Each side that Chelsea can definitely face in the Round of 16 of the Champions League
Chelsea defeated RB Salzburg 2-1 to earn a spot in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. The Blues presently lead Group E with ten points, and they still have a match at home against Dinamo Zagreb in fourth position.
Graham Potter’s group will automatically advance from the group if third-place Salzburg and second-place AC Milan, both with seven points, play each other on the last day.

Only two other clubs have successfully completed their group with one game remaining, as Chelsea has, outpacing the other 11 teams in the competition.
The 2022/23 UEFA Champions League round of 16 draw will take place at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland, on November 7 at 11:00 BST. Two seeding pots will be used; one will contain the eight group winners (seeded), while the other will contain the eight group runners-up (unseeded).
In the Champions League round of 16, seeded teams will play away in the first leg and at home in the second. Graham Potter’s team won’t have to worry about playing Manchester City just yet because no team can play a club from their group or from their own nation.
Matches for the round of 16 will be held on February 14–15–21–22 and March 7–8–14–15, 2023. With that said, Gossipinfo has looked at every team that Chelsea has played so far in the first round of the Champions League knockout stages.
Bayern Munich
The dominant team in Group C has won all five of its Champions League group stage games. Bayern has only given up twice this year and once again appears to be a force to be reckoned with.
Benfica
Benfica and PSG are tied for first place in Group H with just five goals separating them. The last match pits the Portuguese team against Maccabi Haifa, who are now in fourth position, while the French team plays Juventus, who must win to ensure Europa League status.
Club Brugge
In Group B, Club Brugge is in first place, followed by Porto in second, Atletico Madrid in third, and Bayer Leverkusen in fourth. The Belgian giants have shocked fans this season and might be a surprise opponent for Chelsea.
Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund put up a strong performance to hold Pep Guardiola’s team to a scoreless draw on matchday five. Despite not having Erling Haaland anymore, they are still a strong team and a threat to the Blues.
Inter Milan
In Group C, Inter came in second place. Although not quite Bayern, the Italian team has demonstrated its might by forcing Barcelona into the Europa League.
Liverpool
On the last day, Jurgen Klopp’s team will contend for Group A’s top spot. Chelsea will not, of course, face Liverpool in the round of 16, despite the fact that Liverpool is a Premier League team.
Manchester City
The Premier League champions were led to the top of the list by Erling Haaland. Although Chelsea won’t face City in the round of 16, of course, as a Premier League team.
Napoli
One of only two teams in the Champions League group stages with a perfect record after five games. The biggest club in Italy has also scored the most goals thus far.
Paris Saint-Germain
With Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and Lionel Messi as their front three, PSG is currently undefeated and should never be taken lightly. Since winning the group isn’t a given, Chelsea might have to play the French juggernauts if Benfica triumphs in Group H.
Porto
Atletico missed a penalty in stoppage time of matchday five, ensuring Porto’s qualification. The group’s top spot is still up for grabs, but Club Brugge will battle valiantly.
Real Madrid
the current Champions League champions. The group’s top team, Real Madrid, will play Celtic in the championship game.
