Manchester City is now aware of potential Champions League knockout round opponents following the last-16 draw on Monday morning. Their 3-2 victory over Crvena Zvezda saw goals from Micah Hamilton, Oscar Bobb, and Kalvin Phillips, securing their position in the draw as group champions.
While there were still undecided spots in other matches played on Wednesday night, those outcomes have now been settled. Among the potential opponents are PSG and Inter Milan, two teams that City previously encountered, including in last season’s final.
Pep Guardiola, City’s manager, expressed satisfaction with their qualification and home advantage in the second leg of the upcoming matches. The draw, scheduled for Monday at 11 a.m. GMT, will determine the last-16 matchups slated for February.
Confirmed runners-up from Wednesday’s matches include FC Copenhagen, PSV Eindhoven, Napoli, Inter Milan, and RB Leipzig, who cannot be paired with City due to being in the same group. Lazio, PSG, and FC Porto are also among the teams that could potentially face City.

– FC Copenhagen (Group A)
– Eindhoven PSV (Group B)
– Napoli (Group C)
– Inter Milan (Group D)
– Lazio (Group E)
– Paris Saint-Germain (Group F)
