Champions League schedule for knockout rounds 2023/2024: Dates, fixtures and Games. Champions League Round of 16 draw.
The UEFA Champions League has entered its crucial knockout phase with 16 teams remaining out of the initial 32 that entered the group stage. Notable teams like Manchester United have already been eliminated, making way for surprises like Copenhagen and Real Sociedad to advance further in the competition.
The Round of 16 draw, held on December 18, determined the matchups for the upcoming matches in February 2024. Reigning champions Manchester City will face Copenhagen, the unexpected team that eliminated Manchester United in the group stage. Real Madrid is set to clash with RB Leipzig, while Barcelona faces a challenging opponent in Serie A champions Napoli.
The Round of 16 draw ensures that teams from the same country cannot compete against each other, and squads that were in the same group during the group stage cannot be paired against each other in this round. This regulation is lifted in the quarterfinal stage of the tournament. The excitement is building as the competition progresses towards crowning the champion of the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League.
