The draw was made Monday at UEFA's headquarters, with the standout matchup being Napoli vs. Barcelona.

It's also Porto vs. Arsenal, PSV Eindhoven vs. Borussia Dortmund and Lazio vs. Bayern Munich.

In the last 16, teams cannot play an opponent from their own country or a team they already faced in the group stage. There's no country protection after that.

The two-legged round-of-16 matchups will be played from Feb. 13-14.
