  • Club Brugge vs Aston Villa – Unai Emery's side faces a challenging trip to Belgium.

How the round of 16 draw works

Teams are paired based on league rankings, with seeds facing knockout phase play-off winners.

Four bowls contain the seeded teams, and draws determine which side of the bracket they occupy. The process begins with the lowest-ranked pair and ends with the top seeds.

The first team drawn is placed on the silver side of the bracket, while its paired opponent goes to the blue side. Seeded teams typically play the return leg at home.
