Complete guide to the 7 clubs Roma could face in Round of 16

The draw for the knock-out stage of the Champions League will be held at 12:00 CET in Nyon, Switzerland. Here’s all you need to know…

In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners are seeded and the eight group runners-up – including Roma - are unseeded.

The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams but clubs from the same group cannot meet each other – which rules out another tie with Barcelona.

The first legs will be played on 16, 17, 23 and 24 February 2016 with Roma playing the first leg at home at Stadio Olimpico.

Roma will be away for the second leg, with ties played on 8, 9, 15 and 16 March.
