The Champions League round of 16 draw for the 2021/22 campaign has been concluded.

While there has already been plenty of drama in Europe's premier competition this season, football fans are acutely aware that the knockout stages are where the tournament really cranks into gear.

With half of the qualified teams either jettisoned from continental football or sent crashing down to the Europa League, only the top contenders are left to slug it out for a chance to lift 'Big Ears' in May.

Champions League draw

The round of 16 draw is always a particularly fascinating part of the Champions League format because we haven't quite reached the stage where the fixtures are chosen completely at random.

Clubs from the same nation still can't face each other and group winners are pitted up against those who finished second in the idea that the very best sides won't be locking horns quite yet.

So, how did the draw line up before its conclusion on Monday morning? Well, it's fair to say that we were treated to some mouth-watering propositions with European giants wherever you looked.

Meanwhile, the runners up stacked up as: Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Sporting CP, Inter Milan, Benfica, Villarreal, Red Bull Salzburg and Chelsea.

And that tantalising cocktail of continental juggernauts didn't disappoint when it was shaken and stirred into the mix during UEFA's ceremony at their headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Well, the rambling by op is regretted. I didnt see Man U anywhere. Only PSG. Why must we compare Messi and Ronaldo at every go in football? They are individual players with prodigious talents. Let' s give them room please.

Ronaldo is d real goat

Give it to CR7 to come out tops. It is games like this he performs outstandingly and delivers for the team.

Haters can argue with your keyboard.

Meanwhile if you’re a soccer fan and you’re hating on this guy because of his achievements, you’re simply suffering from witchcraft.

The Greatest Goalscorer Of All Times CR7 will come out victoriously..

Remember this day

Man U is finally going home

It was rigged. Under investigation. Atletico Madrid has complained. The United bowl was intentionally missed during the draw for Atletico.


Modified: The draw will happen again!

Sport center go sweet to watch this games

Goat and Goat will lock horns.

Chee

You can’t make this up, mehn! Even if rigged, this rivalry is the stuff of legends, we will never see the likes of it again.. Messi vs Ronaldo… again they meet, brandishing new colors

Eternal rivals! The GOAT from Argentina vs The “goat”from Portugal
