All the details about the Champions League last 16 draw
We know there will be a ball with FC Barcelona on it for the Champions League draw that will decide who the blaugranes will play in the last 16. We will also find out the route to the much desired final in Munich on 31 May should they get past the next knockout round. That's for later though, with PSG or Benfica still to overcome first.
PSG or Benfica to face Barça or Liverpool
The draw starting at 12.00pm CET on Friday 21 will decide whether the Catalans play the French or Portuguese side in the last 16. The remaining side from those two will play Liverpool, the other side in this part of the draw alongside Barça, having finished in first ahead of the blaugranes before this new Champions League draw format.
The road to Munich
Barça will also find out their route to a potential final appearance, in a change to previous editions. The draw will decide whether Barça go to the left/silver half or to the right/blue half for the remaining fixtures. The first games will involve the first leg of the match away at PSG or Benfica on 4/5 March, with the return home leg on 11/12 March in Barcelona.
Three draws in one
The draw will then continue as the quarterfinal and semifinal match order will be decided, i.e. which team will play at home in both legs. For example, whether the winner of Barça v PSG/Benfica are at home or away in the first or second leg of the quarterfinal.
The same procedure will also decide the semifinal match order, as this will be the final draw in this season's Champions League.
