Bayern Munich will meet Atalanta Bergamo in the Champions League round‑of‑16, while Bayer Leverkusen is set to play Arsenal. The draw took place on Friday in Nyon. For the Northern Italians, the record‑holding club is already the third German opponent in this edition of the competition. In the knockout phase, Bergamo knocked out Borussia Dortmund, and earlier in the group stage at Frankfurt, Atalanta had already seen success.
For Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal presents a real heavyweight challenge. The Londoners have not conceded a single point in the current Champions League campaign. If the Rhine‑side club can still progress, the quarter‑finals would pit them against either Bodø/Glimt or Sporting Lisbon. Bayern’s next potential opponent would be either Real Madrid or Manchester City.
Other match‑ups include Paris Saint‑Germain versus Chelsea, Galatasaray versus Liverpool, Newcastle United versus Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid versus Tottenham Hotspur.
