LYON MANCHESTER UNITED
MARSEILLE Spartak Moscow
ANDERLECHT BORDEAUX
Cup at a discount, the UEFA Cup. At least, it seems. This is not exactly what the board tells the knockout stages drawn Friday in Nyon. They propose, in the final six matches of Manchester, posters like Bolton - Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray - Bayer Leverkusen (both former winners) or Glasgow Rangers - Panathinaikos. The only two survivors French clubs, Bordeaux and Marseille, do not say otherwise. Their circulation without being present, is both affordable and prestigious. He refers, in any event, their own European history.
Olympique Marseille will face Russian club Spartak Moscow. This is a reunion, because this meeting was a half-pleased with the final Champions Clubs' Cup in 1991 (2-1, 3-1 to Marseille). One small problem: the OM will to and will do the same in the second round, in case of qualification, where he would meet the winner of the match Zenit St Petersburg - Villarreal. Again, a little perspective and memories that Zenith had released the OM in the eighth finals two seasons ago (0-1, 1-1). A match against Villarreal would mark the return of Robert Pires at the Stade Velodrome, where he was team captain the ephemeral between 1998 and 2000. Spartak Moscow was in group of Toulouse, where he lost Wednesday in a game without challenge (1-2).
The Girondins Bordeaux meet Anderlecht, double champion of Belgium. Five years ago, they were released by the team at the same stage of the competition (0-2, 2-2) (Photo Credits: Feindouno and Aruna, who changed jersey since ...). The Girondins have the advantage of receiving the return. In case of qualification they will face Aberdeen or ... Bayern Munich, against whom they have lost their only final in their history in 1996. It was already in the UEFA Cup (0-2, 1-3). The matches will take place on 13-14 and 21 February.
Lyon - Manchester United (match at Gerland) is one of the most posters followed on 19 and 20 February (one way) and then on 4-5 March, but the two most impact statements will be Arsenal - AC Milan and Liverpool - Inter Milan. The first of these two games, in particular, oppose the current league leaders the most powerful in Europe at the defending champion of the C1. Other shows that Europe is ahead regia: AS Roma - Real Madrid, or the duel between two teams most spectacular yet. FC Barcelona, after removing the chicken Glasgow Rangers, Scotland will return against the big rival, Celtic. The other three eighths drawn: Olympiakos - Chelsea Fenerbahce - FC Sevilla and Schalke 04 - FC Porto.
