Atlético and Inter Milan had a 13 percent chance to be paired in the last 16, and the two sides have met only once before in a competitive match. That was the 2010 UEFA Super Cup in Monaco, where Atleti (the reigning Europa League winners) defeated Inter (the European Cup holders) at Stade Louis II behind second-half goals from José Antonio Reyes and Sergio Agüero.

Inter ? another one of Diego Simeone?s former clubs ? will host the first leg at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (also known as San Siro) on Feb. 20, and Atlético will get the second leg at the Metropolitano on March 13. It?s a potential advantage for Atleti, and a reward for Los Rojiblancos winning Group E. Inter finished level on points with Real Sociedad in Group D but came second on goal difference.
