    Juve, Man Utd and PSG pumped out already.

    It's glorious.

    Emery is a master at European football man.

    One of the weakest looking Quarters in the CL for a long time it seems.

    Benfica
    Villarreal
    Atletico
    Real Madrid
    Chelsea
    Liverpool
    Man City
    Bayern

    Hopefully Liverpool, Man City and Bayern don't end up on the same side of the draw and can't play each other in the final.

    The Yella Submarine are one of my favourite clubs.

    Two classy clubs in Benfica and Villarreal through to the quarters whilst pigs like PSG, Man Utd and Juventus get pumped out.

    Lovely stuff.

    Chelsea vs Real
    City vs Atletico
    Villarreal vs Bayern
    Benfica vs Liverpool

    City, Bayern and Liverpool should get through meaning the eventual winners will also qualify through their league making our league winners qualifying automatically.

    That Liverpool v Bayern semi is going to be great.

    The other side of the draw is too close to call who will or won't make the other semi.

    Wonder how Chelsea vs Real will get on with them both being mega defensive

    Hope Villarreal win it, but obviously doubtful. Failing that, hopefully Bayern. Anyone but City or Chelsea really. Find myself disliking Real Madrid less these days for some reason. I'll never be a fan but I'd rather they won than Chelsea or City anyway.

    Actually reckon Atletico will do it against city, simeone just knows how to get a result doesn’t he. Some great games though and agree with Liverpool in the final, think they’ll win it

    Almost impossible to beat Liverpool. They are in top form and we are 3rd in the Portuguese league. But one can dream. Last time Liverpool and Benfica faced each other in the Champions League was in the last 16 of 2005/06. 3-0 aggregate to Benfica (1-0 Luisão, 0-2 Simão and Miccoli). Liverpool were the reigning champions.

    Bored watching this City game. Struggle to find any interest in games not involving us or Scotland these days. There have been a couple of decent Champs league games I've seen this season but generally I've found the competition pretty tedious. Atmosphere at this game is non existent as well.

    I like watching Atletico when they put in this type of performance. It’s unbelievable how well drilled Simeone has that team, and has done for a number of years. Hopefully they can pinch a goal here. Can’t stand City. Diddy wee club with * fans.

    They're good at what the do but I find it pretty torturous to watch. Hope they can beat City but it's not my cup of tea.

    I think it’s fascinating to watch mate. The work rate, the shape, the tactical fouls, the time wasting tactics. I like watching wide open games as well like, but I do find Atletico interesting for different reasons.
