Champions League draw LIVE! Latest reaction and updates as Arsenal and Man City handed favourable last-16 ties

Champions League draw LIVE!

Arsenal and Man City are among the teams who discovered their next Champions League opponents, after the last-16 draw took place this morning. Both will be delighted with the outcome, as the Gunners were paired with Porto and City will face Copenhagen. Barcelona face a tricky test against Napoli, with neither side currently in the best of form, while Bayern Munich face Lazio and Real Madrid go up against RB Leipzig.

The Europa League knockout round play-off draw was also held, as those teams who finished second in their group go up against clubs dropping down from the Champions League. Liverpool, West Ham and Rangers are among those clubs already straight through to the last-16 as group winners and were therefore not involved.

There is no such luxury for Jose Mourinho's Roma side, who will take on Feyenoord while Marseille are also in the hat after a dramatic defeat to Brighton last week. They face Shakhtar Donetsk. AC Milan will fancy their chances of a deep run and have been drawn against Rennes, with Lens, who beat Arsenal earlier this season, going up against Freiburg.
