The first matches of his “16” phase developed in the worst way Champions League for the English teams, as none of the four managed to get a win, to simplify things ahead of the return matches.
In fact, three of them were defeated, specifically Chelsea 1-0 by the Dortmundwith the same score Tottenham from Milan and finally, Liverpool with 5-2 from Real Madrid which leaves them out of a shocking contingency, out of continuity from the institution.
The only team that managed to get a draw was Manchester Citywith the away 1-1 against Leipzig and compared to the others, it has the best chances to qualify.

So it is reasonable to ask when something similar has happened to English teams in the round of 16 either in the first legs or in the second leg.
To find the answer we have to go back nine years and the 2013/14 season. Then, the Manchester City had been defeated 0-2 by Barcelona, with the same score Arsenal by Bayern Munich, as well as Manchester United by Olympic. Only, Chelsea managed to draw 1-1 against Galatasaray.
