Berlin (dpa) – Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo meet again when their clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United were on Monday drawn to face each other in the Champions League last 16.<\/p>\n

\"football\"<\/p>\n

Both football greats are at new clubs this season with Ronaldo back at United after a term at Juventus while Messi has moved to PSG because Barcelona could no longer afford him.<\/p>\n

The two clubs last met in the same round in 2019 with United reversing a 2-0 home defeat with a last minute 3-1 at the Parc des Princes. This time around the second leg is at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

United were initially drawn against Villarreal by former former Russian great Andrey Arshavin but that was a technical mistake because the two already played in the same group.<\/p>\n

But the Europa League winners Villarreal will still face Manchester opposition in the form last season’s finalists City.<\/p>\n

Title holders Chelsea and 2019 winners Liverpool appeared to have kind draws in the form of Lille and Salzburg.<\/p>\n

Six-time winners Bayern Munich face a tricky task against Diego Simeone’s Spanish champions Atletico Madrid who eliminated Bayern in their last knock-out meeting in the 2016 semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Benfica v record champions Real Madrid, Sporting v Juventus and Inter Milan v Ajax are the other ties.<\/p>\n

First leg matches are set for February 15\/16 and 22\/23 with the second legs on March 8\/9 and 15\/16. The final is May 28 in St Petersburg.<\/p>\n

From this season on the away goal rule no longer applies, meaning that all ties tied on aggregate after 90 minutes in the second leg go into extra time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
