Seven previous European Cup winners feature in the draw for the round of 16 which will be made today at UEFA’s Nyon headquarters, starting at 12.00 p.m.
The line-up for the draw also contains four newcomers to the knock-out stage.
Though FC Basel have previously appeared in a second group stage, this is the first time the Swiss outfit have reached the round of 16, while Napoli, Zenit St Petersburg and APOEL Nicosia – the first Cypriot representatives to have advanced this far – are also in uncharted territory.
Two seeding pots have been formed: one consisting of group winners and the other of runners-up.
Group winners: Bayern Munich, Inter, Benfica, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, APOEL, Barcelona.
Group runners-up: Napoli, CSKA Moscow, Basel, Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen, Mar-seille, Zenit St Petersburg, Milan.
No team can play a club from their group or any side from the same association.
The last 32 draw of the Europa League will also take place today.
