LAST-16 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FIXTURES
August 7
Juventus vs Olympique Lyon
Manchester City vs Real Madrid
August 8
Bayern Munich vs Chelsea
FC Barcelona vs Naples
According to Corriere dello Sport, Frank Lampard’s Blues will travel to take on Bayern Munich for their second leg on Saturday, August 8.
And they will have it all to do after being smashed 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Former Arsenal flop Serge Gnabry netted twice with lethal frontman Robert Lewandowski scoring the other.
Barcelona will host Napoli on that same night, the two teams tied at 1-1.
Manchester City will be in action a day earlier on Friday, August 7 when they host Real Madrid.
After going 1-0 down over in Spain, Pep Guardiola’s side sensationally fought back to win 2-1.
The brilliant Kevin De Bruyne set one up for Gabriel Jesus, then slotted home a penalty won by sub Raheem Sterling.
And with Real skipper Sergio Ramos sent off late on for cynically denying Jesus a second goal, City are red-hot favourites to progress to the last eight.
Lyon will travel to Juventus that night, holding a 1-0 lead.
PSG, Atletico Madrid, Atalanta and RB Leipzig have all already qualified for the quarter-finals.
