Manchester City are looking to defend the Champions League this season

Holders Manchester City will face FC Copenhagen in the Champions League last 16, with Arsenal drawn against Porto.

Danish side Copenhagen, who finished second in a group featuring Bayern Munich, Galatasaray and Manchester United, will head back to Manchaster to tackle Pep Guardiola's Treble winners.

The Gunners also avoided a potential clash with Paris Saint-Germain and last season's finalists Inter Milan to be paired with Porto, who are currently third in the Portuguese league.

Instead, PSG go head-to-head with Real Sociedad, who are making their first appearance in the knockout phase since 2004.

Real Madrid and Bayern have also been handed relatively kind draws as they face RB Leipzig and Lazio respectively.

Barcelona's task in their first Champions League knockout appearance for three years is a difficult clash against Italian champions Napoli.

An intriguing encounter sees Inter take on Atletico Madrid, with Atleti boss Diego Simeone facing the side he spent two years with as a player.

Completing the draw is a tie between Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven and German outfit Borussia Dortmund.

The first legs will take place in the second and third weeks of February, with the return clashes in early March.
