Draw procedure

• Two seeding pots were formed: one consisting of the eight group winners and the other of the eight runners-up. No team could play a club from their own association or a club from the same group they were in.
• A first ball was drawn from the bowl containing the group runners-up; the team drawn was placed as the home team of match 1. The computer then showed which group winners were eligible to play the runner-up of match 1.
• A bowl was prepared containing the name of the group winners which were eligible; a ball was then drawn from this bowl to complete the pairing of match 1. The team drawn was placed as the visiting team of match 1.
• The procedure was repeated for the remaining matches.
• Seeded group winners are away in the round of 16 first legs and at home in the return matches.
