Outstanding! Thank you for the illustration.
Just noticed that we have a league game against Man City in between our two R16 games.
Hope we get a relatively “easy” draw in this.

Short travel will be nice.
It might even itself out if The Cheaters have a CL game either side also
How does the R16 work? Is there seeding or teams from the same association kept apart in the draw, or is it a free for all?
Said this before. Bet the PL fixture guys will suddenly start to give us a Monday/Thursday turnaround before important EL games.

Sorry, I really should have just scrolled up there.
Yeah they will I believe.
Just looking at the teams currently confirmed for the play-off places (that we could theoretically draw in the next round):
From the CL:
Galatasaray
Lens
Sporting Braga
Benfica
Feyenoord
Young Boys
These will be joined by one of PSG/Newcastle/AC Milan and Porto/Shakhtar Donetsk
We will get a better idea from the Europa League after Thursday night.

23rd of Feb!!! Lol I was expecting it to be like in a few weeks 
So not used to anything Europa
It’s a really messy structure for the competition. We get a bye for the next round which involves lots of teams that weren’t even in it to start with.
I’ve also just noticed that the final is only 3 days before the FA Cup final. We reached both in 2001 which I think was equally hectic.

Liverpool v. AC Milan in Dublin doesn’t quite have the same ring to it…
A little less stabby than Istanbul though, and damn near a home game.

As long as one of the names is Liverpool, I don’t care.
