future opponent in Ligue 1.. The winner of this double confrontation will join Lille in the round of 16. Monaco, for his part, will be measured in Benfica, his regular phase (2-3).
But the most prestigious poster of these sixteenths will concern the fallen cadors of this league phase. Manchester City, which has passed through the small door, will be the scarecrow of the program. The band in Guardiola pulled Real Madrid. This is the fourth year in a row that these two teams will compete.
Finally, other confrontations between two clubs of the same country could potentially animate these dams. As a reminder, the first leg will take place on February 11 and 12, a week with the second rounds, on February 18 and 19. The winner of the 100% French confrontation will inherit a very prestigious eighth opponent, namely Liverpool or FC Barcelona.
