The Round of 16 UEFA Champions League draw has been made, and there are some absolutely tantalizing matches. The fact that PSG and Liverpool finished second in their respective groups was always going to cause some issues, and both teams have a significant amount of work to do to advance to the quarterfinals.
Lionel Messi and company will have to overcome Bayern Munich, while Liverpool will face Real Madrid, the Champions League’s most successful team, in a rematch of the 2022 final. Antonio Conte will play the Italian team against which he has won the most games (10) in his coaching career in an AC Milan vs. Tottenham match, while Chelsea will play Borussia Dortmund over two legs.
The first legs of the 2022–23 Champions League’s last-16 round are scheduled for February 14, 15, 21, and 22. The returns are scheduled for March 7, 8, 14, and 15. The quarter-final and semi-final draw will take place on 17 March. The identities of the semi-finalists will not be known at the time of the draw, as the quarter-finals will take place afterwards in April.
The semi-finals will be held on May 9, 10, 16, and 17, and the quarter-finals on April 11, 12, and 19. On June 10, the final will be held at Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympic Stadium.
