You get some deluded Liverpool fans, I see this sort of thing all the time on the internet.

BBC comment said:
Still the greatest. What other English club has won it 5 times? We were handed the toughest possible draw against the champions, Basle (who will reach the final mark my words) and plucky Ludogorets, who were always going to cause problems. Now we can concentrate all our energies on winning title no. 19.

From the BBC comments, I had a good laugh.

Ah Liverpool fans. Aways worth a laugh. (Especially after all the stick us Utd fans took after last season from them)

Meh well done to Man City I suppose for qualifying for the last 16 after they beat Roma and Bayern beat CSKA, City finish second on 8 points and they won 0-2, first goal from Nasri was a peach..

It took them a couple of years but now let's see who they get drawn against and see if they can actually do something this year in the knockouts.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Last 16 draw takes place at 10am UK time on Monday...

 

[Touring Mars]

Arsenal (ENG) v

Monaco (FRA)

Basel (SUI) v

[Liquid]

I hope Barcelona execute a scorched earth policy on Manchester City.

Juventus vs Dortmund should be interesting, given Dortmund's diabolical Bundesliga form; 16th out of 18, only above the drop zone on goal difference.

 

[Peasantslayer]

After years of trying City finally get out of the group stage and they are immediately met by Barcelona.

They actually met in the Round of 16 last year as well... Barcelona won.

 

[Touring Mars]

And the Europa League last 32 draw...

Young Boys v Everton
Torino v Athletic Bilbao
Sevilla v Borussia Monchengladbach
Wolfsburg v Sporting Lisbon
Ajax v Legia Warsaw
Aalborg v Club Brugge
Anderlecht v Dynamo Moscow
Dnipro v Olympiakos
Trabzonspor v Napoli
Guingamp v Dynamo Kiev

Glamour tie for Celtic at least... also, as the BBC report:

Everton have never faced Young Boys before.

[Phoenix]

Really happy with Real getting Schalke 04.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Well thats us out then.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Chelsea played PSG in the Quarters last year and went through on away goals, but they did that without Fabregas, Costa and the cup-tied Matic....

Good draw for Arsenal....

[MUSC4EVER]

Last 16 starts tonight with PSG v Chelsea and Shakhtar v Bayern, tomorrow its Basel v Porto and Real Madrid v Schalke, the other first legs take place next week...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So it finished PSG 1-1 Chelsea, Ivanovic and Cavani with the goals, great result for Chelsea

In the other game it finished 0-0 between Shakhtar and Bayern, Alonso got sent off for two yellows...

 

[Dennisch]

Bunch of Chelsea 'fans' showing off their best side in the Paris subway:

 

[Liquid]

I thought Britain was the tolerant one? Real smooth thing to do in France of all places.

I'm so glad Chelsea have never signed Willian, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Claude Makelele, Marcel Desailly, Geremi, Nicholas Anelka, Didier Drogba, Michael Essien or Ashley Cole.

 

[Brend]

Bunch of Chelsea 'fans' showing off their best side in the Paris subway:

Bloody hell.

 

[Dennisch]

Bloody hell.

If they are identified they all will receive a lifelong ban from Chelsea. I really hope they do.

How the hell can you be a racist and support a team that is pretty much as multicultural as it can be?

Morons.

 

[Liquid]

And to add to the list, let's not forget Ruud Gullit.

Don't you mean Roooood Gooollit?

 

[Ross]

So did those fans not celebrate when Drogba scored the winning penalty in the UCL final a few years ago?

 

[MoLiEG]

Madrid is up 1-0. I hope this doesn't end in a bloodbath like last time.

 

[Phoenix]

Madrid is up 1-0. I hope this doesn't end in a bloodbath like last time.

I hope it does.

But it probably won't.

 

[MoLiEG]

Marcelo for the 2-0.

BTW, you can all make a wish. Chicharito is in

 

[Ross]

What a goal that was from Marcelo! Just seen it as I missed it the first time round.

 

[Phoenix]

Happy with 2-0, but again with a bit more precision could have scored more.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Unreal goal by Marcelo, good to see Ronaldo back firing as well after his little goal drought, it finished Basel 1-1 Porto in the other game

Back to the Chelsea fans last night, its not the first time they have had brushes with racism, when they played Man United in the league a couple of years ago one fan was pictured making monkey gestures towards Danny Welbeck, the fans last night are most probably in the minority but that doesn't make it OK of course, the only punishment Chelsea can and should give them is permanent bans, it will be interesting to see if UEFA does anything about it to

...I wonder how Drogba, Remy, Mikel, Zouma, Ake, Cuadrado, Loftus-Cheek and the other mixed race players at the club feel about what happened....

 

[Kamuifanboy]

Madrid is up 1-0. I hope this doesn't end in a bloodbath like last time.

Schalke 0-4? Schalke 0-5? Haha, Twitter was so funny last year during that game.
