Who could Man City face in the Last 16?
Ahead of the final round of group stage matches, only a few teams have already guaranteed their place in the knockout stages. German champions Bayern Munich and City’s Premier League rivals Chelsea join them as the only three teams guaranteed to go through as group winners, and therefore be seeded for the draw, ahead of the final round of group stage matches being played. Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund are also through and are guaranteed to be unseeded.
Also through are Liverpool and Napoli, who will face each other at Anfield to determine who tops the group and who finished second. Similar situations apply to Club Brugge, Porto, Real Madrid, RB Leipzig, PSG and Benfica who are all already through with group winners still to be decided. AC Milan and RB Salzburg are the two remaining teams competing for second spot in their group.
