Our predicted winner for each last-16 match

Manchester City will face Real Madrid for the 10th and 11th time in just five seasons after being drawn against the Spanish giants in the Champions League round of 16.

The clash between City and Real is one of the showpiece ties of the knockout stages, alongside Chelsea’s meeting with Paris St-Germain, the holders.

The French side will be looking for revenge against Chelsea after they were thrashed by the Premier League team in last summer’s Club World Cup final.

Newcastle United will face Barcelona again, having already lost 2-1 to Hansi Flick’s side in the league phase of the competition, while Tottenham Hotspur have been drawn against Atletico Madrid.

Liverpool will meet Galatasaray, who defeated Juventus in the play-off round, for the second time in this season’s Champions League. Liverpool lost 1-0 in Turkey in September.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will face German side Bayer Leverkusen, who defeated Olympiacos in the play-off rounds.

First-round ties will be held on March 10-11. The return legs will be on March 17-18.

Meanwhile in the Europa League, Nottingham Forest take on Denmark’s Midtjylland while Aston Villa have been drawn against Lille.

Last 16 predictions: Only two English clubs to go through

PSG v Chelsea
Arguably the tie of the round. Chelsea stunned PSG, the reigning European champions, in last summer’s Club World Cup final, winning 3-0 in the United States. Can they repeat the trick over two legs? It’s a tough ask, given the attacking firepower and midfield class of the French side. Luis Enrique knows how to navigate these occasions. Verdict: PSG progress.

Galatasaray v Liverpool
Liverpool lost 1-0 away to Galatasaray earlier in the competition but will feel confident of exacting revenge on the Turkish side. The biggest threat to Arne Slot’s team will be Victor Osimhen, scorer of 23 goals for club and country this season, but Liverpool should have enough. Verdict: Liverpool progress.

Real Madrid v Manchester City
Are you bored of this contest yet? As a match-up, it has certainly lost some of its appeal to neutrals, given the regularity with which it is played. City won in Madrid earlier this season at a time when head coach Xabi Alonso was under huge pressure. Alonso has since been sacked, though, and Real now look a little more sturdy. Verdict: Real progress.

Atalanta v Bayern Munich
Atalanta stunned Borussia Dortmund in the play-offs, winning in dramatic fashion, but surely will not be able to stop the mighty Bayern from progressing. Bayern are eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and have Harry Kane in absurdly good form: he has scored nine goals in his last six matches. Verdict: Bayern progress.

Newcastle United v Barcelona
Newcastle are capable of rattling any opponent, especially at home. Barcelona will have no fear, though, after winning 2-1 at St James’ Park in September. The La Liga leaders displayed intelligence and technique that Newcastle could not match, and they will expect to do so again over two legs. Verdict: Barcelona progress.

Atletico Madrid v Tottenham Hotspur
For Spurs, the Champions League has been a welcome distraction from their struggles in the Premier League this season. A meeting with Atletico might not be so enjoyable, especially given their injury issues and the need to focus on domestic survival. This is not a brilliant Atletico team but they are usually horrible opponents. Verdict: Atletico progress.

Bodo/Glimt v Sporting CP
Bodo/Glimt have been the story of the season in European football, winning matches against City, Atletico and Inter Milan since the turn of the year. It has been an extraordinary run and this is, on paper at least, another winnable tie. Sporting are second in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, four points behind Porto. Verdict: The Bodo/Glimt fairytale continues.

Bayer Leverkusen v Arsenal
This appears to be a lovely draw for Arsenal, who dominated the league phase of the competition. Leverkusen are sixth in the Bundesliga, more than 20 points off the top, and have been inconsistent all season. Verdict: Arsenal progress.
