CHELSEA landed a nightmare Champions League last-16 draw – paired with Barcelona in our very own simulation.
Ahead of Monday’s draw, SunSport held our own ceremony – and it’s bad news all-round for Premier League sides.
How SunSport’s Champions League last 16 draw simulation panned out
Chelsea and Spurs could face a nightmare Champions League draw
The Blues were paired with Barca, while Tottenham must battle past a Kylian Mbappe-inspired Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool and Manchester City will both travel to Madrid, with Atletico and Real in store for them, respectively.
In a bonkers draw which saw giants drawn together, Napoli were drawn with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund pulled Juventus out of the hat.
Arguably the four weakest teams left in the competition were then all drawn together, with Atalanta paired up with RB Leipzig and Lyon getting Valencia.
The draw should come as no surprise either, with Chelsea more likely to draw Barcelona than any other team in the competition.
Frank Lampard’s side have a 23.28 per cent shot of facing the Spanish champions – the highest percentage of any team to face any other side.
Chelsea can also face PSG, Bayern, Juventus or Red Bull Leipzig in the last-16.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are most-likely to be drawn with Valencia at 22.61 per cent – but here landed PSG in a 17.33 per cent shock.
The permutations for the Champions League last 16 draw
Liverpool and Man City are both most likely to play Atletico Madrid – with the Reds getting them in our run-through.
Both clubs also have a 21.58 per cent chance of facing Real Madrid.
In an incredible turn of events, this season’s Champions League last 16 is the first time in tournament history all 16 clubs have hailed from Europe’s “Big Five” leagues.
