Bayern Munich will tackle Bayer Leverkusen in a tasty all-German encounter.

Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso has never lost to Bayern in six games across three seasons, including three meetings this season.

The Madrid and German match-ups were not possible in the old Champions League format where teams from the same country could not face each other in the round of 16.

The new tennis-style seeded bracket allows for those derbies, and for teams to reunite after already playing each other in the league phase of the competition.

The other match-ups are Aston Villa vs Club Brugge, Inter Milan vs Feyenoord, Borussia Dortmund vs Lille, Barcelona vs Benfica and Arsenal vs PSV Eindhoven.

Feyenoord goes back to San Siro, where it already eliminated AC Milan this week in the knockout playoffs round.

In the Europa League, Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur will meet AZ Alkmaar of the Netherlands.

Spurs beat the Dutch club 1-0 during the league phase in October.

Struggling Manchester United have been drawn against Spain's Real Sociedad.
