UEFA Champions League 2008-2009 last 16 draw

d trophy all want to win...

bout half an hour ago...d draw 4 d UEFA Champions League last 16 juz concluded...quite a unfavourable draw in my opinion...4 ur info...d final 16 clubs in d Champions League r as follows:

1) Arsenal FC (Eng)

2) Chelsea FC (Eng)

3) Liverpool FC (Eng)

4) Manchester United (Eng)

5) AS Roma (Ita)

6) Inter Milan (Ita)

7) Juventus (Ita)

8) Atletico Madrid (Spa)

9) FC Barcelona (Spa)

10) Real Madrid CF (Spa)

11) Villarreal CF (Spa)

12) FC Porto (Por)

13) Sporting Clube de Portugal (Por)

14) FC Bayern Munichen (Ger)

15) Olympique Lyonnais (Fra)
16) Panathinaikos FC (Gre)

d draw was made with d teams who topped their group playing against d second place team in d group...teams frm d same group or same country cannot play against each other...as thus, d draw was as followed:

1) Chelsea FC (ENG) v Juventus (ITA)
2) Villarreal CF (ESP) v Panathinaikos FC (GRE)
3) Sporting Clube de Portugal (POR) v FC Bayern München (GER)
4) Club Atlético de Madrid (ESP) v FC Porto (POR)
5) Olympique Lyonnais (FRA) v FC Barcelona (ESP)
6) Real Madrid CF (ESP) v Liverpool FC (ENG)
7) Arsenal FC (ENG) v AS Roma (ITA)
8) FC Internazionale Milano (ITA) v Manchester United FC (ENG)

*note dat d teams on d left r d second place teams & will play d 1st leg at home & d 2nd leg away with d appliance of away goals rule...

well, in my opinion, it was a very unfavourable draw 4 most teams especialy Manchester United & Liverpool...though i wouldn't care so much bout Liverpool anyway...apart frm d fact dat we could met each other in d quarter-finals if we progress...in all, d draws bout Mr.Ranieri going bck 2 Chelsea, Barca geting an easy tie & of coz Mr.Jose going bck 2 eng...& against MU mind u! damn...was hoping 4 Lyon, Sporting or Atletico...but CERTAINLY nt Inter or Real...sigh...anyway, d draws oledi bein made...it's official...there's ntg u can do bout it, xcept live with it...well, i certainly hope MU will beat Inter...don't wanna hv a repeat of 03-04 last 16 wen Jose(wif Porto dat time) came to Old Trafford & beat us den did his stupid dance on d touchline...here's hoping by d time d game comes, Berbatove will hv finally found his scoring boots, Rooney & Ronaldo on fire, Rio & Vida as miserly as ever & Edwin as inspired as ever...oh & Inter's Quresma still underperforming & Ibrahimovic left his scoring boots bck in Sweden...hahahaha...well, cheerio 4 now. enjoy d draw & a Merry Chirstmas & a Happy New Year 2 all....HoHoHoHoHo.....
