Field, seeding set for Round of 16 draw

The field is set. It's time to start imagining the possibilities.

The Champions League has been cut down to 16 teams, with the final group matches coming to an end Wednesday and revealing which clubs are still in contention to hoist Europe's most coveted piece of silverware - and which sides are now capable of being meeting when the Round of 16 matchups are drawn Monday.

Here are the teams that have qualified for the Round of 16, and how each side accomplished that lucrative feat:

• Real Madrid (Group A)
• Wolfsburg (Group B)
• Atletico Madrid (Group C)
• Manchester City (Group D)
• Barcelona (Group E)
• Bayern Munich (Group F)
• Chelsea (Group G)
• Zenit St Petersburg (Group H)

Second-place teams (Unseeded)

• Paris Saint-Germain (Group A)
• PSV (Group B)
• Benfica (Group C)
• Juventus (Group D)
• Roma (Group E)
• Arsenal (Group F)

Rules and regulations

The draw, set to be staged - as it always is - in Nyon, Switzerland, will pit the eight group winners against the eight second-place sides in respective two-legged ties.

As is the case every season, teams who played in the same group cannot be drawn against one another. The same is true of clubs from the same country, which immediately makes some of the tastier potential matchups clear for the next round of the competition.

Real Madrid versus Juventus, perhaps? Could Barcelona meet Arsenal once more? Only a few more sleeps until we find out, friends. In the meantime, let your mind run wild with the possibilities.
