Tottenham Hotspur​ have been drawn against RB Leipzig in the Champions League last-16.

Jose Mourinho's side will play at home in the first-leg after finishing second to Bayern Munich in Group B.

Despite suffering a humiliating 7-2 defeat against Bayern prior to Mauricio Pochettino's sacking, Spurs ultimately qualified in fairly comfortable fashion for the group stages.

After taking just one point from their opening two games, Spurs won their following three matches back-to-back and scored 13 goals in the process.

Leipzig finished top of their group ahead of Lyon and are also currently leading the Bundesliga after winning their last six league matches in succession.

The last 16 fixtures begin on 18-19 February and 25-26 February, with the second legs concluding the ties on 10-11 March and 17-18 March.

Elsewhere, Manchester City were drawn against Real Madrid, Chelsea face Bayern Munich and reigning champions Liverpool go up against Atletico Madrid.
