Champions League last 16 draw: Man Utd face PSG, Liverpool v Bayern – as it happened

Liverpool have been handed a Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich, while Manchester City face Schalke and Spurs will play Dortmund

Manchester United face a monumental task to progress in the Champions League after being drawn to play Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16, while Liverpool face a tough tie against Bayern Munich, with Tottenham and Manchester City also paired with German opposition.


United’s defeat in Valencia last week meant they missed the opportunity to finish ahead of Juventus in their group after the Italian champions were surprisingly beaten by Young Boys in the final match of the group stages. That ensured José Mourinho’s side entered Monday’s draw as one of the eight runners-up and means they must now face a resurgent PSG side which beatLiverpool to top spot in Group C.


Liverpool were the last to be drawn, with Jürgen Klopp handed an opportunity to avenge his defeat to Bayern in the 2013 final as manager of Borussia Dortmund, with an intriguing showdown with fellow five-time winners Bayern. They are currently third in the Bundesliga, nine points behind Lucien Favre’s Dortmund, who finished ahead of Atlético Madrid in their group and will also provide stiff opposition to reach the last eight.


Competition favourites City were handed what appears, on paper at least, to be the most straightforward task againstSchalke, who have struggled in the league this season under 33-year-old coach Domenico Tedesco.


Atlético will face Juventus in potentially the pick of the other ties, while second favourites Barcelona were paired with Lyon, Roma face Porto and holders Real Madrid were paired with Ajax.


The first-leg fixtures will be split over two midweek dates, on 12-13 February and 19-20 February, with the second legs played over 5-6 March and 12-13 March.
