Champions League draw a dream for Manchester City, nightmare for Manchester United

Liverpool will take on Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16, while Manchester United have been drawn against Paris St-Germain.

Tottenham and Premier League champions Manchester City also face Bundesliga teams, with City meeting Schalke and Spurs playing Borussia Dortmund.

The first legs will take place on 12-13 and 19-20 February, with the return legs on 5-6 and 12-13 March.

Group winners will play away from home in the first legs.

Teams could not be drawn against clubs from the same country in the last 16, nor against sides who they played in the group stage.

Elsewhere, defending champions Real Madrid will face Dutch champions Ajax, who have qualified for the knockout stages for the first time since 2005-06, while Serie A champions Juventus face Europa League holders Atletico Madrid.

Spanish champions Barcelona meet French side Lyon, while Italian club Roma play Portuguese champions Porto.

Return to Germany for Klopp

Liverpool, who were defeated 3-1 by Real Madrid in last season's final, avoided a rematch with the La Liga giants in Monday's draw when they were left in the pot of unseeded teams with Ajax - who played Bayern in the group stage.

The Reds have not played the Baverians, who have reached at least the semi-finals in seven of the past nine campaigns, in Europe's premier club competition since it became the Champions League.

This season, the German champions have struggled under Niko Kovac in the Bundesliga and are third on the table - nine points behind leaders Dortmund. 

But they excelled in a group containing Ajax, Benfica and AEK Athens unbeaten.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is due for a return to his homeland to face the club who defeat his Dortmund side in the 2013 Champions League final.

Former Liverpool winger Steve McManaman believes his former club have the quality to beat Bayern.

"Liverpool were always going to get a difficult draw," the former England international said on BT Sport.

"No disrespect to Porto, but they are probably the one team you wanted to draw.”

"But Bayern Munich are the not the team they once were. This young, exuberant, quick Liverpool team should be too good for them.

"This squad is quicker, stronger and better for the experience after last year."

United face PSG for the first time

Three-time European champions Manchester United have never played PSG, who were the top scorers in the groups, in a competitive game.

The Ligue 1 champions reached the knockout stage despite defeat at Anfield in their opening match.

Despite their dominance in the French domestic game in recent years, the Qatari-owned club have never progressed past the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Eins, zwei, drei...

On paper, Manchester City are the English side with the most favourable draw after being picked out against Schalke.

As they chase a second successive title, City have been free-scoring in the Premier League while Schalke are struggling in the bottom half of the Bundesliga after losing eight of their 15 games.

Tottenham, on the other hand, face a Dortmund side who remain unbeaten domestically as they aim to end Bayern's six-year monopoly in the German top league.

The tie would also see 18-year-old England winger Jadon Sancho play Premier League opposition for the first time in a competitive match.
