L
iverpool will have the chance to avenge last season's Champions League final defeat at the hands of Real Madrid after Jurgen Klopp's side was drawn on Monday to face the holder again in the last-16.
Meanwhile, the other standout tie sees Paris Saint-Germain drawn to play Bayern Munich in a repeat of the 2020 final which was won by the German club.
Liverpool won five of its six group games but missed out on top spot to Napoli after losing 4-1 when the sides met in Italy.
The Anfield club also lost the 2018 Champions League final to Real, which won its group ahead of RB Leipzig.
"The first thing that we can say about this draw is it is proper Champions League. This is a tie that speaks for itself and one that we should all be excited about," Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com.
The first leg will be at Anfield on Feb. 21, with the return at the Santiago Bernabeu on March 15.
"They are two historic teams, and the tie is going to be electric, fascinating for the fans," said Emilio Butragueno, a great former Real player who is now the director of institutional relations for the 14-time European champions.
