A series of heavyweight matches await when the Men's Champions League continues in March.

However, for Bodø/Glimt, who knocked out Inter in the playoff on Tuesday, a relatively easier opponent awaits, according to Norwegian expert commentator Lars Tjærnås.

It could have been Manchester City, but in Friday's draw it was Sporting instead.

"I think Bodø/Glimt has at least a 50–50 chance," Tjærnås tells NTB.

All round-of-16 matches:

Paris Saint-Germain–Chelsea, Real Madrid–Manchester City, Newcastle–Barcelona, Bodø/Glimt–Sporting, Galatasaray–Liverpool, Atalanta–Bayern Munich, Atlético Madrid–Tottenham, Leverkusen–Arsenal.
