Elsewhere, Bayern Munich were held to a draw against Paris Saint-Germain in another sensational clash, while Manchester City take on RB Leipzig.
Antonio Conte’s Tottenham take on AC Milan after sealing top spot in the group stage, and Graham Potter’s Chelsea were held to a tricky-looking draw by Borussia Dortmund.
