It's next week. UEFA will wait until the Europa League group stages have been completed so they can make both sets of draws together on Friday 17th.

A: FC Internazionale Milano
Can play: Schalke, Man United, Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea, Madrid, Shakhtar


Schalke or Shakhtar please... anyone else, and we might as well not turn up... At the mo, Barca will probably score 10 against us per leg!

G: Real Madrid CF
Can play: Inter, Lyon, København, Roma, Marseille, Arsenal


Who's going to knock them out this year?

hope Kobenhavn wins the CL

Theres going to be at least one Serie A vs EPL match up. I predict Chelsea vs Milan.

serie A are going out in the 1/8 finals

All are tad poor

København please

At least we have no chance of playing a German team this time!

Seriously (in my best kas impression), I'm pretty sure that any one we draw will be the favourites so bring on Inter just so that everyone can comment about how our castoffs are better than Kaka, Ronaldo, etc. Would be awesome!

Not to mention Mourinho Vs Rafa.

Please GOD GIVES US FCK

A: Tottenham Hotspur FC
Can play: Lyon, Valencia, København, Roma, Marseille, Milan

As much as I'd relish a glamour tie against Milan, an easier route to the quarters via Copenhagen would be more preferable.

I'd be happy to draw Roma actually, as I feel we've nothing to be afraid of from them. They have an appalling record against English clubs in the CL, I've also seen them play a few times and they are a team lacking pace. I think we'd have a field day running at them like we did against Inter.

Team I'd most like to avoid - oddly enough, Valencia.

The French sides would both be tough cookies.

I think you have all your chances against Roma.... Lyon are really shit this year eventhough we strenghten our team and the way Tottenham and Lyon play now, Lyon would get a bad beat.... How are Valencia this year? Surely not as strong without Silva and Villa.

F: Chelsea FC
Can play: Inter, Lyon, Valencia, København, Roma, Milan

Want Kobenhavn, we'll get Inter.

To be fair, unless it's Kobenhaven, the way we are playing lately, we're out.

You'd kill us. I'd rather draw Chelsea.

Man utd - Inter; Barcelona- Milan; Chelsea- Valencia; Real -Lyon; Bayern-Arsenal
would be interesting ties

The way CL draws usually go, we will probably get Real & Mourinho

And Ibra will get Pep...

I hope both Inter and Milan get the German teams. Beating them would be essential for the co-efficient ranking.

Yeah, its all about how quickly Serie A can regain that 3rd spot, which is definately lost at the end of this season... next season only the top 3 teams from Serie A will make the CL, which is also an opportunity to regain lost ground since Bundesliga's points will be divided by 7.

Serie A (at the mo) is 5.5 to 6 points behind La Liga & Bundesliga for the 2013 rankings. Italian teams have the rest of this season and the next 2 seasons to regain those points (relatively) to make a comeback within 2 seasons of losing the 4th spot....

Screw that! Bayern please

All our potential games are tricky, bar Roma. So Roma please!

*Team transferring from UEFA Champions League

The teams that finished 1st won't meet the teams transferring from champions league but the teams that finished second. Napoli are Lille are the two teams to avoid IMO.

Note that all the big Portuguese teams and Russian teams are there.

So Arsenal can only draw FC Schalke 04, Bayern, Barca or Real?

Lovely

Wait, are Atleti out????????????????

Roma-Shakhtar...great draw for the Ukrainians!

Spurs-Milan!!!!!!!!!!!



Barça will surely get Arsenal now...

Valencia-Schalke

Another 50-50 match, but another one which means more "big boys" will clash against each other.

Inter vs. Bayern! What a great tie!

Real Madrid vs Lyon...how many times will they play each other

Madrid will finally break their Round of 16 curse

Arsenal............

and it's Barcelona indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
