The 2020-21 Champions League round of 16 draw was made last December, with some mouthwatering fixtures to look forward to as the next phase of the European competition begins.

With European heavyweights Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain pitted against each other and Liverpool clashing with plucky RB Leipzig, Goal has rounded up the dates of all the Champions League last 16 fixtures.

Champions League round of 16 fixtures

Games will take place over two matchdays, with the first leg played the week of February 16 and the return leg played the week of March 9.

Barcelona and PSG will first meet on February 16, 2021 at Camp Nou, with the return leg at the Parc des Princes played on March 10 .

It is the standout tie of the round, with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe set to meet, though Neymar will disappointingly miss out after being laid low by injury.

Which Champions League last-16 games have been moved?

The three Champions League ties involving English clubs  have been affected by Covid-19-related public health restrictions in Spain and Germany related to travellers from the UK.

Liverpool's away game against RB Leipzig on February 16 has been moved to the Puskas Arena in Hungary, as has Manchester City's away match against Borussia Monchengladbach on February 24.

Chelsea's away game against Atletico Madrid on February 23 will not take place in Spain either, with that fixture being moved to the Arena Nationala in Romania.

It is not just the Champions League that has been affected by the situation, with the venues of Europa League games involving Manchester United and Arsenal also changed.

The Red Devils will play Real Sociedad in Allianz Stadium in Turin on February 18, while Arsenal's game against Benfica, scheduled to be played on the same day, has been moved to Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
