TThe draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League threw up some interesting games. Arguably the highlight of the round sees Jose Mourinho return to Chelsea when his Inter Milan take on the club now coached by former AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti.
There is also another Italy v England reunion As Manchester United will play AC Milan, who should have a certain David Beckham in its line-up. I believe that this will be Beckham’s first visit to Old Trafford as a visiting player.
Champions League champions FC Barcelona will take on Stuttgart in the first knockout round. Like all the group winners, Barcelona will be at home in the second leg of their tie as they continue their bid to become the first team in the UEFA Champions League era to lift the trophy two years running.
Real Madrid, aiming to play in the 22 May final at their own Santiago Bernabéu home, have been drawn with Karim Benzema’s former club Lyon.
For the first time this year, the fixtures in the last 16 will be held over four weeks. Two first legs each will be played on 16 and 17 February, and the remaining opening encounters split between 23 and 24 February.
