The UEFA Champions League 2024-25 edition has reached the round of 16 stages, with half of them finalised after the knockout phase playoffs that ended on February 19.
The fixtures will be confirmed at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland.

The fixtures in the pre-quarterfinals are primarily determined by a club’s final position in the league standings.

- England: Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa
- Spain: Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid
- France: Paris Saint-Germain, Lille
- Germany: Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund

How many UCLs does Liverpool have?
Liverpool has six UCL titles, two of which came after it was called the UEFA Champions League, in 2004/05 and 2018/19. It won four titles before that, when it was called the European Cup (1976/77, 1977/78, 1980/81, 1983/84).
Who can Liverpool face in UCL round of 16?
Liverpool, which finished top of the table, could only play the winners of either the 15th and 18th place playoff tie (Paris Saint-Germain which knocked out Brest) or 16th and 17th (Paris Saint-Germain which knocked out Brest) in the round of 16.
So, the Reds will face either Paris Saint-Germain [PSG] or Benfica in the round of 16.
