Only 16 teams remain after several enthralling group-stage clashes.

The 2023-24 UEFA Champions League campaign has already delivered, though there's still more to come in the looming knockout rounds.

Most notably, Manchester United crashed out of Group A in last place, so the Red Devils will not participate in the Europa League, either.

Fellow Premier League club Newcastle finished last in the group of death, while Serie A side AC Milan claimed third to at least play in Europa games. Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain survived Group F narrowly.

Reigning champions Manchester City easily handled Group G, winning all six games with no real threats.

But now comes the round of 16 draw, which is often unpredictable yet enticing. Here's what to know for 2023-24:
