The Champions League draw was always going to be a bit of a let-down, since we knew we were going to Spain whatever happened. Here's what happened:
Manchester Utd v Bayern Munich
Galatasaray v Real Madrid
Leeds Utd v Deportivo
Arsenal v Valencia
The draw for the semi-finals was done at the same time - so Arsenal know that they play either Leeds or Depor, if they get by Valencia.
On the face of it, we got the best draw available - Valencia are third in La Liga at the moment, with Real top and Depor second. There's also talk that manager Hector Cuper could be on his way out, sick at the endless abuse he's getting from the fans.
