Draw facts:

Real Madrid beat Napoli in the 1987/88 European Champion Clubs’ Cup first round, winning 2-0 at home before a 1-1 draw in Italy.

Dortmund beat Benfica in the 1963/64 European Champion Clubs’ Cup first round, a 5-0 first-leg win in Germany taking them through despite a 2-1 away defeat. The Bundesliga side have won their last five fixtures with Portuguese opponents.

Bayern and Arsenal have played each other ten times, all since 2000/01. The German club have won five of those games and the English team three, with Bayern beating Arsenal in the round of 16 in 2004/05, 2012/13 and 2013/14.

Juventus beat Porto 2-1 in the 1984 European Cup Winners’ Cup final in Basel, and recorded a win (3-1) and a draw (0-0) when the sides met in the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League first group stage.

Atlético and Leverkusen have faced off four times in recent years, sharing two 1-1 draws in the 2010/11 UEFA Europa League group stage and a 1-0 home win each in the 2014/15 UEFA Champions League round of 16 – Atlético won the tie on penalties.

Barcelona beat Paris in the 2012/13 and 2014/15 quarter-finals, although the French team came out on top when the clubs met in the last eight in 1994/95. Barcelona won the 1997 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final against Paris in Rotterdam, and each team won their home game when their paths crossed again in the 2014/15 group stage – 3-2 in France, 3-1 in Spain.

Manchester City and Monaco, and Sevilla and Leicester, have never met.
