- Fans pleased with what’s on paper, a relatively kind Last 16 tie

Liverpool managed to avoid Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus in today’s Champions League Last 16 draw.
Instead of the European behemoths, we got Portuguese outfit Porto, who alongside Basel, was probably the best draw we could have got.
Obviously, any tie will be tricky, but fans are pleased we have a seemingly good chance to progress into the quarterfinals for the first time since the Rafa Benitez era.
Having stormed the group, winning two matches 7-0, Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have proved we can do great things in Europe this term already.
But now it’s knockout football and we already cannot wait until February!
