Champions League last 16 draw discussion

Would Like to see:

Man Utd vs. Galatasaray (Moyes to school Mancini again, or Mancini to beat United again )
Dortmund vs. Zenit (BVB deserve an easy draw after topping the group of Death)
Atletico Madrid vs. Olympiacos (Clash of white and red stripes )
PSG vs. City (Oil money )
Real Madrid vs. Schalke (Destruction :proud)
Chelsea vs. Leverkusen (Schurrle homecoming )
Barcelona vs. Arsenal (The revenge)
Bayern vs. Milan (The revenge of 2007 )

indeed they can't

Barca/Man City, considering they haven't faced each other?

you've got to love these cocky gooners!!
haven't been anywhere near a CL final for ages, but are confident they'll beat anybody!

The trolling potential between Utd fans and La-Liga-fans-who-bum-suck-Aguero-and-co would be amazing

Teams of the same nation cannot face off within the 1st round, Lexy.

Poor, Lex. You'd think he'd know that by now

Manchester United v Olympiacos
Bayer Leverkusen v Atletico Madrid
Real Madrid v Arsenal
Galatasaray v Chelsea
PSG v Manchester City
Schalke v Barcelona
Bayern Munich v Zenit
Borussia Dortmund v Milan

That's what I'd like to see in the next round.

Not sure I see the correlation between being in a CL final and being able to beat anyone

yes, that's a real head-scratcher.

Indeed. You live up to your handle

couldn't care less who we draw, confident of beating all.

It's not cocky, it's nothing to lose mentality. If we so want to progress, we should do better at San Paolo. Now that happened, all other teams are favorite against us but then again It's 2 legs tie, who knows.

As long as we avoid Bayern I am confident we can beat any team. Moyes is a cl specialist

Honestly, I don't care who we face. We should beat any team if we want to win the Champions League. Only reason I don't want to face City because I want them to play against Real Madrid and knock them out from Round 16.

Not sure who the "easier" matchup would be for Arsenal considering the easiest teams would be Chelsea and United, but they would play Arsenal quite hard given familiarity of opponent.

Wenger shouldn't of taken the Napoli game so lightly. Even if they lost points on the weekend to City they could still win the title. With the wrong draw they aren't even going to get a sniff of the round of 8.

Moyes vs Allegri

City vs Barca ---> City
Arsenal vs Atleti ------> Atleti
Olympiakos vs Real Madrid ----> Real
Milan vs Bayern -------> Bayern
Zenith vs Dortmund ---------> Dortmund
Galatasaray vs Chelsea ------> Galatasaray
Leverkusen vs PSG --------> Psg
Schalke vs United -------> Schalke

only the best teams left

I really want to avoid Athletico, the way they play doesn''t suit us at all.

1. Group winners can't face each other
2. Teams from same nation can't face each other
3. Teams from same group can't face each other

What are the other rules, if any!!!

When the opportunity presents itself, Milan must always draw Barca

it doesn't suit anyone trust me. They can win against ALL teams that have gone through

so god damn disciplined it makes us look like a team that plays in the park

would be a good occasion to get rid of a bogeyman opponent. On the other hand, we might just lose

We have never lost to Bayern. I still remember the last time we played in 2007. 2-2 at the San Siro and then 0-2 win for Milan in Munich. Seedorf & Inzaghi Great game!

Atleti vs real madrid final you heard it here first

atleti will take out bayern for us and we will get schalke in the semis. brb searching for the easiest path to the final

iftikhar wrote:What are the other rules, if any!!!

I think there are TV rules, too. In Germany Bayern and Dortmund play on different matchdays, for example, so I guess they might make sure that happens, too. AFAIK Barcelona and Real and some of the English teams are kept apart, too.
