The Champions League play-off draw has been made, with the teams who finished ninth to 24th in the league stage finding out who they will have to beat for a place in the last 16.

Newcastle take on Qarabag, and Real Madrid have drawn Benfica in a game that should be full of excitement and an urge for revenge from Los Blancos.

It is an almost instant replay of the enthralling 4-2 game on Wednesday night, which Benfica won with Anatoliy Trubin – their goalkeeper – scoring a last second goal to take Benfica into the top 24.

Here is the draw in full:

  • Monaco v Paris St-Germain
  • Galatasaray v Juventus
  • Benfica v Real Madrid
  • Borussia Dortmund v Atalanta
  • Qarabag v Newcastle United
  • Club Brugge v Atletico Madrid
  • Bodo/Glimt v Inter Milan
  • Olympiakos v Bayer Leverkusen

The games will take place in February, with the first legs on the 17th and 18th, and the second legs on the 24th and 25th.
