Five-times champions Barcelona will face English champions Chelsea, one of five Premier league clubs in the draw. Tottenham Hotspur, who topped their group ahead of Real Madrid thanks to a 3-1 victory at Wembley, will face Serie A champions and last seasons’ runners-up Juventus. While Basel are a formidable side at home and have taken big English scalps in the Champions League before, Pep Guardiola’s side will be firm favourites to progress. Tottenham will face Juventus for the first time while Manchester United and Sevilla have also never met before. Bayern Munich will face Besiktas for the first time since winning 2-0 home and away in the 1997-98 group stage.
