Lyon, December 15
Chelsea will face Paris St Germain - which means a reunion with David Luiz - and Arsenal will take on Arsene Wenger's former club Monaco.
Barcelona, who last won the competition in 2011, knocked out Premier League champions City at the same stage last season and boast the competition's all-time record goalscorer in Lionel Messi. Manuel Pellegrini's City, who needed a 2-0 win at Roma in their final Group E game to qualify in second place, will play host to Barcelona at Etihad Stadium on February 24 before heading to the Nou Camp on March 18.
Txiki Begiristain, the Manchester City director of football who spent time at Barcelona as a player and as director of football, said, "It's unbelievable. I think we don't need to come because every tie is the same! Now we have to deal again with Barcelona as last season.”
Chelsea, the 2012 winners, have been drawn against French champions PSG, who they overcame at the quarter-final stage last season but who suffered just one defeat during an impressive group stage campaign this time around.
The draw has been kindest to Arsenal, who will take on Wenger's former club Monaco.
The French club have former Premier League champions Ricardo Carvalho and Dimitar Berbatov on their books and finished top of a group that included Bayer Leverkusen, Zenit St Petersburg and Benfica - despite scoring just four goals.
Reigning champions Real Madrid have been drawn against one of four German teams in the last 16, Schalke. Bayer Leverkusen take on Atletico Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund have drawn Italian champions Juventus.
Bayern Munich, the 2013 champions, face a trip to Ukraine to face Shakhtar Donetsk. Basel, who knocked Liverpool out of the competition last week, will take on Porto, whose only defeat in any competition this season has come in the Portuguese Cup.
