Champions League last 16 match verdicts
Liverpool v Real Madrid
Odds to qualify: 9/10 | 9/10 - (Tuesday 21 Feb / Wednesday 15 March)
What a tie this is as we get a repeat of June's final with Liverpool desperate to finally get one over on Real Madrid after losing two finals to them in four years.
Liverpool finished level on 15 points with Napoli in Group A - only Bayern Munich won more. Their 4-1 opening game loss in Naples saw them finish behind the Italians - who they beat in the last game to round off another solid progression for the six-time winners.
Mohamed Salah is the joint-top scorer in the competition after bagging the quickest Champions League hat-trick ever at Rangers, and with him around they'll always be dangerous.
The holders drew at Shakhtar Donetsk and lost at RB Leipzig but qualified well enough, scoring 15 goals even with Karim Benzema's injury. Conceding six though in their group showed their defence may not be as good as it was.
Carlo Ancelotti has beaten Klopp a few times though and seems to have his number.
RB Leipzig v Man City
Odds to qualify: 9/2 | 1/7 (Wednesday 22 February / Tuesday 14 March)
Champions League favourites City have had a bit of a result with the draw, pulling out RB Leipzig while two of Liverpool, Real Madrid, Bayern and PSG will go out.
Pep Guardiola always plays it down but this is the one he really wants, and perhaps needs to win with Man City, and that's exactly why they brought Erling Haaland to the Etihad - to win tight knockout games when it matters.
Christopher Nkunku scored a hat-trick in a 6-3 defeat on Leipzig's last trip to the Etihad last September before the Bundesliga side beat 10-man City 2-1 in Germany in their other group tie. There should be plenty of goals in this one.
PSG v Bayern Munich
Odds to qualify: 5/4 | 8/13 (Tues 14 Feb / Weds 8 March)
It was a big statement performance from Bayern having been drawn with Inter Milan and Barcelona and promptly winning all six - scoring 18, conceding just two and sending Barca and Robert Lewandowski tumbling into the Europa League.
Sadio Mane joined Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane in an exciting fluid attack in the early stages, while Eric Choupo-Moting also scored three times. And watch out for Young Jamal Musiala, who starred for Germany at the World Cup.
PSG missed out on top spot on away goals to Benfica after finishing dead level in everything else, but current Champions League joint-top scorer Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and of course Lionel Messi will always believe they can win any game.
They will likely walk away with the French league title again so will be able to rest their stars when needed - although having such an easy league hasn't helped them to win this yet despite the riches being ploughed into the club over the years.
AC Milan v Tottenham
Odds to qualify: 11/8 | 4/7 (Tues 14 Feb / Weds 8 March)
It was a real rollercoaster for Spurs who were out of the competition when trailing in Marseille in their final game, but turned it right around to end up coming top of the group.
Their reward is playing the second leg at home and a familiar foe for Antonio Conte so this should be a decent tie for him to work his Italian magic on - expect him to play his usual defensive style, especially in the first leg.
Fikayo Tomori had two shockers against Chelsea in the group stages so the England defender will hope to have a much better time of things, while former Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud will be fired up to get one over on his former derby rivals.
If the current Spurs are anything to go by, go low on goals in the first leg at the San Siro before all hell breaking loose back in north London.
Borussia Dortmund v Chelsea
Odds to qualify: 13/8 | 4/9 (Weds 15 Feb/ Tues 7 March)
Chelsea topped their group but this will be brand new territory for Graham Potter.
Chelsea have spent huge sums recently and Potter's inexperience at this high level will see him severely tested by this tie. Especially in the first leg in front of the Yellow Wall in Dortmund, one of the fiercest away days you can find in Europe.
Dortmund are back on track in the Bundesliga and Jude Bellingham is a leader in the team despite being so young.
There are plenty of other talented youngsters including Youssoufa Moukoko, Gio Reyna and Karim Adeyemi who will all be a handful.
Eintracht Frankfurt v Napoli
Odds to qualify: 12/5 | 3/10 (Tues 21 Feb / Weds 15 March)
If Napoli are still in the same form as they were through the group stages then this could be a walkover, as they powered through as the top scorers in the tournament.
They battered Liverpool 4-1 in their opener in Naples, and although they lost at Anfield they were already through so won't lose too much sleep over that.
They top the Serie A table, firing in goals from all angles and will surely be far too strong for Europa League champions Eintracht.
The Germans sneaked through behind Tottenham on that eventful final day but it looks like that's as far as they'll manage this season.
Inter Milan v Porto
Odds to qualify: 8/11 | 11/10 (Weds 22 Feb / Tues 14 March)
It looks a great draw on paper for Inter but Porto did manage to come top of their group ahead of Club Brugge in a big surprise section.
Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen are not the best this season though, so perhaps it's a bit of a false position.
Inter have been inconsistent in Serie A which has allowed Napoli to open such a big lead, but did beat Bayern and finished behind them and above Barcelona in a really tough group.
They both conceded seven goals in the group stages and scored 22 between them so we should see a few here.
Club Brugge v Benfica
Odds to qualify: 5/2 | 2/7 (Weds 15 Feb/ Tues 7 March)
This one won't be circled on too many calendars but it's a huge draw for both of these sides - especially Brugge who shocked many when coming second in their group above Atletic and Bayer Leverkusen.
1978 runners-up Brugge will not be fazed by this and having won 4-0 in Porto they'll be just as dangerous on the road as at home - as Real Madrid discovered a couple of years ago.
No Darwin Nunez, no problem for Benfica who finished unbeaten in a group containing PSG and Juventus and actually topped the standings thanks to away goals after finishing with the exact same record as the French giants.
After that performance though, Benfica will need to take care not to approach this tie with too much confidence.

How did the Champions League round of 16 draw work?
The draw featured 16 teams split into two pots, with the winners of the groups being seeded and the runners-up going int othe unseeded pots.
The eight group winners will all play away in the first leg and enjoy home advantage in the crucial second legs.
Country protection is still in operation, so teams cannot play someone from their own league, and you can't play the other team that qualified from your group.
