Real Madrid against Manchester City and PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) against Chelsea are some of the big clashes in the round of 16 of the Champions League, according to the draw held this Friday (27) by UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) in Nyon, Switzerland.
Real and City have faced each other 15 times since the 2019/2020 season in Champions League games, in a match marked by balance — there are five wins for the Spanish, five for the English and five draws so far.
Whoever makes it through the highly anticipated duel between strikers Vinicius Junior and Haaland will face the winner of the duel between Atalanta and Bayern Munich.
PSG and Chelsea will re-edit the final of the FIFA Club World Cup (International Football Federation), in July 2025, when the English team surprised the favorites, champions of the Champions League, with a 3-0 victory at the MetLife Stadium, in East Rutherford, in the United States.
In the quarter-finals, PSG or Chelsea will face whoever passes the duel between Galatasaray and Liverpool.
Leader of the continental preliminary league stage, Arsenal will face Bayern Leverkusen. If you advance, take Sporting or Bodo/Glimt, the Norwegian sensation that eliminated Inter Milan.
The round of 16 is scheduled to take place between March 10th and 18th, with the quarterfinals between April 7th and 15th. The semi-finals take place from April 26th to May 6th, with the final on May 30th, at the Puskás Arena, in Budapest, Hungary.
