UEFA Champions League 2023/24 round of 16 matches have been confirmed which will begin in February 2024.

Teams finishing top of their groups were drawn to the runner-ups from other groups. However, teams from the same country cannot face each other.

UCL Round of 16 matches: 

- FC Porto vs Arsenal FC 

- Napoli vs FC Barcelona

- Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Sociedad

- Inter Milan vs Atletico de Madrid

- PSV Eindhoven vs Borussia Dortmund

- Lazio vs Bayern Munich

- FC Copenhagen vs Manchester City

- RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid 

The group stage saw some of the most thrilling encounters which contributed to upsets as teams like Manchester United and AC Milan failed to qualify for the round of 16.

Real Madrid and Manchester City had a stellar group stage campaign as both powerhouses had a perfect record; six out of six wins and 18 points.

The round of 16 first legs will be held over two weeks. The first leg will take place on 13, 14, 20, and 21 February, meanwhile, the second leg is scheduled for 5, 6, 12, and 13 March.

This is the 69th season of Europe's elite club competition and the 32nd since it was renamed the UEFA Champions League.

The 2023-24 UEFA Champions League final will take place at London's historic Wembley Stadium.

Real Madrid have won the Champions League 14 times, which is the most in history. They are followed by AC Milan who have seven titles in their trophy cabinet.

Manchester City are the defending as Pep Guardiola’s men clinched the title in June 2023 after beating Inter Milan in a nail-biter courtesy of Rodri’s second-half strike that helped them claim their first European trophy.
