Nyon (Swizerland), December 14: Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain will do battle in a repeat of their memorable UEFA Champions League last-16 tie from three years ago, while holders Bayern Munich were drawn against Lazio on Monday (December 14).

La Liga giants Barca became the first team in the competition's history to overturn a 0-4 first-leg deficit when they famously defeated PSG 6-1 in the return tie at the same stage in the 2016-17 season.

PSG were runners-up in a competition delayed by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic last term, and their conquerors Bayern were paired against Serie A side Lazio.
