Champions League fans have vented their frustrations on social media after Friday's draw placed Liverpool, Arsenal, and Aston Villa all on the same side of the competition's round-of-16 draw.

Three of the four teams the Premier League fielded in Europe's top flight survived the league phase, with 2023 winners Manchester City faltering at the play-off hurdle against serial winners Real Madrid this week.

The draw at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland confirmed the three English teams' opponents for the first of the knockout stages, with Liverpool facing off with Paris Saint-Germain in the mouthwatering pick of the round.
