Great Balls of Fire Part whatever

Quick and dirty on the Champions League draw:

Lyon-APOEL
Napoli-Chelsea
Milan-Arsenal
Basel-Bayern München
Leverkusen-Barcelona
CSKA-Real
Zenit-Benfica
Marseille-Inter
Not one single draw that makes you lose your breath.  Someone might have forgotten to heat up the balls.  But 2xItaly against England sticks out. I think the English are more unhappy than the Italians over that, actually.

Pretty sure Leverkusen are kicking themselves for letting the group win slip.  The three title favourites Bayern, Barca and Real are the only obvious quarter finalists, all other games remain open.

The two French sides that were almost out of the group stage now have decent chances of reaching the quarterfinal.

Now Europa League.
