We now know the final 16 teams in the Champions League and they will learn their opponents in the draw on Friday.
The new format of the tournament saw a single league phase with the top eight going directly into the Round of 16.
They were Inter, Liverpool, Barcelona, Lille, Aston Villa, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal.
Another eight were chosen from the play-offs, where sadly Juventus, Milan and Atalanta were all eliminated.
The sides that got through were Club Brugge, Feyenoord, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and PSV Eindhoven.
Champions League Round of 16 draw
As the knockouts from here on in are in a bracket format, we already know a 50-50 chance of who will be paired next, although we must wait for Friday’s draw to be sure.
Inter will take on either Feyenoord or PSV Eindhoven.
The sides that went through directly into the Round of 16 are seeded, so will have the first leg played away and home advantage on the decider.
