Real Madrid face Schalke and Chelsea PSG in Champions League last 16

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea were drawn on Monday against Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City will tackle Barcelona in two blockbuster Champions League last-16 ties. Holders Real Madrid were given a palatable pairing against German side Schalke 04, and last year’s beaten finalists Atletico Madrid come up against Bayer Leverkusen. Arsenal, finalists in 2006, face Monaco, Italian champions Juventus will have to overcome Borussia Dortmund, and German giants Bayern Munich, who beat Borussia in the 2013 final, play Shakhtar Donetsk.

Every tie in that draw is the same, it’s fantastic, so we’re looking forward to it.
