The draw for the eighth finals of the Champions League produced some nice posters on Monday afternoon. FC Barcelona has to deal with Italian champion Napoli, while RB Leipzig awaits a tough meeting with Real Madrid. Defending champion Manchester City will face Copenhagen, where last year's finalist Internazionale will meet Diego Simeone's Atlético Madrid.

All group winners play the first leg and complete the diptych at home. Clubs from the same country or teams that were together in the group stage could not draw each other in the round of 16.

Arsenal, which finished at the top of PSV's group, will face FC Porto. The reigning Italian champions Napoli now have to deal with FC Barcelona.

Paris Saint-Germain, which advanced to the group stage after a crazy denouement, will face Real Sociedad, while last year's finalist Inter awaits a diptych with Atlético Madrid.

PSV takes on Borussia Dortmund, where Manchester City seems to face a seemingly simple opponent in FC Copenhagen. After all, Xavi Simons and Loïs Openda must try to shake off record champion Real Madrid with Leipzig.
