Biggest Round of 16 fixture: Liverpool vs PSG
One of the most anticipated clashes in this round is the battle between Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.
The two in-form clubs have a history of thrilling encounters, and this fixture is expected to be no different.
PSG, who barely made it into the knockout phase after finishing 15th in the league stage, will be hoping to make a deep run in the tournament.
Their last-minute resurgence saw them defeat Manchester City and dominate Brest 10-0 on aggregate in the playoffs.
With Ousmane Dembele in red-hot form, PSG will look to capitalise on any slip-up from Liverpool.
Liverpool, on the other hand, will aim to continue their impressive season under Arne Slot which puts them among the favourites to lift the title.
However, history is not on the Reds side as they have failed to win any of their last five away games against French clubs, with their last victory dating back to 2008 against Marseille.
Should they overcome PSG, a potential quarter-final matchup with Premier League rivals Aston Villa awaits.
