CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAST 16.

English champions, Chelsea, have had the toughest Last 16 draw, but after the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, a Barcelona victory at the Nou Camp is by no means guaranteed. Tottenham also got a tough draw, but after holding Juventus to a 2-2 draw in Turin(and looking like the more likely team to progress), Spurs have shown that the English are not in this year's Champions League just to make up the numbers. Man City and Liverpool both take virtually unassailable leads into their respective second legs, while Manchester United are on a knife edge as they host Seville in the second leg. This is already marked as a season of English dominance, but it could get even better(or worse!)if they can push two or three of these five teams into the semi-final. That will bring back memories of about a decade ago, when English teams had a stranglehold on the CL for about five seasons. Should that happen, it could well be the trigger that Arsenal needs to dismantle the big psychological wall that has prevented them from making progress in Europe.
