UCL draw: Madrid get Liverpool

Bengaluru, Nov 7: The UEFA Champions League 2022-23 round of 16 draws are finally out and Liverpool have been paired with Real Madrid in a repeat of last season's Champions League final. The UCL 2022-23 draws were held on Monday (November 7) at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Madrid reached the knockout stages as Group F winners, an outcome they will have been hoping would secure them a favourable tie. But by being paired with Liverpool, Carlo Ancelotti's men were given arguably the hardest draw possible.

Chelsea will face Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 16. It will mean that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Christian Pulisic will face their former club.

Italian giants AC Milan will battle it out against Premier League's Tottenham Hotspur. Bundesliga club RB Leipzig have been drawn with Premier League 2021-22 champions Manchester City.

Belgian pro-league Club Brugge will lock horns with Portuguese football club SL Benfica. Frankfurt have been pitted against Napoli while Inter Milan will take on Porto. French Ligue giants Paris Saint-Germain will lock horns with Bayern Munich.
