Borussia Dortmund will go up against Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

The draw for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 has been made, and an intriguing test against PSV Eindhoven awaits Borussia Dortmund. The first leg of the tie will take place at the Philips Stadion on February 20, while the Black and Yellows will host the second leg at the Westfalenstadion on March 13.

Borussia Dortmund qualified for the Champions League round of 16 after finishing top in what was classed as the group of death. Edin Terzic's side defeated Newcastle United home and away, and also earned an impressive win over AC Milan away from home to secure top spot in Group F ahead of Paris Saint-Germain.

PSV Eindhoven finished second in Group B behind Arsenal, winning two and drawing three of their matches in the group stage. The Dutch giants have won all 16 of their matches so far in the Eredivisie, and are coached by former BVB trainer Peter Bosz. They have a number of talented players in their ranks, including Johan Bakayoko, and will no doubt offer a tough test to Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League at the round of 16 stage last season, and will be desperate to make it through to the quarterfinals this time around.

The Champions League round of 16 draw threw up a number of exciting matches. Bayern Munich will take on Lazio, while RB Leipzig will square off against Real Madrid.
