Knew the Barca-Chelsea number would be high didn't realize it would be that high.

United will probably "randomly" draw Shakhtar

That chart gives them an over 50% chance of drawing Bayern, Juventus, or Real. Confirmed bogus.

Can't wait for

United vs Shakhtar
Liverpool vs. Basel
Manchester City vs. Porto
Roma vs. Bayern
PSG vs. Juve
Tottenham vs. Sevilla
Besiktas vs. Real Madrid
Barcelona vs. Chelsea

You can pretty much count on some teams getting the easiest draw possible because they already did the last round, and it seems like repeat matchups always happen in this.

United and Liverpool exchanging their cupcake group stage opponents would be funny

I dunno about cupcake draws. I mean RBL and Monaco had an easier group than Liverpool and couldn't make the cut.

Thanks for the laugh. RBL and Monaco both had 3 other competent teams in their group. Liverpool not so much.

Did the lottery draw and got...

Chelsea vs Besiktas
Munich vs Man City
Sevilla vs PSG
Basel vs Barca
Juventus vs Liverpool
Porto vs Man United
Madrid vs Roma
Donetsk vs Spurs.

Those would be really interesting and very offencive match ups IMHO. Also @Evilo is probably having trouble sleeping due to the amount of EPL clubs making it through to the final 16.

Yes this is true. Groups where anyone can advance are the toughest. There were four teams fighting for a spot in that group instead of three; name value or not.

Liverpool is a very clear tier over Sevilla/Spartak, and then you have Maribor lol.
Sevilla and Liverpool are close. Spartak is pretty far away though. Sevilla know how to execute in Europe. No one should want to play them.

Sevilla and Spartak each could have topped that group. Porto and Besiktas were far from great.

Just because Spartak won the Russian league in May doesn't make them a good team in December. Or even September. They were a horrible side that parked the bus in Moscow and somehow got a miracle point when Liverpool should have scored five goals. They tried to do that again and clearly it isn't working on Liverpool at the moment.
