UEFA Champions League Round of 16

The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 has been drawn:

MANCHESTER CITY – BARCELONA
A first-ever match-up! Some say that City are favorite. Either way, this is by far the best match-up.

OLYMPIACOS – MANCHESTER UNITED
Despite being mediocre this year, with this easy draw Moyes' men just may advance.

MILAN  ATLETICO MADRID
First-ever match-up, and on any other year it would be good. As it is, Milan are as good as out.

BAYER LEVERKUSEN  PARIS ST. GERMAN
Easy peasy for the French champs. This should be the least interesting of them all.

GALATASARAY – CHELSEA
The most storied match. Mourinho vs. Drogba (so many stories) and Mourinho vs. Mancini (two former Inter coaches). Plus, both stadiums are hell to play in. Great drama coming up. Also a first-ever meeting.

SCHALKE 04  REAL MADRID
First-ever match-up. Should be easy for Ancelotti.

ZENIT ST. PETERSBURG  BORUSSIA DORTMUND
While a one-sided match on paper, Spalletti's men are dangerous and Klopp shouldn't underestimate them.

BAYERN MUNICH  ARSENAL
What could (would?) have been the final if Arsenal hadn't mucked up their group. Great game! I can't wait.
