Champions League draw LIVE: Arsenal handed HORROR draw as Aston Villa and Liverpool learn round of 16 fate – updates

Wrong competition?

Unai Emery is looking to win the Champions League with Aston Villa, but already has huge European pedigree.

Emery has won the Europa League FOUR times, the most by a manager in history, but never the Champions League.

Can he do it for the first time?

Scores to settle

The Champions League website has Liverpool and PSG tied at one game a piece, with both games coming in the 2018/19 group stage.

Liverpool won the first game 3-2 at Anfield, and then PSG won 2-1 in Paris.

Something has to give as they do battle in the round of 16.

Aston Villa's first meeting with Brugge

Aston Villa have made a good account of themselves in the Champions League this season, and will face Club Brugge for the first time in the competition.

Emery's side finished in the top eight, and qualified automatically for the round of 16.

They will be hoping to add two wins over Brugge to their record.

Not pretty for the English

Liverpool and Arsenal both have tough draws in the Champions League knockouts.

Described as a "horror draw," Liverpool and Arsenal have their work cut out for them if they want to win the Champions League.

LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN

Champions League draw hands Arsenal and Liverpool horror route to final

Gunner be tough

Arsenal fans are not excited about their prosepcts in the Champions League knockouts.

Should they get beyond PSV, they will face either Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid, then either Liverpool, PSG, Aston Villa or Club Brugge in the semi-finals.

Ouch.

GUNNER BE TOUGH

'Rigged' say fans as Champions League draw sees Arsenal handed horror route

It's been ages!

According to X user OptaJoe, this will be the first meeting between Liverpool and PSG in a major European knockout since the semi-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup in 1996/97.

Of course, the two sides have met in the group stages since then.

The all-English quarter-final potential

There is potential for an all-English quarter-final in the next round.

Arne Slot's Liverpool recently went to Villa Park, and were held to a 2-2 draw by Unai Emery's side.

If Liverpool were to get past PSG, and Aston Villa were to get past Club Brugge, then they would meet in the quarter-final.

Arsenal's record vs PSV

According to OptaJoe on X, Arsenal are unbeaten in all of their home matches against PSV (3W 2D).

This also happens to be the longest they have played against a side in European competition without losing.

The BIG derbies to look out for!

Real and Atletico Madrid had some HUGE Champions League battles throughout the 2010's, meeting in two finals.

They also met once in the semi-finals, and one in the quarter-finals.

On every occasion, Real Madrid got the better of their bitter rivals.

Those two being drawn against each other also means the Bundesliga has a HUGE clash, as Bayer Leverkusen take on Bayern Munich.

Bayern won 11 straight Bundesliga titles, but were toppled by Bayer Leverkusen last season, and the two now meet in the Champions League.

Both ties promise to be entertainers!

El Classico final?

Barcelona and Real Madrid seems to be what people are looking at for the final after the round of 16 draw.

One user on X (FKA Twitter) said "I speak for all Barcelona fans when I say it's coming home,"

And another user said "Never bet against Real Madrid.";

The two have been drawn on opposite sides of the draw, and would only meet in the final.
