With the likes of Roma and Manchester United, one could have expected that clash.

But atleast for the Round of 16 that isn’t possible due to the UEFA Ruling. Only seeded teams can face Unseeded teams in this round. This rule like the association rule does not apply from the Quarter-Finals onwards.
