Reported by AI Image generated by AI
The 2025/26 UEFA Champions League round of 16 draw, held in Nyon on February 27, 2026, paired Real Madrid with Manchester City for the fifth straight knockout stage. Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain face Chelsea in a rematch of last summer's Club World Cup final, while Arsenal draw Bayer Leverkusen in a potentially favorable tie. The bracket divides into a challenging silver path and a relatively easier blue path leading to the May 30 final in Budapest.
Manchester United will travel to Finland, Norway, Sweden and Ireland for pre-season friendlies in July and August. The club has confirmed opponents including Wrexham, Rosenborg, Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
