Champions League last 16 draw Monday 7th Nov 11am

[Nineteenx]

Only 4 teams we can draw, and I would bet on it and hope on it being Porto or Benfica, in that order of preference

Porto
Benfica
Bayern
Real

Bit of a piss take with the strength of the other groups being generally poor and that only Bayern of the sides to top their group finished the groups stages with more points than us, teams we can draw in bold

Group winners (seeded)
Bayern (GER)
Benfica (POR)
Chelsea (ENG)
Man City (ENG)
Napoli (ITA)
Porto (POR)
Real Madrid (ESP)
Tottenham (ENG)

Group runners-up (unseeded)
Club Brugge (BEL)
Dortmund (GER)
Frankfurt (GER)
Inter (ITA)
Leipzig (GER)
Liverpool (ENG)
Milan (ITA)
Paris Saint-Germain (FRA)

With a little bit of luck, PSG's inability to top their group may just have a ripple effect that we could stand to benefit from.

Getting Porto or Benfica would be brilliant. We'd stand a genuine chance of reaching the quarter-finals.

Real or Porto my guess

Maybe Benfica..that old story where a new signing for one club plays against his old club.
Which club do you think is best placed to knock out City (apart from us of course!)?

Bayern, Real Madrid or PSG at a later stage of the tournament perhaps?

Is it fair to say that order of preference for most of us for the last-16 would be -

- Porto
- Benfica
- Bayern Munich
- Real Madrid

Would really love to avoid Real Madrid ideally - though if we eventually face them I'd rather do so over two legs than a Final.

First leg matches being played on 14/15 and 21/22 February, with the second legs on 7/8 and 14/15 March.

Oh shit

[trueandred]

Real Madrid, so be it, we have a score to settle.

[Insidious]

Leipzig v Manchester City
Club Brugge v Benfica
Liverpool v Real Madrid
Milan v Tottenham
Frankfurt v Napoli
Dortmund v Chelsea
Internazionale v Porto
PSG v Bayern Munich

You're always going to play a good team at some point in the knock-out stages.
