When is the Champions League last-16 draw? Which teams have reached the knockout stages?
Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham Hotspur have finished top of their groups while Liverpool came second to Napoli in their pool. Both clubs had five wins and one defeat from their six games but the Serie A side will go into the knockout draw as group winners because of a superior head-to-head record.
The eight group winners will be drawn against the runners-up when the draw takes place next week, with the seeded teams playing at home in the second leg. The away goals rule no longer applies, having been scrapped for last season’s tournament.
