USG, Frankfurt, Betis, Olympiakos (purely for the tough away trip) and Ajax would all cause us problems. Legia too, although Im not sure they're as good as their results suggest - it's just a bastard of an away game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Ajax play a couple of times against AEK this season and they're not really up to much either - there are some good youngsters there but we'd batter them all the same.

The 16 teams will become 8 and will be added to the 8 (including Villa) who skip the next round because they won the group. Calling it the last 32 is confusing. It’s two rounds of 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
