Thanks: Gave 49, Got 129 | 5 out of 6 British teams into last 16. Fantastic
That's not a bad record. Just a real shame Rangers couldn't make it six

Really praying for a Madrid v Celtic draw next week. I already have my flights booked for the home leg in March. Celtic would be a great tie as I should be able to get tickets for Parkhead as well

Also think Rangers will do well in it.

There ares still teams like:
Bayern Munich
Bayer Leverkusen
Villareal
Atletico Madrid
Fiorentina
And some of them could still finish second in their group which means we could get them in the last 32.
But I am going to be positive |

But I am going to be positive  | Plus other CL drop-outs:
Werder Bremen
PSV
Benfica
Sporting Lisbon.
Some fairly big teams still left in it, although many are just big 'names' in this era, rather than good teams, so many are nothing to be worried about.

Bring on the last 16
I think realistically we should be aiming for at least the quarter finals.

Don't forget about Spurs either......looks like they could finish 2nd in the group. There hasn't been a Battle of Britain this year yet but I have a feeling Spurs v Rangers will pop out of the hat.

I can see Celtic getting Real or one of the other big guns - Barca, Inter.
Liverpool won't get Sevilla in a million years - it'll be Milan, Real or Barca.
Obviously Arsenal will get a let-off with Porto, Utd & Chelsea pick up the other 2 easy draws with Fenebahce & Olympiakos |
