7 out of 8. This is the result of the teams qualified in first place in their group who managed to advance to the round of 16. The only exception is Paris Saint-Germain, who had the lucky hand in the previous draw by inheriting Real Sociedad. The capital club, often unhappy in the round of 16 draw, did not miss the opportunity to join the European elite to claim its first quarter-final in 3 years.
Which opponent awaits him now? We will find out in the next few minutes, as the set brings together big names. Manchester City, the outgoing winner, Real Madrid and its 14 trophies, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. Clearly, it is the German club which looks like the most affordable draw, for each of the clubs present. Remember that this is now a completely open draw. There is no seeding or protection by country. Teams can meet opponents already faced in the group stage or from the same championship.
