Chelsea to face Barcelona? Champions League last-16 draw probabilities

Chelsea have qualified for the last-16 stage of the Champions League. However, Frank Lampard's side are set to face one of the most difficult opponents in the knockout stage. The Blues qualified as a runner-up of Group H, where Valencia took the first place. The two sides had the same amount of points -11, however, Valencia got the pole position considering the goal difference. Therefore, Chelsea will face one of the winners of other groups. They can not face Valencia, as they were in the same group and they can not compete with Liverpool and Manchester City, as they are from the same country. Possible opponents for Chelsea are Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Barcelona and RB Leipzig. RB Leipzig would be a dream for Chelsea, however, according to latest predictions, the Blues are set to face Barcelona. Of all possible matchups, Barcelona V Chelsea is the most likely- 23.3%. There's a 21.67% chance that Chelsea could face Juventus. For Bayern Munich, the percentage is 18.90. The likelihood of Chelsea to face PSG is 18.18%. However, RB Leipzig V Chelsea is the least likely -17.98%. The draw for the Champions League Knockout stage will take place on Monday, December 16.
