NYON, Switzerland -- In another edition of a one-sided Champions League rivalry, Bayern Munich will play Arsenal in the round of 16 for the third time in five seasons.Bayern ousted Arsenal in back-to-back seasons in the first knockout round in 2013 and 14, and also in 2005. Still, they traded home wins in the group stage last season, and this time Arsenal is seeded so will host the return match on March 7.Arsenal are a strong team and I think currently they are better than in previous years, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said.Also in Mondays draw, defending champion Real Madrid will host Napoli first on Feb. 15, and Barcelona will travel first to play Paris Saint-Germain on Feb. 14.Madrid is tackling history this season. It set a club record streak of 35 games unbeaten on Saturday, and is aiming to be the first team in 25 years of the Champions League format to retain the European Cup trophy.This is a stiff challenge, Madrid director Emilio Butragueno said. We have to be at our best to break history. We have to be focused on every detail.One of the best balanced round of 16 draws in recent years -- with Bayern and Madrid unseeded as runners-up in a group -- was also dominated by the elite. All 16 teams come from leagues ranked in Europes top six when the season started.Leicester is the only round of 16 newcomer and was drawn to play first at Sevilla, the Europa League winner for the past three seasons.Also, it was: Manchester City vs. Monaco; Benfica vs. Borussia Dortmund; FC Porto vs. Juventus; and Bayer Leverkusen vs. Atletico Madrid.The Man City-Monaco pairing will pit the underachieving defense of coach Pep Guardiolas team against the highest scorers in any of the top European leagues. Monaco is averaging three goals per game in the French league.We are the best attack in Europe, we score goals, Monaco vice president Vadim Vasilyev said. We should travel there fearless and play our football.Borussia Dortmund, which set a Champions League record by scoring 21 goals in a six-game group stage, will play at Benfica first.The first legs will be played from Feb. 14-22, with return matches from March 7-15.The final will be on June 3 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.UEFA will pay clubs 5.5 million euros ($5.8 million) for playing in the round of 16.

In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season.

The face at the top of U.S. womens gymnastics will change next month when longtime national team coordinator Martha Karolyi retires following the Summer Olympics.The address that doubles as the programs heartbeat will not.USA Gymnastics has reached an agreement with Karolyi and husband Bela to purchase the training facility the couple owns in Huntsville, Texas. Financial terms were not disclosed, but a closing date of Aug. 24 has been set, just three days after the closing ceremony in Rio de Janeiro and five days before Martha Karolyis 74th birthday.It has everything we could possibly ask for, USA Gymnastics president Steve Penny told The Associated Press. Along with what it represents to our heart and soul, as a physical facility, we couldnt go out and build it. Its been custom made what for what we want and need. You add up all the elements and its like Dang, what an easy decision.The Karolyis established the rustic estate in Sam Houston National Forest about an hour north of Houston in 1983, eventually expanding it to 2,000 acres. USA Gymnastics is buying 36.2 acres, including three training gyms, housing for up to 300 athletes and coaches as well as a dance studio, dining hall, medical and rehab facilities and recreational areas. The facility will also get a new name: the USA Gymnastics Athlete Development Center at the Karolyi Ranch.The Karolyis will keep their residence, a hunting lodge Bela Karolyi built and the remaining acreage. USA Gymnastics will have right of first refusal if the Karolyis decide in the future to sell off other parcels of land.The USA Gymnastics board of directors unanimously approved the sale, pointing to the amenities, the location and the unique aspects of the ranch -- which includes a vast array of wildlife from camels to peacocks -- that have helped turn the womens national team into an international powerhouse. The five-woman team Karolyi will lead to Brazil next month is heavily favored to back up the team gold medal it won with ease in London four years ago.This place has stood the test of time, Penny said. There things we have to make sure we do a little bit differently, we have to fix some things. Nothing that is going to require significant work. Its sturdy. Its a sturdy place to be.Karolyi announced her decision to step down after the Rio Games last summer. The Karolyis are expected to maintain a presence at the ranch,, and USA Gymnastics is considering turning an older portion of the main gym -- one lined with pictures, medals and trophies from major competitions dating back to the 1980s -- into a museum to honor the Karolyi legacy.ddddddddddddThey are still a part of us, Penny said. They will always be a part of USA Gymnastics. Theyre still both going to play vital roles for us in the future. Martha will always want to drift into the gym and well always want her to do that.Bela Karolyi joked the sale means freedom for him to do as he pleases on the ranch while his wife of 54 years travels to visit family in her native Romania. Though the deal has been in the works for a while, the formal exchange of power will mark the end of an era. The Karolyis defected from Romania to the U.S. in 1981 and the ranch played a vital part in the U.S.s rise from also-ran to dominant force.When Martha Karolyi was elevated to national team coordinator in 2001, she installed a centralized system that required national team members to make regular visits to the ranch for training and to foster a team environment that can be difficult to cultivate in an individual sport. The U.S. has produced the last three Olympic all-around champions -- with reigning three-time world champion Simone Biles expected to make it four straight in Rio -- while adding two Olympic team silvers to go with the gold from London.Once everybody sees that this system is working and producing world and Olympic champions, they believe in it, Martha Karolyi said last fall. We believe they will be hopefully following in a same direction down the road. We want to make sure this is safe for generation after generation.While Penny considers Aug. 24 as Karolyis official retirement date, there has been no decision yet on her replacement.I have yet to have a formal discussion with anyone that has expressed interest, Penny said. Ive met with the coaches and told them our main goal is to get through Rio and not worry about making it a distraction.The Karolyis have pledged to donate $250,000 to USA Gymnastics after the sale.Thats how solid our relationship is with them, Penny said. This has been a very smooth and cooperative effort to get to a good place where everybody is comfortable with what were doing. ' ' '
