On which channel to see the draw?
The Champions League dams made their verdict on Tuesday and Wednesday, qualifying eight new teams for the continuation of the competition. So now place in the knockout stages of this 2024-2025 edition, whose draw will be carried out this Friday, February 21 from 12 noon, at UEFA headquarters in Nyon (Switzerland). An event to follow live on Canal+, available in streaming on the MyCanal platform, but also on the UEFA website.
What will be the posters of the round of 16?
If it is necessary to wait for the middle of the day to know the posters of the knockout stages, the sixteen clubs still in the run already know what to expect. PSG, which eliminated Brest in a play-off (10-0 on all two matches), will necessarily face Liverpool or FC Barcelona, ​​which qualified by finishing in the Top 8 after the phase of league. A very large song, therefore, for Luis Enrique players.
Lille, who qualified without going through the dams, also has two potential opponents: the Bruges club, which has just dismissed Atalanta Bergame, or Borussia Dortmund, which logically got rid of Sporting Portugal. The simplest obviously for the DOGUES would be to come across Belgian training. This scenario would then make them enter the same part of the painting as Paris Saint-Germain, which they could meet in the quarterfinals.
