The trophy holders failed to win their group thanks to a last-gasp 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund this evening.
It means they will face one of the group winners in the Round of 16, which include Juventus and Napoli.

The trophy holders failed to win their group thanks to a last-gasp 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund this evening.
It means they will face one of the group winners in the Round of 16, which include Juventus and Napoli.
“I am eager to avoid Juventus, but we can’t do anything about it and just have to wait and see what the draw gives us,” Zidane told Mediaset Premium.
“I don’t want to be paired with Juventus for both reasons of the heart and the fact they are a very strong team,” added the former Juve player.
“Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain are great forwards, but I don’t want to compare them to my squad. Juve have their players and we have ours.”
