Some very interesting games ahead, in particular United v Madrid and Ronaldos first return to Old Trafford since his departure. Arsenal v Munich will also be a great encounter. Thoughts?

Galatasaray v Schalke 04

Celtic v Juventus

Arsenal v Bayern Munich

Shakhtar Donetsk v Borussia Dortmund

AC Milan v Barcelona

Real Madrid v Man Utd

Valencia v PSG

FC Porto v Malaga

First legs to be played 12/13/19/20th February, 2013

Second legs to be played 5/6/12/13th March, 2013

My main though is that this wont do our coefficient any good, thank god Chelsea won it last year so we should keep the four spots at the moment.

I find it hard to support United so will support Arsenal, and after both English teams inevitably get knocked out this round will be rooting for Dortmund.

Glad Manchester United got the toughest game possible. I think every runner-up wanted Malaga as they've overachieved so far. Can't see Arsenal getting past Bayern Munich but Lukas Podolski and Per Mertasacker know them well so the Gooners will play the right tactics.

Looking forward to Ronaldo tearing apart Manchester United.

Another lively night in Gelsenkirchen.

Could've been tougher IMO they could've been away 2nd leg!

I'm not convinced Man Utd will go out, but I do think Arsenal will lose a tight tie.

Some of those would be fit for a final, never mind Round of 16 games.

Just shows the abundance of talent we are fortunate to have in Europe, the Champions League is glorious, thrill a minute stuff, roll on February.

Not possible, as they won group were guaranteed second leg at home.

5 really good ties... 1 good one and 2 poorer ones. But for the round of 16 that is pretty decent!

Really looking forward to the Celtic v juve at park head... Madrid v Utd and arsenal v bayern!

Expect schalke, juve, bayern, Dortmund, Barca, PSG, Porto to progress. Man Utd can if they get it right away from home and don't go to old Trafford 2 behind. Really they need a draw or better IMO to progress though!
