Tottenham Hotspur’s reward for topping the Champions League 'group of death' is a tough tie against Juventus in the last-16, but there were even more mouth-watering ties elsewhere.

Defending champions Real Madrid will face French big-hitters Paris Saint-Germain in the stand-out fixture of the round, while Chelsea suffered a harsh punishment for finishing second in their group as they were drawn against Barcelona.
Champions League draw
While Chelsea's draw will not please Antonio Conte and the Stamford Bridge hierarchy, the tie does evoke positive memories for the west London club. In their last seven Champions League games against Barcelona Chelsea have not lost once (two wins and five draws) while Lionel Messi has never scored in eight appearances against the Blues - his worst record against any club.
Tottenham versus Juventus will see Wembley host another of Europe's biggest clubs, following the group stage fixtures against Borussia Dortmund, but it was better news for the other Premier League representatives.
Manchester City received arguably the kindest draw in FC Basel, while Manchester United will expect to progress against Sevilla. Porto's defensive solidity and strength in the air could cause Liverpool problems, but Jurgen Klopp's side will still be hopeful of reaching the quarter-finals.
The two-legged ties will be held in February and March of 2018. The first legs will be split over the weeks of 13th-14th and 20th-21st February and the second legs will be held on the 6th-7th and 13th-14th of March.
