Manchester City have been drawn to face Spanish champions Barcelona in the round of 16 of the Champions League. Arsenal also had a tough draw as they will have to face current holders Bayern Munich. Chelsea, winners in 2012, face Galatasaray while Manchester United meet Greek side Olympiakos. Elsewhere, AC Milan face Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen meet Paris St-Germain, Schalke face Real Madrid and Zenit St Petersburg will meet last year's runners-up Borussia Dortmund.
Chelsea and Manchester United will play the second leg at home after winning their groups, while City and Arsenal will have to play second legs of their ties away from home.
City's director of football Txiki Begiristain, who used to work at Barcelona, said: "They're two big teams, one with a lot of history and one is a new one coming. We're a team with a lot of confidence and after winning in Munich against the current champions it will give us a lot of confidence at home and away against Barcelona. Barcelona are champions many times but we are confident."
Arsenal won 2-0 at Bayern Munich in March but went out on away goals in last season's quarter-finals following a 3-1 defeat in the first leg, with the Germans going on to beat Dortmund in the final. Bayern have also managed to knock the Gunners out of the tournament on their two previous meetings. Manchester United seem to have enjoyed the easiest draw as they have won each of their four previous meetings with Olympiakos.
Here's how the outright odds at Bet365 have changed after the draw:
Bayern Munich - 9/4
Real Madrid - 4/1
Barcelona - 11/2
Borussia Dortmund - 12/1
Chelsea - 12/1
