"He's a great professional so I'm sure he's going to do his best to help Real Madrid qualify for the next round, but going back there will be special for him."
Meanwhile, fellow Premier League outfit Arsenal were drawn against last season's beaten finalists, Bayern Munich, who have constructed a nine-point lead in the Bundesliga after a storming start to the season.
"We know Arsenal well," said Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
"That's fortunate and we can be happy about the draw. The game won't be a foregone conclusion and we should not under-estimate Arsenal."
In a remarkable quirk, the draw for the matches in February and March produced exactly the same ties as had been drawn in Wednesday's rehearsal.
Last 16 draw:
Galatasaray v Schalke, Celtic v Juventus, Arsenal v Bayern Munich, Shakhtar Donetsk v Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan v Barcelona, Valencia v PSG, Porto v Malaga.
