Liverpool will take on Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of this season’s Champions League after the teams were paired together in Friday’s draw.
Recall that the English side finished first in the 36-team league phase of the competition to qualify directly for this stage, while PSG had to come through a two-legged play-off tie in which they crushed fellow French side Brest 10-0 on aggregate.
The first leg will take place at the Parc des Princes in Paris on March 4 or 5, with the return at Anfield a week later.
The clubs last met in the Champions League in the group stage in 2018/19, when PSG won 2-1 at home after Liverpool triumphed 3-2 in England.
Meanwhile, defending champions Real Madrid will play city rivals Atletico Madrid in a repeat of the finals of 2014 and 2016.
Bayern Munich will take on German rivals Bayer Leverkusen, while Arsenal face PSV Eindhoven and Inter Milan take on Feyenoord, who are fresh from knocking out AC Milan in the play-offs.
Barcelona will face Benfica, who they defeated 5-4 away in Lisbon in the league phase last month.
The two-legged last 16 ties will be played on 4-5 March and 11-12 March.
