Champions League - Three possible Italian opponents for FC Bayern and PSG again
Following the conclusion of the Champions League group stage, FC Bayern Munich have six possible opponents in the round of 16, including three from Italy. As group winners, the German soccer champions could be drawn against Italian champions SSC Napoli, last year's finalists Inter Milan or Lazio Roma next Monday (12.00 noon) at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon.
Another clash with Paris Saint-Germain is also possible. Bayern also beat France's top team led by star striker Kylian Mbappé, who finished second in Group F behind Borussia Dortmund, in the round of 16 last season. Bayern's other potential opponents are FC Porto and PSV Eindhoven. Group opponents FC Copenhagen and RB Leipzig were eliminated from the draw as Munich's opponents. A German clash would only be possible from the quarter-finals onwards.
"We've done our duty. Of course, we want to reach the quarter-finals now," Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel said after the 1-0 win in the final group game at Manchester United on Tuesday: "Anyone can win the tournament from the quarter-finals onwards."
The round of 16 will be played in the new year. The first legs will take place on February 13/14/20/21, the second legs on March 5/6/12/13. As top of the group, Bayern will first play away from home.
