2007 winners AC Milan

Title holders AC Milan will face 2006 runners-up Arsenal while last season's finalists Liverpool take on Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

The Rossoneri, who won two Champions League titles in five years, will have a tough task against an in-form Arsenal side, who top the Premiership standings.

Italian champions Inter also got an unfavorable draw, having been paired with Liverpool. Rafael Benitez's men always prove to be formidable in knock-outs.

Spanish giants Barcelona will be pleased with the outcome of the draw as they were paired against Scottish champions Celtic.

Although Celtic are difficult to beat at home, they aren't likely to make an upset against the star-studded Barcelona.

	Barcelona to face Celtic

Real Madrid, who hold the record for the most Champions League triumphs with nine titles, face the ambitious Roma.

Premiership holders Manchester United will play French counterparts Lyon as they aim to capture Europe's premier competition for the first time since 1999.

Chelsea, who reached the semi-finals three times in the last four seasons, tackle Greek side Olympiakos.

Round of 16 will also witness a relatively balanced contest between Germany's Schalke and Portuguese champions Porto.

Sevilla, who won the UEFA Cup two times in a row, take on Turkish side Fenerbahce.

You , got one right , but I think that's what anyone would have predicted the draw is a bit unfair....

[Cristiano Best 07]

I'll give you my thoughts on the draw.

Barcelona vs. Celtic: I actually look for this to be closer than the experts think. If Celtic can hold their own at Celtic Park I actually think they could give Barcelona.

1st Leg: 1-0 Celtic. 2nd Leg: 2-0 Barca. Winner: Barcelona

Man United vs. Lyon: I'm a little concerned for United. They'll be coming away from the Manchester so they may be a little rattled before the 1st leg. The second leg is in between games against 2 struggling teams.

1st Leg:0-0 Draw. 2nd Leg: 3-0 United. Winner: United.

Porto vs. Schalke: Tough one. Like everyone says this may be an instant classic that's under the radar.

1st Leg: 2-1 Schalke. 2nd Leg: 2-1 Porto. Winner: Porto after extra time.

Inter vs. Liverpool: Very good. I was secretly hoping this might happen. `Pool is gonna put up on heck of a fight. I'm gonna be watching this one. To great stadiums involved too. San Siro & Anfield. I'm gonna go with an upset.

1st Leg: 0-0 Draw. 2nd Leg: 1-1 Draw. Winner: Liverpool on away goals.

Real Madrid vs. Roma: Madrid won't have to much of a problem. They just need to stay healthy.

1st Leg: 1-0 Madrid. 2nd Leg: 2-1 Madrid. Winner: Real Madrid.

Milan vs. Arsenal: Strap your seat belts. Had Arsenal won their group this could very well be the final. I'm not sure. Arsenal has been a little shaky away from Emirates. However, Milan hasn't looked to great at all this year, especially at San Siro. Anybody's guess is as good as mine.

1st Leg: 2-1 Arsenal. 2nd Leg: 1-0 Milan. Winner: Milan on away goals.

Chelsea vs. Olympiacos: Not close Chelsea may be able to even bother trying.

1st Leg: 1-0 Chelsea. 2nd Leg: 1-0 Chelsea. Winner: Chelsea

Sevilla vs. Fenerbahce: Again a very good looking side in Sevilla may sleep walk through this.

1st Leg: 2-0 Sevilla. 2nd Leg: 2-0 Sevilla. Winner: Sevilla.
