The Champions League draw is done and it’s very, very exciting.
Liverpool will face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals in April – and if we get through that one – it’s either Chelsea or FC Porto in the semis.
So Liverpool could potentially face Chelsea in a CL semi before a final in Istanbul – you couldn’t write it…
In the other half of the draw, Bayern have PSG and Manchester have Borussia Dortmund.
We could be looking at three English clubs in the semi-finals again.
Here’s how Liverpool fans on Twitter reacted to the balls coming out of the pot:
Salah revenge? Chelsea semi then Istanbul? Bring it on…
I'm really, really excited and feel like I haven't been excited about football in ages!

A tough draw for Liverpool but could have been much worse. Liverpool avoid Bayern Munich and Man City until the final. Would have taken that before the draw. Real Madrid will be difficult of course but full belief Liverpool can progress.

Good draw for lfc. Both teams not in good form so should be a even game

This Liverpool/ Istanbul sequel is becoming inevitable. Chelsea in semis too, just like 2005. Written in the stars….
