Tottenham Hotspur have been drawn against Italian giants Juventus in the round of 16 in the Champions League.
The draw for the next stage of Europe’s premier club competition took place in Nyon, Switzerland on Monday.

Spurs, meanwhile, finished top of Group H, which contained Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
