UEFA Champions League Last 16 Draw: Manchester City Get Copenhagen, Arsenal Paired With Porto /

FC Copenhagen will face Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League's round of 16.

The Danish side qualified for the knockout stage by finishing ahead of Manchester United in Group A.

But Copenhagen only placed second in Group A, meaning that they were among the unseeded teams in Monday's draw.

Meanwhile, 2022/23 champions City were seeded after becoming only the 13th team in UCL history to end a group campaign with six wins out of six.

City and Copenhagen have faced each other previously on four occasions - with the English side winning 5-0 and 2-1 at home, and drawing 0-0 and 2-2 in Denmark.

Elsewhere in Monday's draw, Arsenal were paired with Porto.

The Gunners last met Porto in the round of 16 back in 2010 when the London side won 5-0 at home after losing 2-1 away.

Real Madrid will face RB Leipzig. Barcelona will take on Napoli.

Harry Kane's first European knockout tie as a Bayern Munich player will be against Lazio.

The first legs will be played on February 13, 14, 20 and 21, with the second legs taking place on March 5, 6, 12 and 13.

The teams that were drawn second were all seeded as group winners and will therefore play at home in the second leg.
