The UEFA Champions League round of 16, quarterfinal and semifinal draws take place on Friday as Europe's leading soccer competition takes its final form for this season. The top eight teams from the league phase led by Liverpool and Barcelona qualified automatically for the round of 16 while eight teams have emerged from the knockout round playoffs which are part of this year's new format.

The new-look UEFA Champions League is about to reach the round-of-16 stage. But when does the draw take place, and when will the matches be played?   Here's how it all works. When is the draw for the round of 16?

Celtic were close to causing the shock of the round against Bayern Munich, but a late equaliser on the night from Alphonso Davies put paid to their ambitions of qualifying for the round of 16 for the first time since 2012-13.

The UEFA Champions League's knockout phase will kick off on Tuesday, February 11-12 with the return legs to be played the week after, on February 18-19 and will determine the eight teams that will face the first eight sides that already qualified in the League Phase.

Following is the possible lineup for the Champions League last 16 ahead of Friday's draw: * Paris St Germain or Benfica will face Liverpool or Barcelona. * Club Brugge or Borussia Dortmund will face Aston Villa or Lille.
