My favorite European team, AC Milan, again did not reach the knockout phase. So who am I rooting for? Chelsea FC. I don't know much about the Greek team (Panathinaikos FC), but they might be fun to support if for some reason Chelsea stumbles. I know that H must be behind his AS Roma club.
Lineup finalised for knockout draw (from: uefa.com)
The lineup for the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League has been finalised after Manchester United FC, FC Bayern München, FC Porto and Juventus all clinched their places in the first knockout round as winners of their respective sections.
