Uefa champions league, First knockout round draw

cfloo

This will take place in Nyon on the 19th of December.

We finished first in our group so we will play a second placed team.

Teams that finished first

Roma
Panathinaikos
Barcelona
Liverpool
Man Utd
Bayern Munich
FC Porto
Juventus

Teams that finished second

Chelsea
Inter Milan
Sporting
Atletico Madrid
Villarreal
Lyon
Arsenal
Real Madrid


We cannot draw another English team in this round or a team from the group we qualified from which leaves:


Inter Milan

Whats the odds on us getting a visit from Jose? They are flying high at the top of Seria A and although they had a dodgy group stage they would be one to avoid.


Sporting Lisbon

The Portuguse are currently 3rd in their domestic table and qualified second in their group a point behind Barcelona with 12 points.


Villarreal

2nd in La Liga at the moment and they play good football and have some very good players. They finished with 9 points behind Man United in their group. Would be a tough draw.


Lyon

A Champions League regular who always seem to make it to this stage. Not as strong as they use to be and IMO would be the best draw to get. Currently top of Ligue 1.


Real Madrid

The big team with loads of money and still cant get anything right! Ramos in charge now and might be one to avoid because you never know what to expect from them.


We will play the first leg away on 24/25.02.2009 and the second leg at home on 10/11.03.2009
