PSG (FRA) v Chelsea (ENG)
Man. City (ENG) v Barcelona (ESP)
Leverkusen (GER) v Atlético (ESP)
Juventus (ITA) v Dortmund (GER)
Schalke (GER) v Real Madrid (ESP)
Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) v Bayern (GER)
Arsenal (ENG) v Monaco (FRA)
Basel (SUI) v Porto (POR)

PSG, Jose will be happy with that

Worst possible draw for chelsea but hey, we beat them last year and we're stronger now whereas they're probably a bit weaker. We should go through.

Bad draw for city bit a great draw for Arsenal. I don't really get when people hope for the other teams from their country to get hard draws; I think in Europe you should want your country to do as well as possible. I'm sure there was talk a few years ago that if England (bar chelsea (A)) keep doing terribly in the CL then we could lose our 4th spot!

So through to the quarters imo:

PSG (FRA) v Chelsea (ENG)
Man. City (ENG) v Barcelona (ESP)
Leverkusen (GER) v Atlético (ESP)
Juventus (ITA) v Dortmund (GER)
Schalke (GER) v Real Madrid (ESP)
Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) v Bayern (GER)
Arsenal (ENG) v Monaco (FRA)
Basel (SUI) v Porto (POR)

Jose wanted PSG, reckons it will motivate the players by playing a good team early on
Shouldn't be a problem for us anyway

I can't remember. I just know for sure that a few years ago there was talk of the premier league possibly losing its 4th spot. Not saying it was close to happening but hey ho!

Leverkusen and Dortmund could cause upsets I reckon but otherwise your predictions look the most likely, Basel will forget how to play knockout games as usual
