• Salzburg were runners-up last season, beating Atlético in the semi-finals. Ajax and Man City have also previously made the last four.
• Dortmund, Liverpool, Paris and Sporting CP reached last season’s quarter-finals, with AZ, Genk and Real Madrid eliminated in the round of 16.
• Madrid keep up their record of reaching the round of 16 in all nine editions, with an eighth appearance at this stage for Atlético.
• Madrid hope to reach a seventh quarter-final, taking them back one ahead of Benfica, who caught them last season. If Madrid lose, Barcelona can equal the record with a sixth last-eight appearance.
• Milan are at this stage for the first time since the inaugural 2013/14 season. They are aiming to reach their first quarter-final.
• Ruh are in their debut season.
