NEW YORK, Switzerland (AP) – Bod\u00f8\/Glimt’s incredible run in the Champions League means Sporting Lisbon will advance to their Arctic home in the Round of 16 next month.<\/p>\n
Bodo\/Glimt avoided a potential rematch with Manchester City when the 2023 title winners link up with Real Madrid again in Friday’s draw. <\/p>\n
It will be the fifth consecutive year that Madrid and Man City, who have won a record 15 times as European champions, will meet in the knockout stages. The winner could face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. <\/p>\n
Man City’s 3-1 defeat in the Norwegian fishing town last month marked Bod\u00f8\/Glimt’s fourth successive Champions League win, all during Norway’s off-season.<\/p>\n
The first leg match will be played on March 10th or 11th, with the return game a week later.<\/p>\n
Title holders Paris Saint-Germain will be paired with Chelsea, with the winner advancing to the quarter-finals against either Liverpool or Galatasaray.<\/p>\n
Galatasaray had already beaten Liverpool 1-0 in September’s league match, which sent the English champions into a two-month slump of poor form and a shock defeat.<\/p>\n
In the first round of the draw, between Spain and England, Barcelona will face Newcastle, while Atletico Madrid will face Tottenham. Next month’s winners will face off in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
Bayern Munich will be matched up with the last remaining Italian team, Atalanta, while Arsenal will face Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n
The winner between Arsenal and Leverkusen will face Bod\u00f8\/Glimt or Sporting in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
Friday’s draw will determine the seeded teams will advance to the final, which will be held on May 30th at Budapest’s Puskas Arena.<\/p>\n
