Two-time defending champions Real Madrid and their manager Zinedine Zidane will face Paris Saint-Germain and former Sevilla manager Unai Emery in the round of 16 stage.

If Madrid prevail, they will extend their current successive run of reaching 7 quarter-finals in a row that they set between the 2010/11 season and the 2016/17 season.

Since the 2010/11 season until now, the club has been under Jose Mourinho for 3 seasons, Carlo Ancelotti for 2, Rafa Benitez for 1 and Zinedine Zidane for 2.

Top managers with good results between this time period, but only Ancelotti and Zidane managed to win the tournament twice as manager with the club.

PSG travel to the Bernabeu for the first leg in the middle of February followed by the second leg in the second week of March. Zidane has described the tie as a deciding factor in his future as club boss, as the tie is building up to be the most anticipated pair of matches of the season.
