Chelsea have been handed an exciting Champions League last-16 tie against Borussia Dortmund.
The Blues finished top of their group to set up their knockout draw against a second placed team and were pitted against Jude Bellingham's German club.
Dortmund have already played in England this tournament having been in a group with Manchester City. Edin Terzic's side lost 2-1 in the away game but managed a respectable 0-0 draw at Signal Iduna Park. It will be the first ever time the two sides have met and will also see former Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang return to Germany.

Bellingham has become a star in Bundesliga since joining in 2020 as a 17-year-old and is now expected to be at the centre of one of the biggest bidding wars next summer. Chelsea themselves are one of many interested parties in the England midfielder and could take the first chance they get to be around Bellingham to work on a possible deal.
The game will also see a return of Christian Pulisic to the club where he made his name as a teenager.
Here's how social media reacted to Chelsea's draw:
@CFCCentral3: Dortmund it is. Hopefully Bellingham gets a nice feeler of the Bridge that helps him make his mind up
@JacobsBen: Chelsea draw Dortmund. At least it’s a chance to escalate those Jude Bellingham talks…
@hburridge2: Relatively happy with Borussia Dortmund in the last 16. They will provide a tough test especially if Jude Bellingham is on the form he has been in the early months of the season. Another former club for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang too.
@RHv2i: Bellingham audition for 2023, fairs Uefa
@tshiamomoleko: We playing for that Bellingham signature
@Abobo99_: Setting it up so Boehly will negotiate for Bellingham during the match
@PavanCFC: Jude Bellingham on trial for his future club
@ScottyHayter: Beat them & take their number 22 on the way out.
@King8Kova: Bellingham about to slap us around but at least Boehly can have a meal with his reps
@fergie2804: Will be good to see Bellingham at the bridge before he signs for us next summer.
@Callum_758: Chelsea can beat Dortmund
@mymikyjr603: We shall see Bellingham destroy our midfield then we can see reasons to buy him
@fpl_san: Need to buy Bellingham on winter so we won’t have to face him
