Manchester City, RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Atlético de Madrid, Lazio, Barcelona, Arsenal and PSV secured their place in advance.
As a result, the last four classifieds still need to be defined. The top two teams from each of the eight Champions League groups advance to the round of 16.
A draw on December 18th will define the clashes, placing the teams in two different pots: one with the first placed teams in each group, and the other with the second placed teams.

It is worth remembering that there are two restrictions in the round of 16: teams that come from the same group cannot face each other, as well as teams from the same country.
From the quarterfinals onwards, there are no more restrictions: all teams can face each other, with the path defined through a new draw.
The Champions 2023/24 round of 16 will be held on the 13th, 14th, 20th and 21st of February, with the first matches, and on the 5th, 6th, 12th and 13th of March, with the return matches.
