The draw for these Champions League knockouts took place on Monday, December 14, 2020, in Nyon (Switzerland), at UEFA headquarters. PSG have not been spared as they will face FC Barcelona, the most formidable team in the 2nd cap.

A few days after the end of the pool stages of the most prestigious European competition, the sixteen teams that got their tickets for the next round already know their opponents. And for these meetings that will be played on February 16, 17, 23 and 24, 2021 for the goings on, and on March 9, 10, 16 and 17 for the returns, there is very heavy !

We think of this clash between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona. A classic in Europe now, with increasing tensions between the clubs, and this famous remontada that no one forgets. But since then, the capital club seems to have progressed, where the Catalans have regressed… We will be particularly attentive to Neymar, whom Barca want to repatriate for a long time, as well as to Lionel Messi, whom PSG could be tempted to go for this summer.

Mouth-watering eighties !

The other big shock of these eighth finals is none other than the duel between Atlético de Madrid and Chelsea. Big favourite to lift the trophy for a second time in a row, Bayern Munich had a relatively lenient draw, as the Bavarians will face Lazio. For his part, Real Madrid, who came close to disaster during the pool stage, fell on Atalanta.

We will also note this beautiful poster between Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund, while Juventus scooped a rather favorable draw with Porto. Finally, Manchester City will have to get Gladbach out of their way to move forward in their long-awaited quest for a European title. Liverpool, Champions in 2019, will have a lot to do with this double opposition against RB Leipzig.
