<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">Despite the fact that Messi and Ramos have previously been on opposite sides, both players will be looking to propel PSG over Madrid and into the quarter-final stage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">In the previous draw, Real Madrid was pitted against Benfica, while PSG was pitted against Man United.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">Atletico Madrid will now face Manchester United rather than Bayern Munich, while Villarreal will face Juventus rather than Manchester City, which should satisfy Samuel Chukwueze and his colleagues.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">Liverpool will face Inter Milan in the knockout stages in the other pairings.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s team will play the first game away from home before returning to Anfield for the second leg.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">If Liverpool makes it to the final, the game will be held on May 28, 2022, at Saint Petersburg&#8217;s Krestovsky Stadium.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">The Reds will be seeking a repeat of their triumph in the event, which they last won in 2019 when they defeated Spurs in Madrid.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">The only match that did not alter in the redraw was Chelsea&#8217;s match against Lille.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">The first legs will be held on February 15/16 and February 22/23, with the second legs taking place on March 8/9 and March 15/16.</span></p>
