What an interesting draw that was! Manchester City and Bayern were two of the favourites for the competition, drawn together, looking at facing Real Madrid or Chelsea to play a final. Great opportunity for runaway Serie A leaders Napoli to make their first Champions League final.

That’s all from me, goodbye!
