Champions League draw: Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa learn fate

City face Sevilla as Arsenal prepare for Porto

Manchester City have been paired with Sevilla in the Champions League last 16, while Arsenal travel to Porto. Three-time winners Manchester United take on Barcelona in a repeat of the 2011 final, while Liverpool will face Inter Milan.

Manchester City v Sevilla

City are bidding to win a maiden Champions League title after years of near misses and they will be confident of progressing past Sevilla, who have not won a knockout tie in the competition since 2018.

Pep Guardiola's side will be heavily fancied to reach the quarter-finals, but Sevilla should not be underestimated. They are a well-organised and experienced side who have won the Europa League six times.

Arsenal v Porto

Arsenal have a good record against Porto, having won four of their six meetings. However, the Portuguese side are always dangerous opponents and they will be looking to make a statement in this tie.

Mikel Arteta's side will need to be at their best to overcome Porto, but they will be confident of reaching the quarter-finals if they can play to their potential.

Manchester United v Barcelona

Manchester United and Barcelona have a long and storied history in the Champions League, with the two clubs having met in three finals. United won the most recent meeting in 2011, but Barcelona have the better overall record.

Erik ten Hag's side will need to be at their best to overcome Barcelona, but they will be confident of reaching the quarter-finals if they can play to their potential.

Liverpool v Inter Milan

Liverpool are one of the favourites to win the Champions League this season, and they will be confident of progressing past Inter Milan. The Italian side are a good side, but they are not at the same level as Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's side will be looking to make a statement in this tie, and they will be confident of reaching the quarter-finals if they can play to their potential.

Conclusion

The Champions League draw has thrown up some intriguing ties. Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United will all be confident of reaching the quarter-finals, but they will need to be at their best to overcome their opponents.
