Liverpool is set to take on PSG in a blockbuster last-16 Champions League tie as all three English sides were drawn on the same side of the competition.

The draw for the last-16 stage took place on Friday morning with the eight teams who won their knockout play-off ties joining the top eight sides from the League Phase table.

Those eight teams – Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, Lille and Aston Villa – automatically progressed to the last-16 thanks to their performances earlier in the competition.

They were joined by Real Madrid, PSG, Club Brugge, PSV, Feyenoord, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Benfica, while Friday’s draw also decided which half of the draw teams go into for the rest of the competition, meaning they can plot their routes to the final.

Liverpool v PSG

And, at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland, the fate of all 16 sides in the Champions League was decided. 

Liverpool is faced with an eye-watering clash against PSG after the French side knocked out Brest 10-0 on aggregate in the play-off round.

Aston Villa were drawn against Club Brugge, a team they met in the League Phase and lost 1-0 to, but Unai Emery’s side are in the same section as the Reds.

This means that if both teams were successful in their last-16 ties, they would then meet in the quarter-finals in an all-English tie.

Arsenal v PSV

Meanwhile, Arsenal have been drawn against PSV, who join Feyenoord as one of two Dutch teams in the last-16 stage.

They have been plotted on the same path as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid for a potential quarter-final clash.

Given they are on the same half of the draw, the Gunners could meet Liverpool or Villa in the semi-final, although they would have to defeat Real or Atletico in the quarter-final if they were successful against PSV.

Mikel Arteta’s side faced the Dutch side in the group stage of last season’s competition, winning 4-0 at home and drawing 1-1 away before Bayern Munich knocked them out in the quarter-finals. 

Meanwhile, German sides Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen take on each other, while Feyenoord face Inter Milan.

Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund were drawn against Lille, while Benfica will come up against Barcelona.
