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)
