Real Madrid v PSG is the standout match there. Chelsea v Barca feels like a game thats happened a dozen times in the last decade. Decent enough draws for Spurs, City, Liverpool and Utd though, all beatable I would say.
 
We're doing ok with these draws :cool:

Ourselves, Utd and City have got as good a draw as we could have hoped for, again. Obviously a very tricky game for Chelsea but I think Spurs could do ok vs Juve - Juve are no where near as good this season as last.
 
Juventus aren't doing too great this season so Spurs have a decent chance.

City should be fine barring some season ending injuries to half their team.

Liverpool I think will be in for a shock against Porto, they've been very strong this season.

United should win but Sevilla are a solid team and could cause an upset.

Chelsea will need to find solid form to beat Barca, I can't see them winning that.

They did just finish 2nd in the easiest group from the first round. Of course it's possible that they could win but I think it's fair to say that we're a fair bit stronger than they are.
 
Grim draw for Chelsea.

Real vs PSG! Great for the English clubs as in my mind these two are the favourites for the entire competition, get rid of one of them at this stage.

Yep. With there being a very good chance that 3, if not 4 of our sides will go through it's beginning to look quite likely that we could have a PL side in the final again for the first time in a long time.

Great draw for City, United and Liverpool. I think Spurs have a good chance against Juve as well. Chelsea obviously have the toughest draw, but then that was likely given they only had three possible teams they could draw. Real Madrid vs PSG is the tie of the round, that should be really exciting!
