CL Draw: Italy v England As Milan Meet ManU & Inter Tackle Chelsea
Two huge Anglo-Italian battles.
The draw for the first knockout round of the Champions League conjured up some tasty ties, with Milan versus Manchester United and Jose Mourinho's Inter versus Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea the pick of the bunch.
European Champions Barcelona were handed a good draw against German strugglers Stuttgart, while Real Madrid play Lyon and Arsenal meet Porto.
The draw was arranged so that eight group winners would be paired with eight group runners-up, although no team from the same group or country could meet.
The first legs will be played on 16/17 and 23/24 February 2010, with the second legs on 9/10 and 16/17 March. The group winners will play the second leg at home.
