With a difficult time qualifying from their group, Barcelona made life even tougher finishing 2nd and as a result have landed Manchester United in the round of 16 stage of the competition.
A former team of SB's big rival JM, Manchester United will be extra motivated to deliver the killer blow to SB's hopes of a 2nd Champions League title with Barcelona this year.
JM's current team, La Liga leader Real Madrid have themselves a difficult task of getting past Edinson Cavani's Napoli.
"This will be difficult, yes. " JM spoke after the draw announcement.
"But there is no easy games at this stage of the Champions League, and we must expect to play the best of Europe to win this title."
Barcelona boss SB looked concerned as he heard the draw, with his Barcelona team struggling on all fronts this season and will go into this tie only slight favorites.
Champions League action will resume after a forced break for International duty.
