Arsenal will take on FC Porto in the last 16 of this season's Champions League, while Manchester City will take on Copenhagen after the draw was completed on Monday.

Draw underway

Chelsea legend John Terry is on hand to draw the teams, and we're underway in Nyon.

Unseeded teams will be drawn first, with the seeded (group winner) teams at home for the second leg.

...And following him on to the stage is UEFA deputy general secretary Giorgio Marchetti. Now it feels like a Champions League draw.

Almost time for the draw

We're now going live to UEFA's main headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where - you guessed it - Pedro Pinto is ready to present the action. It isn't a Champions League draw without him.

How does the draw work?

Most reading this will know the drill for Champions League draws, but here's a quick run-through of how the draw today will work.

The seeded teams (those that won their groups) are drawn against the unseeded teams - so Arsenal will avoid playing Bayern Munich, for instance.

Teams from the same confederation, meanwhile, cannot face other, even if they are in different pots. There are only two ties that cannot be drawn via this metric, though, with group winners Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich unable to face runners-up RB Leipzig at this stage.

Who is in the draw?

Unlike previous years, only two English clubs - Arsenal and Manchester City - are in the draw.

Manchester United and Newcastle both got knocked out in the group stage, and finishing bottom of their groups mean they don't drop down into the Europa League.

Spain has four representatives, with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad all making it through.

Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig made it through for Germany, while Danish side FC Copenhagen are one of the underdogs despite beating United in the group stage.

Full list of teams in the draw:

Group winners

  • Bayern Munich
  • Arsenal
  • Real Madrid
  • Real Sociedad
  • Atletico Madrid
  • Borussia Dortmund
  • Manchester City
  • Barcelona

Group runners-up

  • Copenhagen
  • PSV
