The Champions League playoff round has given us some tasty ties, including a meeting of the past two winners, Real Madrid and Man City. Here are our picks to advance to the round of 16.

It will be Real Madrid vs. Manchester City yet again in the Champions League — but never as early as this, and for the first time with a Kylian Mbappé vs. Erling Haaland matchup. Two heavyweights who struggled in the new eight-game league phase were the standout pairing Friday in the draw for the new knockout playoffs round.

Elsewhere, Celtic meet Bayern Munich and there is an all-French contest between minnows Brest and Paris Saint-Germain. The first legs of the play-off matches will take place on February 11/12, with the second legs on February 18/19. Sam Lee, Rory Smith, Oliver Kay, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Dermot Corrigan analyse the key talking points from the draw.
