Manchester City will face a tough task if they wish to progress to the last eight of the Champions League as they were drawn against Spanish giants Barcelona.
The Blues beat Roma 2-0 in their final group game to reach the knockout phase after some initial difficulties but must now take on the mighty strikeforce of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez in their attempts to proceed any further.
Elsewhere, Jose Mourinho got the last 16 tie he wanted as his side were drawn against French giants Paris Saint-Germain, although it does give Zlatan Ibrahimovic the chance show his class to an English audience once more.
And Arsenal, arguably, got the easiest tie of the lot as they were paired with Ligue 1 outfit Monaco, who Arsene Wenger used to manage.
Champions League last 16 draw in full:
PSG v Chelsea
Manchester City v Barcelona
Bayer Leverkusen v Atletico Madrid
Juventus v Borussia Dortmund
Schalke 04 v Real Madrid
Shakhtar Donetsk v Bayern Munich
Arsenal v Monaco
Basel v FC Porto
Round of 16 first leg matches will be played on 17/18 and 24/25 February and the return matches on 10/11 and 17/18 March.
