Champions League 06/07 Knockout Fixtures

[AJ]

Liverpool tackle holders Barcelona, while Jose Mourinho faces a return to Porto in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

The tie of the round sees Rafa Benitez return to Spain to take on favourites and holders Barcelona.

Chelsea boss Mourinho faces an emotional return to Porto where he won the Champions League in 2004.

Manchester United have been handed a favourable tie against Lille, who beat United in last season's competition.

Last season's losing finalists Arsenal face a clash with Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven.

Celtic have been handed a tough draw after being paired with Italian giants Milan.

Real Madrid take on Bayern Munich in the last 16, while Serie A leaders Internazionale tackle Valencia.

French champions Lyon have been drawn against Italian side Roma, while Real Madrid take on old foes Bayern Munich.

Full draw:

Porto v Chelsea

Celtic v Milan

PSV Eindhoven v Arsenal

Lille v Manchester United

Roma v Lyon

Barcelona v Liverpool

Real Madrid v Bayern Munich

Internazionale v Valencia

The games will be played on 20/21 February and 6/7 March.

Almost all of those games are massive as far as I’m concerned. Chelsea/Porto is sure to be the dirtiest game this year. I’m hoping Celtic can pull off an upset.

Hah, we're getting mullered!

Thought I'd just put this here, saves making a new thread. But once again, BBC.co.uk gets commentary line of the night:

2106: The closest we've come to a second-half goal at Porto. Dider Drogba fires a tame, low effort wide.

2105: Lyon boss Gerard Houllier picks his nose.

2103: Ronaldinho fires the resultant free-kick from that Deco-Mohamed Sissoko something-about-nothing incident over the bar.

[IAceI]

Should just make it universal and say "wait for the whistle" and be done with it in my eyes >_>

[therockbox]

UEFA aren't actually considering making Man U replay their game with Lille, are they?

[Turbo Yannis]

If that happens, the FA should make Chelsea and Arsenal replay the 2-2 draw at Highbury in the 04/05 season when Henry done that

Honestly, Lille are being complete twats about it. They're not the first team this has happened to and they won't be the last.

Let's just restart the leagues from scratch so no one will have been affected.

Sounds fair to me.

INTER/VALENCIA FIGHT!~

The commentator makes me laugh, because he says "look at those crazy westerners, they don't want peace", "that black player he's crazy, he only wants to fight" and "and they say they don't want the Turks in the EU".

Oh, and with Barca/Inter out this CL is awesome. There's no more clear favourites and anyone could make it now.

[ONO]

Ahahahaha. Who is the guy running away? XD

[Farmer Reil]

The guy in the grey tracksuit is clearly fouled twice, but HE doesn't dive.

I hope Andy Johnson was watching.

[Big Red Fury]

If that was Navarro and I believe it was, what a bitch move. Run onto the pitch, sucker punch a guy and break his nose, then run for your life. Actions of a queer I say.

[AJ]

They should strip Arjen Robben of his goal due to that horrendous dive of his in the first half and let Porto go through instead.

[ONO]

Predictions, lads?

I say;

Arsenal 2-1 PSV

Man Utd 3 - 0 Lille

AC Milan 1 - 1 Celtic

Bayern Munich 0 - 1 - Real Madrid

[lanky316]

hmmm...

Arsenal 2 - 1 PSV - I can see PSV scoring and going through on the away goals bt I think Arsenal will in o the night.

Man United 2 - 0 Lille I think at OT Man Yoo wll have the extra edge especially with the goal advantage.

AC Milan 1 - 0 Celtic - Depends when Milan score, if it's eary could blow tem away

Bayern 2 - 0 Madrid - Madrid aren'tthat good so I reckon at home Bayern will be comfortabl.

[Evafreak]

Arsenal out and Man Utd through whilst Celtic goes to extra time now sounds like Boruc is having a blinder

[ONO]

Madrid out.

[Lord Nibbler]

Shame about Celtic, but all the other results were good'uns. Nice to see Madrid's decline continue, and Arsenal crash out.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Out of three cups in ten days?! Bwahahahaha excellence. Sorry if I don't shed a tear.

So well done Man Utd, well done Liverpool, well done Chelsea and unlucky Celtic.

[Number of the Breast]

I'm a Rangers fan, so I was fine seeing Celtic make it to this stage, but any further and I'd have been unhappy, they'd never have let it go that they did better this year than we did by making history last year. Unlucky Arsenal, lol at Celtic, and congratulations to Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea.
