Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa will soon discover their opponents for the Champions League last-16 as the draw takes place today in Nyon, Switzerland.
With Manchester City’s unexpected exit earlier this week, just three Premier League teams remain in the competition. Meanwhile, Celtic’s European journey came to an end after a heartbreaking aggregate loss to Bayern Munich.
