The Champions League round of 16 draw has been announced at UEFA's headquarters.
Liverpool face holders Real Madrid in the pick of the Champions League round of 16 ties.
It's the repeat of last season's final where the La Liga giants beat the Premier League side to claim their 14th European title.
Real topped Group F having lost one game in the group stage round, while Liverpool finished behind Napoli on head-to-head.
The other blockbuster showdown sees Paris Saint-Germain face off against Bayern Munich.
Both PSG and Bayern secured passage to the knockout stage without losing a group stage game.

Manchester City meet RB Leipzig, Tottenham take on AC Milan while Chelsea clash with Borussia Dortmund.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Napoli, Club Brugge, vs. Benfica and Inter Milan vs. Porto make up this season's round of 16 draw.
