There are only four possible opponents for FC Bayern

Like two years ago, four Bundesliga teams are in the round of 16 of the Champions League. As the last German team, RB Leipzig made the leap into the knockout stages on Wednesday evening with a 4-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk. After the end of the group phase, the pairings for the round of 16 will be drawn on Monday. In addition to cup winners Leipzig, champions FC Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt also know which opponents await them in the new year.

The most important questions and answers about how things will continue in Europe's top competition.

Next Monday (November 7th) at 12.00 p.m. in Nyon. Only the round of 16 will be drawn. For the quarter-finals and semi-finals, a new draw will be held once the round of 16 has ended.

The round of 16 has been divided into eight game dates for a number of years. The first legs will take place on February 14, 15, 21 and 22. The second leg increases on March 7th, 8th, 14th and 15th. Two games are played each evening.

Yes. German duels are not possible in this round, nor are pairings with group opponents. Inter Milan, Dortmund, Frankfurt and Leipzig are therefore out of the question for Bayern as opponents. In addition to Bayern, Frankfurt cannot get Tottenham as an opponent in the round of 16. Bayern and Manchester City are taboo for BVB. Leipzig cannot meet Munich and Real Madrid.

Since three German clubs finished second in their group, Munich can only meet Liverpool FC, Bruges FC, AC Milan or Paris Saint-Germain.

SSC Napoli, FC Porto, FC Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Benfica Lisbon are possible opponents.

Possible draws include SSC Napoli, FC Porto, Chelsea FC, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Benfica Lisbon.

RB could meet SSC Napoli, FC Porto, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea FC, Manchester City or Benfica Lisbon.
