United really look like they've got a cakewalk into the CL there, pity Spurs went out so early.

Expecting Real/Barca/Bayern to somehow avoid eachother like they do every year

[OsirisMVZ]

I think we're due a couple of belter ties in the CL to be honest. I reckon there'll be at least one tie that is clubs from the same nation, wouldn't surprise me if its Dortmund v Bayern.

Please send Utd to Beşiktaş

Schalke or Lyon would knock them out, don't worry.

Munich vs. Real Madrid final for me.

Schalke are sitting 11th in the Bundesliga and Lyon are only 4th in Ligue 1, I'd be shocked if either pulled it off

Remind me where United are in the league again.... can't seem to recall... they just move up and down the table like a yo-yo 

They scraped through against Rostov, the first decent team will see them off.

[NaivetyinBlack]

Lyon will rip the mancs apart. They have so much attacking talent (which Ligue 1 side doesn't !) with a dodgy defense which United wouldn't score against anyway. I hope they draw Lyon. Would be fun.

In the CL, I hope Monaco avoids the trinity of Barca, Bayern and Real.

[Lycan]

No potential easy ties there for Leicester. I think the way Atleti play would cause them most problems. Vardy would get no space to run into and Atleti would be up for a scrap as well.

[Buck Pete]

Leicester aside that is a pretty stellar CL lineup.

Fair play to Leicester though and anything they get from here on is a bonus.

[Zoomers]

Not sure why I'm watching this. (or plan to at least )

[Greatness]

Juventus v Atletico and Dortmund v Monaco would be boss, would be a meeting of sides who reflect each other in terms of how they approach the game.

[NaivetyinBlack]

Monaco should get Leicester. Scourge of the English teams.

[LallanaInPyjamas]

Juventus v Atletico and Dortmund v Monaco would be boss, would be a meeting of sides who reflect each other in terms of how they approach the game.

Is that boss though? I quite like contrasting styles going up against each other like Bayern v Atletico in last year's semi.

Personally would love to see Leicester v Barca for that reason. Barca would probably smash them but I wouldn't bet against another Vardy away goal.

[Crosby Nick]

Lyon will rip the mancs apart. They have so much attacking talent (which Ligue 1 side doesn't !) with a dodgy defense which United wouldn't score against anyway. I hope they draw Lyon. Would be fun.

When did the French League get full of goals.  Always used to be the lowest scoring of the top leagues didn't it?

[HeartAndSoul]

Look at the state of that Europa last 8 compared to last year 

Braga
Shakhtar Donetsk
Villarreal
Sparta Prague
Athletic Bilbao
Sevilla
Borussia Dortmund
Liverpool

Shakhtar, Villareal, Bilbao, Seville, Liverpool and Dortmund would have all faniced their chances this year against these dross left in this. Lucky Mancs.


Hopefully Leicester get Bayern or Barca and get absolutely destroyed 

[Lycan]

Monaco should get Leicester. Scourge of the English teams.

I actually think with the way they play they'd be possibly the best side for Leicester to face. Atletico Madrid would be a nightmare for Leicester in my opinion.

[CheshireDave]

  Always used to be the lowest scoring of the top leagues didn't it?

Ligue 1 is very consistent in the amount of goals scored per game over the last 5 seasons.

So far this year 2.54 gpg
2015/16 - 2.56 gpg
2014/15 - 2.49 gpg
2013/14 - 2.45 gpg
2012/13 - 2.54 gpg

Not particularly high or low.

[Samie]

Leicester V Atletico Madrid

Dortmund V Monaco

Bayern Munich V Real Madrid

Juventus V Barcelona

[J_Kopite]

Expecting Real/Barca/Bayern to somehow avoid eachother like they do every year

Bayern vs Real, should be good for one of them out

[b_joseph]

Good ties...one of the huge clubs going out. Dortmund or Monaco for sure in a semi. Juventus with a great chance at 2015 revenge.

Good ties. AM, Bayern, Monaco and Juve.

[puroresu_kid]

dortmund v monaco should be fun!

Should be a cracker

[J_Kopite]

Hopefully the winner comes from the Atleti/Leicesty/Dorty/Monaco-y ties.

[Gerry Attrick]

A couple of cracking ties. Pick any score you like for Monaco-Dortmund. Could be 10-10 on aggregate. Bayern v Real should be fun too.

[Dim Glas]

Leicester V Atletico Madrid

Dortmund V Monaco

Bayern Munich V Real Madrid

Juventus V Barcelona

groovy, hopefully the end of Leicester.

I'll be rooting for Dortmund, Bayern in the other two, and I don't care which of Juventus and Barcelona knock each other out

[LallanaInPyjamas]

Absolute belter ties other than Leicester Atletico I think.

[Samie]

[thisyearisouryear]

Ugh! Would hate to see United win Europa.  Someone please knock them out soon!

[OsirisMVZ]

We'll be among these teams in the CL draw next season lads

[Dim Glas]

Dortmund are getting some very nice draws, avoiding the big boys still 

[SyukriJ]

Damn, I was hoping for Leicester vs Bayern so Ancelotti and co. can better the aggregate score they had against Arsenal.

[Gerry Attrick]

Dortmund are getting some very nice draws, avoiding the big boys still 

I think Dortmund-Monaco will be the tie of the round. I just can't envision a scenario where goals are in short supply, both teams are shite at the back and lethal in attack.

[classycarra]

Probably the worst draw possible for Leicester. Try and counter attack into gaps behind the back 4 against Simeone ha. At least they can visit a great European stadium and city

[Buck Pete]

Hope Monaco and Real Madrid go through

[b_joseph]

Dortmund are getting some very nice draws, avoiding the big boys still 

Hey says until Mbappe races through the Dortmund defense, constantly.

[Dim Glas]

apart from that ridiculous game vs Warsaw, Dortmund haven't been that leaky in the CL.  But I suppose monaco will give them a game, I'd make them big favourites though, BVB that is. They'll manage the games better than City, and despite Tuchel wanting to be Guardiola-Lite, he's a little more pragmatic!

[Samie]

While Reus and Aubamayang do the same the other way.

[Dim Glas]

While Reus and Aubamayang do the same the other way.

well, Reus will probably be crocked  But yeah, Auba and Dembele will turn on the jets for sure. 

[J_Kopite]

While Reus and Aubamayang do the same the other way.

I can see it being 8-7 or something mental like that.

[Studgotelli]

Madrid Munich and Dortmund Monaco should be good.

Worst draw for Leicester imo. Vardy will get nothing against Atletis defence.

[Greatness]

I'd make Juventus slight favorites against Barcelona, judging by Barca's performance against PSG especially in Paris.

Juve take a first leg into the Camp Nou, I see them holding onto it because of the experience and pragmatism of that side.
