The Champions League returns this week as the knockout stages of the competition begin with the last-16.

Defending champions Manchester City are in action on Tuesday as they take on FC Copenhagen, who stunned Manchester United in the group stages to reach the two-legged knockout rounds.

Arsenal qualified as group winners after making an impressive return to Europe’s top club competition and will travel to Porto before hosting their first Champions League knockout tie in seven years at the Emirates next month.

There will be a clash between the Spanish champions and the Italian champions when Barcelona meet Napoli, while Paris Saint-Germain avoided a heavyweight draw after finishing as runners-up in Group G and were paired with Real Sociedad.

Last season’s runners-up Inter Milan will take on Atletico Madrid, themselves defeated finalists in 2014 and 2016, PSV will meet Borussia Dortmund and Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich face Lazio. Real Madrid will play RB Leipzig.
