Champions League - Outright

[tonythepaint]

The draw has been made today for the last 16 games.

I'm not a big football follower but I would be interested if anyone has got a idea who might win.

Would it be a good idea to have a team in both halves of the draw.

Been listening on Talksport and they seem to like Barcelona's way through to the final.

Barcelona look plenty short enough to me, regardless of the draw. Of the favourites I don't think you can look past Real Madrid - if they were a horse you'd be talking about course and distance and they have that in spades in this competition. For them to be bigger than Barca on the exchanges looks the wrong way around to me and so I've had a punt at 5.7 and in the same half I'd say Arsenal are a decent price at 7.47 as a bigger price alternative.  As for the other half, I'm not in love with any teams there. If forced I'd go for Barcelona or Bayern.
