Napoli-Barcelona and Internazionale-Atlético Madrid are the hit pairings of the round of 16.

Last season's finalists Internazionale will meet Atlético Madrid in the quarterfinals of the soccer Champions League, whose program will feature the Napoli-Barcelona duel.

At the draw held on Monday at the headquarters of the European association in Nyon, it was also revealed that RB Leipzig, which also employs the two Hungarian national team players, Péter Gulácsi and Willi Orbán, will meet Real Madrid.

Defending champion Manchester City will face Danish FC Köbenhavn as their opponent, while Paris Saint-Germain, the biggest name among the runners-up in the group, can battle with Spanish Real Sociedad for a place in the top eight.

In the draw for the round of 16, the group leaders were drawn next to the group runners-up, so that teams from the same foursomes who advanced or from the same country could not meet.

The first matches of the round of 16 will be held on February 13-14 and 20-21, the return matches will take place on March 5-6 and 12-13.

The BL final will be held in London on June 1.
