The knockout stage of the Champions League is down to the final eight teams as Europe's best compete for survival in the world's biggest annual football event.
Manchester City, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and the defending champions Chelsea are among the favorites to reach the quarter-finals.
Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, and Benfica are the quarter-finals' surprise packages, having defeated Juventus, Manchester United, and Ajax, respectively. Three quarter-finalists are from Spain, and three are from England.
After the round of 16 has been completed and the quarter-finals have been determined, there will be a final draw to determine the line-up for the remainder of the competition and each club's path to lifting the trophy.
When will the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw take place?
The draw for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals will take place on Friday, March 18 at 22.00 AEDT.
The draw will be held at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland, and will be live streamed by UEFA.
While the draw will primarily define the quarter-final pairings, as only eight teams remain in the quarter-finals, it will also set the group for the remainder of the competition and eliminate the need for additional draws.
Once the quarter-final matches are determined, UEFA will hold the semi-final draw, which will determine each club and the opponents they will face in the remaining rounds.
The draw will conclude by determining which side of the bracket will be considered the 'home' team in the final for procedural purposes, despite the fact that the final will be held at a neutral location.
Which teams have advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals?
The round of 16 will conclude on March 16, with the teams that advance gradually being added to the list of teams included in the Champions League quarter-final draw.
