Champions League Round of 16 Draw Revealed

Without doubt the pick of the Round of 16 matches will be SB taking on his old club when Barcelona meet Chelsea in what promises to be a classic.
Messi will be out to avenge their loss to Chelsea 2 season ago

It will be a chance for Barcelona to avenge their loss 2 campaigns ago, on a run which saw Chelsea eliminate Barca, Real Madrid and Manchester City on a dream run to the final - only to fall short courtesy of AC Milan and Zlaten Ibrahimovic.

Most pundits cannot see the same occuring this time round, with Chelsea's dream run of that season perhaps just dumb luck.

"Barcelona will be seriously way too strong for Chelsea, who have looked shaky towards the back end of the group stages." said Tommy Smyth form ESPN FC Presspass.

Falcao could be lethal for Athletico
"All they had to do was win their final match of the groups and they would have been top of the group and avoid this match - but they crapped themselves and now it'll be tough."

Fellow English favourites Man Utd have been pitted against Athletico Madrid, and although it seems a easy one for the Premier League big guns, but this one could end up trickier than most think.

"United haven't exactly set the world on fire this season - and they've struggled in the group stages again - I don't know - could be close." Tommy Smyth quoted.
