The Round of 16 draw for the UEFA Champions League 2013 will take place Thursday today in Nyon, Switzerland.
And today's draws are going to be real fun as someone said that 'When the runners-up pool looks as strong as the winners pool, the UEFA Champions League draw gets fun.'
Some of Europe's biggest historical powers and best up-and coming sides finished second in their UEFA Champions League groups, setting up a fascinating draw on Thursday. No matter who they draw, Arsenal, AC Milan, Shakhtar Donetsk and FC Porto should offer up stiff opposition in the round of 16. Real Madrid, despite their recent struggles, might be favorites in a heavyweight clash against a side like Bayern Munich or Manchester United.
Herein under are the group winners, and who they can play:
Malaga (Arsenal, Shakhtar Donetsk, Celtic, Galatasaray)
Schalke 04 (Porto, AC Milan, Shakhtar Donetsk, Galatasary, Valencia, Celtic, Real Madrid)
Juventus (Porto, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Valencia, Celtic, Galatasaray)
Borussia Dortmund (Porto, Arsenal, AC Milan, Shakhtar Donetsk, Valencia, Celtic, Galatasaray)
Paris Saint-Germain (Arsenal, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Valencia, Celtic, Galatasaray)
FC Barcelona (Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Arsenal, Galatasaray, AC Milan)
Manchester United (Porto, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Valencia, Celtic)
Bayern Munich (Porto, Arsenal, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Celtic, Galatasaray)
There is, surprisingly, no chance of a rematch from last year's Round of 16. AC Milan and Arsenal, who met in a classic tie, both made it through but both sit in the runners-up pool. Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the only other teams who have made the knockout stage for a second consecutive season.
The draws are to take place at 10:30 GMT on Thursday, 20 December at Nyon, Switzerland.
