13.08 Let the two-month discussions begin as we debate and analyse every element of these ties. Arsenal v Bayern and Man City v Barcelona are two matches that are not be missed. There will be plenty of reaction on the Telegraph Sport site so do head on over there. Thanks for joining me. Cheerio.

13.01 Here are some words from Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng, whose side will face Premier League leaders Arsenal: "Arsenal are the toughest team that we could have drawn. They will be highly motivated after we knocked them out last season. We are expecting two very intense games."

12.57 You've heard from one side, so here is the other. Think Barca are worried? Nope.
2.46 Spurs, on the other hand, appear to have a simple route through to the last-16 where they will most likely face Benfica for a place in the quarter-finals. How much importance they place on the competition of course depends on what their new manager thinks.

12.41 And there you have it. It couldn't be much harder for Swansea with a tie against Napoli, who of course went out of Arsenal's Champions League group on goal difference despite clocking up 12 points.

12.36 If Spurs make it past Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, who are managed by the north London side's former manager Juande Ramos, they will take on either PAOK or Benfica.

12.34 Swansea will face the winners of Porto v Eintracht Frankfurt if they make it through their tie with Napoli.

12.32 So the draw is in full above. We will now get the last-16 draw as well. I will update you on the prospects for Spurs and Swansea.

12.13 They are now ready to begin in Nyon so here comes the Europa League draw. Spurs and Swansea are the two English sides to look out for...

12.12 Before we begin, here is a piece on how Manchester City have paid the price for getting their maths wrong, but it is actually Barcelona who will be the most worried about their Champions League last-16 tie.

12.09 While the blokes on stage do their bit of talking about nothing, here is a man who had planned to be watching this draw eagerly. But will now be... buying some clothes that aren't wet,
