UEFA Champions/Europa League Knockout Phase Draw [15th December 2014]

Arsene Wenger is dreaming of Monaco and that is not entirely down to the romantic notion that he has yet to return in competition to the principality since leaving the club 20 years ago.
Monaco, one of six teams Arsenal can be paired with in Monday’s draw for the Champions League last 16, are struggling in the French league after selling James Rodriguez and loaning out Radamel Falcao.
Porto is another option he would take ahead of the other four: European champions Real Madrid, German champions Bayern Munich, Spanish champions Atletico Madrid or Barcelona.

They're 6th in Ligue 1, I'd say this was probably one of the easiest draws, the1gooner?

Could have been better for Arsenal but then also a lot worse.

Only Basel would have been better IMO.

Lol those draws. 100% legit.

That's what City are thinking.

Their front 3 is potentially more dangerous than Madrids' IMO, once they start to click anyway, but Barca are pretty horrendous at the back. Honestly wouldn't shock me if City pulled it off. Good trip for their fans too.

RIP Schalke though.

Ok maybe not. Forgot Aguero is out.

About time we got a decent draw, we should beat Monaco. I thought we were only allowed to play Barca or Bayern in the knockout stages :confused:

Azza · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:03

Guingamp or Aalborg please!

Cosimo · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:10

Chelsea play in Paris on Tuesday 17th February and Stamford Bridge on Wednesday 11th March.

He will be back by then.

I am actually shocked we got Monaco, was fully expecting Barca or Bayern. Really good chance for us to get through now!

Cosimo · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:14

Young Boys v Everton

Azza · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:15

That'll be alright I suppose.

Azza · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:23

Google's 'Young Boys' to find out more...

:/

Azza · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:27

Going to be tough for Liverpool... Besiktas, Inter and Foirentina left now.

Liverpool get...

Cosimo · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:28

Liverpool v Beşiktaş

Azza · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:29

Tough draws for Liverpool, Spurs and Celtic to be honest.

Cosimo · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:29

Spurs v Fiorentina
Celtic v Internazionale

Look on the bright side - another chance for Steve Gerrard Gerrard to slip on his ****ing arse, and give it to Demba Ba.

Might not be so boring

Arsenal worst English team by a mile and they get the easiest draw by a mile, typical
