The draw for this year's knockout stages has now been made.

Arsenal have been handed a draw against Porto, who finished second in their group behind Barcelona.

The Gunners qualified for the round of 16 by picking up four victories from six matches.

They finished ahead of PSV Eindhoven, with Lens dropping into the Europa League and Sevilla crashing out of Europe altogether.

Porto picked up 12 points from their six matches, the same amount as Barcelona - who came top as a result of their head-to-head record.

Napoli have been drawn with Barcelona, while PSG will lock horns with Real Sociedad over two matches.

Inter Milan will go up against Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid as they look to make the final for the second year in a row.

PSV have been drawn with Borussia Dortmund, who impressed during the earlier stages of the competition.

Another intriguing tie will see Lazio and Bayern Munich face each other.

Harry Kane will be eager to shine in that fixture, having flourished since his summer move to the Allianz Arena.

City, who won the Champions League last season, will fancy their chances against Copenhagen.

The Danish side surprised many with their performances in the group stages.

But City should still be too strong for their opponents given the quality within their squad.

Completing the draw was a tie between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig.

Los Blancos have been stunning this season, with Jude Bellingham going from strength to strength since his move from Dortmund back in the summer.
