FC Barcelona has been drawn against Bayer Leverkusen for the first knock out round of this season Champions League season. Barca fans could be very pleased having avoided a trip to east or to the other tough opponents. The first leg matches will be played on th 14th, 15th, 21st and 22nd of February. Real Madrid meanwhile will be visiting Russia for the first leg after getting CSKA Moskva as their opponents. The pick of the draw was the double Anglo-Italian clash with Milan drawing Arsenal and Chelsea drawing Napoli. Our opponent Bayer Leverkusen is nowhere near the heights they saw in the 2001-02 season when they reached the final. But finishing runners-up last season ahead of Beyern Munich is no small achievement. I would say it's a good omen drawing a German opponent. Last season we played the first leg of Round of 16 in England(where the finals were held) against Arsenal, this season the final is held in Germany.
