Spanish giants Barcelona were handed the toughest possible draw on Monday when they were paired with Manchester City in the plum tie of the last 16 of the Champions League.
.
Champions Bayern Munich were also given a hard draw as they plucked Arsenal for the second year in a row at this stage.
.
For the English pair, who both finished second in their groups, it was yet again a harsh lesson in the importance of winning the group.
.
Manchester United and Chelsea, both group winners, were given far more favourable draws against Olympiakos and Galatasaray respectively.
.
In fairness to Arsenal and City, they did have the toughest possible groups facing one each of last season's finalists.

FC Barcerlona must be very ready to face a tough side in the UCL second round. It is a must win on both legs for them to be comfortable.
