Champions League Draw: Bayern Munich Meet Inter Again, Barcelona Await Arsenal Test

Last year's finalists Inter and Bayern Munich will meet in the round of 16 this season, while 2006 finalists Barcelona and Arsenal face a rematch of their game as well.

 

Friday's draw for the first knockout round of the Champions League resulted in a number of interesting ties.

Last year's finalists Inter and Bayern Munich will meet in the round of 16 this year. Diego Milito fired the Nerazzurri to Champions League glory last year and the Germans will be gunning for revenge this time around.

Another interesting tie will be the match between Arsenal and Barcelona. The Spaniards proved to be too strong for the Gunners last year and also beat Arsenal in the 2006 CL final.

Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid are one of the favourites to lift the trophy this year, but they'll have to deal with Olympique Lyonnais if they are to go far. The French side beat Madrid in the round of 16 last term and will be eager to cause another upset this term.

First leg home	First leg away
Roma	Shakhtar Donetsk
Valencia	Schalke 04
Inter Milan	Bayern Munich
O. Lyon	Real Madrid
Marseille	Man Utd.
