Tottenham draw AC Milan in Champions League last-16 amid Antonio Conte challenge

Tottenham Hotspur have drawn AC Milan in the last-16 of the Champions League.

Spurs sealed qualification for the knockout stages of the competition in dramatic fashion by coming from behind to defeat Marseille last Wednesday. Antonio Conte's side topped the group after goals from Clement Lenglet and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg ensured the north-Londoners' spot in pot one of the knockout draw.

The first leg of the round of 16 will be played on February 14, 15, 21 or 22 and the second leg on March 7, 8, 14 or 15. Spurs will play at home during the second leg due to winning their group.

The meeting will be the first since the pair contested in the same round back in 2011. Spurs advanced courtesy of a 1-0 aggregate score win courtesy of a Peter Crouch counter-attacking goal in the San Siro.

Stefano Pioli's side finished three points behind Chelsea in Group E after avoiding defeat in four fixtures against Red Bull Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb. The Scudetto holders are currently second in their domestic league, six points behind Napoli.

Elsewhere in the draw, Club Brugge face Benfica, Liverpool are against Real Madrid in a repeat of last season's final, and Manchester City drew RB Leipzig.
