The UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16 matches of the "War of Stars" have been confirmed. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG, France), which includes Lee Kang-in, clashed with Chelsea (England), and the "best big match" between Real Madrid (Spain) and Manchester City (England) also took place.

UEFA held a draw ceremony at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, at 8 p.m. on the 27th (Korea time) for the round of 16 matches between 2025 and 2026 UCL. The round of 16 matches was previously held in such a way that the teams ranked 1st to 8th in the UCL League phase went straight to the round of 16 and were seeded, and the teams ranked 9th to 24th clashed with the seed teams through the round of 16 (PO) in a home-and-away manner.

As a result of the draw for the round of 16, PSG, which includes Lee Kang-in, will face Chelsea, who was the final opponent of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. At that time, PSG was completely defeated 0-3, and Lee Kang-in was on the replacement list but could not play.

If PSG beats Chelsea, it will face the winning team of Galatasaray (Turkiye) and Liverpool (England) in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, they will meet one of Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich (Germany), and Atalanta (Italy).

The best big match in the round of 16 is by far the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City. One of the two teams considered side by side to win the tournament will be forced to avoid the fate of "early elimination from the round of 16" this tournament.

In addition, Bayern Munich, where Kim Min-jae belongs, will face Atalanta. Newcastle United (England)-FC Barcelona (Spain), Atletico Madrid (Spain)-Tottenham (England), Arsenal (England)-Leverkusen (Germany), Bod/Glimt (Norway)-Sporting CP (Portugal) were also held through a draw on the day.

The round of 16 UCL will also be held in a home-and-away manner. The first round will be held on March 11-12, and the second round will be held on March 18-19. The quarterfinals and semifinals will then be held from April to May, and the long-awaited final will be held in Budapest, Hungary, on May 31.
