The draw will also determine which half of the draw each team will be in. The winners of each tie will advance to the quarterfinals, with the final taking place in Munich on May 31. The Champions League format has been expanded this season, with 36 teams competing in the group stage.

England is currently leading the way in the coefficient rankings, with six of its seven teams reaching the last 16 across all three UEFA competitions. Spain and Italy are also in contention for an extra Champions League spot next season.
