MADRID -- A total of 15 teams have confirmed a place in the last 16 of the Champions League. The winner of the last ticket in the eighth final will only be determined when Atalantan host Villarreal in the final match of Group F, Friday (10/12) early morning WIB.

Snowfall and a thick layer of snow that covered the pitch at Gewiss Stadium, Atalanta's headquarters, forced the match to be postponed. Later, the two teams will fight for the status as runners-up in Group F in the last 16 of this season's Champions League.

Apart from the fact that there are not even contestants in the eighth-final round, a number of possibilities can be predicted regarding the draw results in the round of 16. This is inseparable from a number of recent policies from UEFA regarding the draw for the round of 16.

The plan, UEFA will draw the last 16 of the Champions League on Monday (13/12) local time. Later, the remaining 16 teams in the Champions League stage will be divided into two groups.

The eight teams that manage to end the preliminary phase as group winners will be placed as the seeded team. Meanwhile, the rest or group runners-up will occupy the status as the non-seeded team. The seeded teams will be drawn to face the non-seeded teams.

However, two teams from the same country are not allowed to face each other in the round of 16. Even with two teams from the same group in the preliminary phase.

With these two rules, the European giants have been able to narrow down the potential opponents they will face in the eighth final. England became the country with the most representatives in the round of 16, with four teams.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool advanced to the last 16 as group winners, while Chelsea had to settle for ending Group H in second place.

By referring to a set of rules in the drawing process, the potential opponents Liverpool will face in the round of 16 are Paris Saint Germain (PSG), Sporting Lisbon, Inter Milan, Benfica, Red Bull Salzburg and Villarreal/Atalanta.

Meanwhile, Manchester City will have the opportunity to face Atletico Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, Inter Milan, Benfica, RB Salzburg, and Villarrea/Atalanta. More or less the same potential opponent will also be faced by Manchester United.

The team made by Ralf Rangnick has the potential to play PSG, Atletico Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, Inter Milan, Benfica, and RB Salzburg. The conditions are a little different for Chelsea.

Compared to the other three English teams, the reigning Champions League champions have a greater chance of having a tough match in the last 16 against top teams, such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Ajax Amsterdam, Lille.

Likewise with the possibility of Atletico Madrid and Sporting Lisbon. Marca launches, assuming Atalanta manages to advance to the last 16, the percentage chance of Real Madrid meeting Chelsea in the last 16 is 27.71 percent.

The percentage chance of meeting Chelsea and Madrid also increases to 32 percent if Villarreal are successful in securing the last ticket in the eighth final. Meanwhile, the possibility for Madrid to face Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is around 19 percent.

Not only about the potential opponents of Madrid, Marca also launched the possibility of opponents that Atletico Madrid will face. This season's La Liga champions have the potential to face Juventus and Manchester City. If Atalanta advance to the round of 16, the percentage of Atletico Madrid's chances of facing Juventus will touch 22 percent.

However, if it was Villarreal who managed to qualify for the round of 16, Atletico Madrid would not only have the potential to face Juventus and Manchester City, but also Liverpool.
