The UEFA Champions League knockout phase play-off draw on January 30, 2026, paired Benfica with Real Madrid in a rematch just weeks after Benfica's dramatic victory. Newcastle United face a long trip to Qarabag, while Paris Saint-Germain meet Monaco in an all-French tie. The draw, held in Nyon, Switzerland, determines the final eight teams to join the top eight in the round of 16.
Arsenal advanced to the Champions League last 16 with a perfect record of eight wins, yet they have earned slightly less prize money than rivals Liverpool and Manchester City so far this season. The difference stems from UEFA's distribution formula, which rewards long-term European performance. Both Liverpool and City have banked £84 million, compared to Arsenal's £83.1 million.
