Somewhat bizarrely, apparently Man Utd have never faced PSG in a competitive fixture. They could get torn a new one when they do...

Schalke v Man City
Atletico Madrid v Juventus
Man Utd v PSG
Tottenham v Borussia Dortmund
Lyon v Barcelona
Roma v Porto
Ajax v Real Madrid
Liverpool v Bayern Munich

The latter stages of the CL is evidence to support the argument for a breakaway Hyper-Globo-League. It's genuinely brilliant once the dreck has been consigned to the Europa (or out altogether).

Let 20 teams like the above go off and play with each other all year (and hold the games all over the world if you like - I don't care) and leave normal football to the rest of us please. I'd happily watch both 'forms' of the game.

Manchester United haven't lost against French opposition in a European competition since 2005.

Man Utd will get dismantled in front of their home fans whilst a blank-faced Moanrinho watches on wishing they'd just sack him, write him a massive cheque, and let him crack on with some nice holidays. Ajax will get walloped, Schalke will either get narrowly beaten or utterly tonked - and the atmosphere at Anfield will be something you wish you could bottle and sell.

Wish it was the Albion at home to Juventus, Ronaldo comes on as a Sub, and we all shout "Who?"

Now, I have no idea, but I'm guessing from your emoji that there's an extremely good reason why that may be the case...

I certainly feel that this long standing record might well be coming to an end.

All good teams from the 6 best leagues, plus Ajax. Often there are soft opponents from eastern Europe or elsewhere at this stage.

Great draws for Liverpool, Spurs and City. All great places to go and I expect them all to get past the potato heads to the next round.

Be very interesting if City and Spurs are in Germany at the same time as Dortmund is a good staging point for a game in Gelsenkirchen.

United are going out.

Looks like Manchester City are the only English team with a realistic chance of going through.

Liverpool are surely favourites. Spurs Dortmund should be a good game.

I can't remember a time when the the last 16 draw had no mug teams in it. Normally there's some rubbish from Greece, Turkey or Switzerland.

Certainly PSG have got a decent draw there. Imagine how mental Pogba will go if Jose leaves him on the bench in Paris!
