Here are all the details ahead of the draw.

When is the Champions League last-16 draw?

The draw for the last 16 will take place on Monday, December 18 at 11am GMT/6am ET/3am ET.

It will take place at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland.

What are the rules for the last-16 draw?

The eight teams that have progressed to the knockouts as group winners will be seeded in the last-16 draw, while the eight runners up are unseeded.

Each tie will consist of one seeded team and one unseeded one.

This is the final stage of the competition where teams from the same country cannot be drawn against each other. For example, Bayern Munich who won Group A, cannot meet RB Leipzig, who came second in Group G, in the last 16.

From the quarter-finals onwards, that restriction is lifted.
