If both cul\u00e9s and ‘merengues’ advance to the semifinals from this side of the bracket, they will have to face each other for a spot in the final in Munich<\/strong> on May 31.<\/p> Conversely, if the round of 16 draw places Barcelona on the right side of the bracket, there can only be a ‘Cl\u00e1sico’ in the final<\/strong>. In that case, the team managed by Hansi Flick will face the winner of the matchup between Monaco and Benfica, two rivals that Bar\u00e7a has already faced in the league phase. In the quarter-finals, the opponent will come from Lille, Aston Villa, Sporting CP, or Borussia Dortmund.<\/p> Thus, the upcoming draw will define the final configuration of the ‘bracket’ for the ‘KO’ phase. No further draws will be needed for the quarter-finals and ‘semis’<\/strong>, as the bracket will determine the opponents of each team according to the winners of each matchup. The round of 16 matches will be played between March 4 and 12, while the quarter-finals will take place from April 8 to 16. Finally, the semifinals must be played between April 29 and May 7.<\/p> This is how the round of 16 matchups of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 are distributed<\/h3> Left side of the bracket:<\/strong><\/p> Liverpool (1st) or FC Barcelona (2nd) vs winner of Stade Brestois (18th) – Paris Saint-Germain (15th).<\/li> \t LOSC Lille (7th) or Aston Villa (8th) vs winner of Club Bruges (24th) – Atalanta Bergamasca (9th).<\/li> \t Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid (5th) or Bayer Leverkusen (6th) vs winner of Manchester City (22nd) – Real Madrid (11th).<\/li> \t Arsenal (3rd) or Inter Milan (4th) vs winner of Juventus (20th) – PSV Eindhoven (14th).<\/li> <\/ol> Right side of the bracket:<\/strong><\/p> FC Barcelona (2nd) or Liverpool (1st) vs winner of AS Monaco (17th) – SL Benfica (16th).<\/li> \t Aston Villa (8th) or LOSC Lille (7th) vs winner of Sporting CP (23rd) – Borussia Dortmund (10th).<\/li> \t Bayer Leverkusen (6th) or Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid (5th) vs winner of Celtic FC (21st) – Bayern Munich (12th).<\/li> \t Inter Milan (4th) or Arsenal (3rd) vs winner of Feyenoord (19th) – AC Milan (13th).<\/li> <\/ol> Play-off matchups of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25:<\/h3> Stade Brestois – Paris Saint-Germain (first leg: En Avant Guingamp | second leg: Parc des Princes).<\/li> \t SL Benfica – AS Monaco (first leg: Est\u00e1dio da Luz | second leg: Stade Louis-II).<\/li> \t Juventus – PSV Eindhoven (first leg: Allianz Stadium | second leg: Philips Stadion).<\/li> \t Feyenoord – AC Milan (first leg: Feyenoord Stadium | second leg: San Siro).<\/li> \t Manchester City – Real Madrid<\/strong> (first leg: Etihad Stadium | second leg: Santiago Bernab\u00e9u).<\/li> \tClub Bruges – Atalanta Bergamasca (first leg: Estadio Jan Breydel | second leg: Gewiss Stadium)<\/li> \t Celtic FC – Bayern Munich (first leg: Celtic Park | second leg: Allianz Arena).<\/li> \t Sporting CP – Borussia Dortmund (first leg: Estadio Jos\u00e9 Alvalade | second leg: Signal Iduna Park).<\/li> <\/ol> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona and Real Madrid could face each other in the Champions League in two decisive instances.
