Liverpool, Chelsea And City’s Possible Opponents In The Last 16 Of The Champions League

Liverpool have seven possible opponents in the last 16 of the Champions League. The Reds will be seeded after finishing top of their group, and that means they can only face those clubs who finished second.

Bundesliga sides Borussia Monchengladbach and RB Leipzig, Portuguese champions Porto, Serie A club Lazio, as well as Spanish trio Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla are the teams that the Reds can face.

In terms of the other English sides, Chelsea could face most of the same opponents, with the only difference being they can play Atalanta and not Sevilla.

After finishing top as well, Manchester City’s last 16 opponents could be Atalanta, Gladbach, Leipzig, Sevilla, Lazio, Atletico or Barcelona. It is important to point out clubs cannot play teams from the same country meaning there is a higher probability of facing some opponents than others.

In fact, there is a 14.23% possibility of seeing a repeat of last season’s last 16 clash between Liverpool and Atletico. We will find out who the Reds will face when the draw takes place on Monday.
