Holder and Spanish League leader Barcelona will play Premier League leader Arsenal in the last 16 of the Champions League, 10 years after the sides faced each other in the final, following Monday's draw for the first knockout stage.

Chelsea, which is enduring a torrid time in the Premier League, will face French league leader Paris Saint-Germain in the knockout stages for the third year in succession after the French champions triumphed at the same stage last season and the London club had the upper hand in the quarterfinals the previous year.
