The UEFA Champions League last 16 draw takes place Monday and it could see Cristiano Ronaldo clashing with his former club Real Madrid in a tough match. Juventus are one of eight group first place holders who will be paired with the runners-up from the group stages.

Ironically, Juventus could face record champions Real Madrid in the last 16, which would make for an exciting return of Ronaldo to the Santiago Bernabeu after Los Blancos finished their group in second place behind Paris Saint-Germain.

Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur are also set for a tough match as they were place second to Bayern Munich in their group. Last year's UEFA runner ups could face Barcelona, Juventus, Leipzig, PSG or Valencia in the next round.

Madrid though, cannot face Barcelona as no club can play a team from the same nation.
