Some might complain when it comes to the semi's and/or final, but this is a magnificent draw. Finals are usually boring anyway, regardless of the teams, so let's have some good football. For the first time in I don't know how long, I think both Real and Barca should be considered underdogs and I think both will have to score in the away leg to give themselves any real chance in the second leg. A semis without either would surely mean sweeping changes at both clubs. Changes which, I admit, may well happen anyway.
Take away the prestige of the names and Borussia Dortmund v Monaco should be the tie of the round. Monaco just score for fun and Dortmund can hurt you in many ways. That said, I think Dortmund will prove too much for the Monaco defence if their tie with City is anything to go by.
Surely this is the end of the road for Leicester? Atleti get the tie the other seven teams wanted and I just can't see them getting beaten by Leicester. Not because they're the better team (though they are) or because they have better players (which they do) but because Leicester can only really beat them one way. The way they won the League last year, and Atleti are better at doing that than they are, too. If all else fails, Atleti will win with a freekick or something outrageous from Griezmann.
United shouldn't have much problem with Anderlecht, but with this season's United, I have no confidence in saying that. I wouldn't even be surprised if we didn't win tomorrow.
