Manchester City will continue their chase for more Champions League success as they find out their round of 16 opponents.
Pep Guardiola’s remain in the hunt for four trophies this season having narrowed the gap to Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, and may fancy their chances of a deep run in Europe.
Despite a couple of set-backs, Manchester City successfully navigated into the top eight in the league phase and avoided the knockout play-offs, and now await their next opposition having been paired with Sporting Lisbon.
A glamour tie with Real Madrid, who lead Benfica 1-0 after the first leg, could await, or might it be another trip north to face Bodo/Glimt?
The Norwegian side defeated Guardiola’s team 3-1 in January, and have continued their remarkable journey by knocking out last year’s runners-up Inter Milan 5-2 on aggregate.

The Champions League last-16 draw will take place in Nyon at 11pm GMT (12pm local time) on Friday 27 February.
