How does the Champions League last 16 draw work?

The draw for the last 16 of the Champions League will be a seeded draw and the winners of the eight groups will be seeded. The eight group runners-up will be unseeded.

Group winners, or seeded teams, will be away for the first-leg matches, which are scheduled for February 13/14 and 19/20, with the second-leg games due to be played on March 5/6 and 12/13.

Teams from the same group or national association cannot be drawn against one another, so, for example, Liverpool cannot be drawn against the likes of Manchester United.

However, that will change for the quarter-final draw, which will be an open draw.
