Liverpool will face a familiar and formidable obstacle in the Champions League next year after the draw for the last 16 pitted them against the holders, Real Madrid.
The repeat of last season’s final was the stand-out tie from Monday’s draw at Uefa’s headquarters in Nyon, where Paris Saint-Germain were paired with Bayern Munich in another heavyweight contest. There were more favourable draws for England’s other representatives in the last 16, with Manchester City facing RB Leipzig, Tottenham meeting Milan and Chelsea playing Borussia Dortmund.
