Champions League Draw 2016-17: Date, Time, Teams and Seeds for Round of 16

The business end of the UEFA Champions League is ready to commence, but European football's elite clubs must first find out who they will be playing in the round of 16.

Monday sees the draw for the competition's first knockout stage, with the group qualifiers ready to battle with the biggest teams from the continent.

England and Germany both have three representatives through to the last 16, but Spain will have four teams present.

Arsenal, Leicester City and Manchester City will represent the Premier League, while Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Sevilla will complete the Liga contingent.

They will be joined by Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen from the Bundesliga.

At this stage, clubs can’t be drawn with other teams from their own nation. Seeded group winners will play away in the first leg, giving them home advantage for the second leg.

The last 16 first legs are scheduled for February 14/15 and 21/22, and concluding second legs will be played on March 7/8 and 14/15.

Preview

Arsenal will be seeded in the next phase of the tournament after winning their group for the first time in five years, according to Tom Dutton of the London Evening Standard.

The Gunners were surprise winners of their group as Paris Saint-Germain failed to win their final match against minnows Ludogorets in the French capital.

Real Madrid failed to make the seeded pot of teams; Borussia Dortmund took the honours after a final-day 2-2 draw at the Bernabeu Stadium.

BVB set a new group-stage goalscoring record in the process as they found the net on 21 occasions in six games, per Squawka Football:

Many of the pre-tournament group favourites failed to top their standings, leaving seeded teams for the last 16 with little advantage.

ESPN FC's Gabriele Marcotti believes the seeding process is flawed, and that group winners need "new incentives."

Despite coming second to Dortmund, holders Real will be comfortable in the knowledge they cannot run into Barca or Atleti at this stage.

They could face Arsenal, PSG, Juventus, Leicester City, Monaco or Napoli; Each side will pose a different kind of challenge, but Los Blancos will believe they can beat any of them over a two-legged affair.

Leicester's European adventure continues, despite the defence of their Premier League title in tatters. 

The Foxes have looked anything but champions in the domestic scene, but they navigated their group with ruthless precision to qualify.

It is difficult to look past the talents of Barca's MSN trinity as thoughts turn towards who will win this season's trophy.

Lionel Messi remains as the best player in the world, only challenged by the legend of Cristiano Ronaldo, but when you add Luis Suarez and Neymar to the equation, it is difficult to bet against the Blaugrana in the latter stages.
