Great draws for the English sides. Bayern are, by Bayern's standards, a shambles. If Arsenal, turn up they will have too much for Bayern. Albeit
Arsenal's problems will probably be psychological. On paper they were a much better team than Porto but they let Porto's experience and streetwise-ness (is that a word?) dictate the game. Bayern have more experience than Porto and if Arsenal let them, they will hammer them. But if Arsenal can play like they do in the PL they will have far too much for them.
City will hoke Real.
Good draw for Pool, and yeah, definitely the easier side of the draw. WH and Leverkusen were the two sides I wanted to avoid. WH cos we see Pool play them twice a season and Europe is about playing different sides for me, and Leverkusen cos they are a decent outfit. I was gutted to see them score 2 late goals again Carrier-bag.
Nice draw for Villa too. The english clean sweep of Europe is still on.
