Who will Man City play next in the Champions League? The teams Pep Guardiola's side could draw in Last 16

Jack Rosser @JackRosser_17 December 2018

Manchester City's hopes of sealing a first Champions League triumph are still on course after sealing passage to the last-16 of the competition.

Their European campaign didn’t get off to a great start with Ligue 1 side Lyon stunning the Premier League champions with a 2-1 defeat at the Etihad in their group opener.

A late David Silva winner in Hoffenheim got things back on track after the Germans had looked like following Lyon’s lead with a goal in the opening minute before back-to-back wins over Shakhtar Donetsk, 9-0 over the two games, had things looking a little more comfortable once more.

Lyon also held City to a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture with a late Sergio Aguero goal ensuring a point and qualification for the knockout stages.

Having waltzed to the League title last season and, despite the setback at Chelsea, looking likely to defend it this time around, Europe is the next hurdle for City.

Here is who Pep Guardiola’s side could face in the last 16 of the competition...

When is the draw?

The draw for the round of 16 will take place on Monday, December 17 at 11am GMT.

Where is it?

The draw will take place at Uefa’s Swiss headquarters in Nyon.
