Champions League Round of 16: How to watch; who will Chelsea face?

Time to find out Chelsea’s fate for the Champions League Round of 16. UEFA will conduct the draw at 12pm CET (11am GMT; 6am EST), with Chelsea, as an unseeded team after finishing second in the group, looking at five possible opponents out of the eight groups winners.

1. Barcelona (23% chance) — A rematch of the last time we were here, two years ago, when Messi finally scored against Chelsea, Courtois learned what a nutmeg was, and Willian hit the post a lot.
2. Juventus (22% chance) — The Sarri Derby. The narrative’s choice.
3. Bayern (19% chance) — Bayern are doing terribly in the league, but are doing just fine in Europe. Hudson-Odoi might relish this opportunity to become good again.
4. PSG (18% chance) — ugh, not again.
5. RB Leipzig (18% chance) — the hipster’s choice

We cannot face Manchester City, Liverpool, or Valencia.

The draw will be on BT Sport 1 (UK) and B/R Live and TUDN (USA) and their associated streaming services. (For other countries, click here.) It will also be available streaming for free on UEFA’s official website.
