Arsenal
Could face: Bayern Munich, Benfica, PSV Eindhoven, Rangers, Real Madrid or Werder Bremen
The Gunners eased through the group stages of the Champions League but could still face some big names in the second round.
Real Madrid are potential opponents and there is the prospect of a repeat against Bayern Munich, who knocked out the Londoners at this stage 12 months ago.
Chelsea
Could face: AC Milan, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Lyon or Villarreal.
The Blues were runners-up to Liverpool in the group stages of the Champions League, and could face any of the other group winners, bar Arsenal, in the last 16.
This includes Italian giants Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, as well as Spanish heavyweights Barcelona, who they met in an acrimonious two-legged tie in the last 16 last season.
Liverpool
Could face: Ajax, Bayern Munich, Benfica, PSV Eindhoven, Rangers, Real Madrid or Werder Bremen
Teams from the same national association cannot be drawn together in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Despite Liverpool having no such protection because of the special circumstances of their entry into the competition, they cannot face Chelsea, who were in the same group, or fellow group-winners Arsenal. -
Based on the above, Chelsea seems to be facing the tougher opponents.
BUT.... there is NO easy opponents in Champions League. -
Actual Draw:
Chelsea v Barcelona
Real Madrid v Arsenal
Werder Bremen v Juventus
Bayern Munich v AC Milan
PSV Eindhoven v Lyon
Ajax Amsterdam v Inter Milan
Benfica v Liverpool
Rangers v Villarreal
Yes! Knock out Benfica then get Simao Sabrosa!
Chelsea Vs Barca!!! Woohoo. Ronaldinho to take revenge. Chelsea to be knocked out! -
woo i wanna see 3 eng team at the semis... den pools to proceed wif the other 2 eng team to drop
-

chelsea really super lucky sia. -
Lyon might proceed this round... but cant say oso wat... PSV is a strong team tooOriginally posted by The man who was death:Lyon is the dark horse, last two seasons dark horse wins UCL -
CHELSEA v Barcelona -- This should be the most exciting match.
Real Madrid v ARSENAL -- This would be fun too.
Werder Bremen v Juventus -- Juventus can plan for the next stage.
Bayern Munich v AC Milan -- a 40-60? AC should be able to proceed.
PSV Eindhoven v Lyon -- This looks like the match between dark horses.
Ajax v Inter Milan -- Inter seems to be improving.
Benfica v LIVERPOOL -- This have to be careful. Benfica beat Man U leh
RANGERS v Villarreal -- har? -
actually the fav are chelsea and barca. now that they mean in early stage rather than the final, this is getting interesting.
i hope Arsenal can overcome critics by beating RM. must show them colour that players' power is not helping RM star players getting anywhere. -
CHELSEA v Barcelona
-- Chelsea is a stronger team this year. Should be able to beat Barcelona.
Real Madrid v ARSENAL
-- RM is full of old stars, Arsenal should qualify.
Werder Bremen v Juventus
-- Werder Bremen to qualify.
Bayern Munich v AC Milan
-- Bayern Munich to qualify.
PSV Eindhoven v Lyon
-- Lyon to qualify.
Ajax v Inter Milan
-- Inter Milan to make it.
Benfica v LIVERPOOL
-- If Liverpool can get their winger and center-back in Jan, Liverpool to win it.
RANGERS v Villarreal
-- Villarreal
The final is in Paris.
My guess is:
Inter Milan vs Lyon or Inter Milan vs Liverpool -
Good luck to Chelsea.
Hope Barca thrash them like mad. -

Nelstar also not bad ...... he also got a few prediction right .
Hahaha.... Arsenal damn lucky , to pair with Real Madrid is lucky , Real Madrid not at their best form nowadays . To add salt into wounds , Real Madrid currently no manager , so it's difficult to play Arsenal without a good tactician .
Hahaha.... Chelsea without Makelele and Essien and now what ? Facing Barcelona ? Good luck to them .
I have to say current Barcelona is the team most team would hate to face . Chelsea is the team that is best to face them , let them kill each other and let Liverpool enjoy the fruits later .
The UCL would be so much easier without one of Chelsea or Barcelona .
I'll take Barcelona again this time . I lost when I bet on Barcelona to beat Chelsea last season .
Overall I'm happy at the draw .
The draw was quite even stevens this time , most match is half fight . -
The first leg has been provisionally pencilled in for Tuesday February 21, 2006, at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon .
Return at Anfield two weeks later on Wednesday March 8.
Poolman says : " Benfica are in real trouble , just ask Chelsea how we played against them for the first leg @ Stamford Bridge last season ! "
The answer : " We defend with all our lives , and kept a clean sheet , and whack Chelsea at Anfield ! Benfica confrontation will be no difference ! " -
i got a freaking 4 out of 8 correct for the draws.
OMFG.
Chelsea v Barcelona
Bayern Munich v AC Milan
Benfica v Liverpool
Rangers v Villarreal
Wow the big 4 clashed first! -
I got 3 out of 8 right !!!
Arsenal vs Real
Chelsea vs Barca
Ajax vs Inter
