Who Chelsea can play in the Champions League Round of 16
From the official Chelsea FC website:
Four potential opponents await Chelsea in the Champions League Round of 16, but the Blues have to wait until the end of February to discover who we will face.
An impressive 3-2 victory on Wednesday evening against Napoli – courtesy of an Enzo Fernandez penalty and Joao Pedro‘s brace – ensured the Blues secured a sixth-place finish in the league phase table.
That meant we bypassed the knockout stage play-offs, the draw for which took place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, this morning.
Based upon the final league phase standings, four possible opponents lie in store for the Blues: AS Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, Qarabag and Newcastle United.
Those sides were paired together in the play-off draw this morning, with an all-French tie between PSG and Monaco drawn and Newcastle pitted against Qarabag.
The winners of those ties will progress to the Round of 16 – and the Blues will discover which club we will face in a draw held on February 27.
