Meet an old friend, Leverkusen.

Brighton were able to handle Marseille, West Ham are of similar strength. Currently 7th in France vs 7th in England. Liverpool seem to have a knack for smashing Portuguese teams, and I wasn't impressed with Benfica against Rangers and you saw the absolute mauling Liverpool gave Rangers last season.

West Ham v Marseille

I want:

Liverpool v Leverkusen

My dream final Unfortunately Klopp's Liverpool is also a magnet for Germans, just like City. He has played against Bayern, Dortmund, Leipzig, Hoffenheim and Augsburg.

I just want to avoid them for now, that's the priority.

Ranking:

If they both reached the semis, I might want the match there, for the Anfield factor. Definitely if West Ham also make the semis.

One Italian team safe in the semi final, but not more.

Leverkusen against West Ham, okay. There were two better draws, but more worse ones. And then it would be Milan or Roma if the eliminate West Ham. So my dream final possible.

[Lorric]

Liverpool got a path to the final laid out for them. Three weakest teams imo in their bracket. West Ham... Good luck. You'll need it. Hopefully Leverkusen rest more players. At least West Ham got the second leg at home both times, they've done some great work with that in these past years, some big victories.

Good draw overall.

If Bayern and Leverkusen eliminates Arsenal and Westham even the Top 2 is possible. Difficult though.

Lots of England vs Germany this season. We've already had plenty with West Ham getting the better of Freiburg twice, City over Leipzig and Bayern and Dortmund over United and Newcastle.

West Ham will have played German opposition more than the entire rest of Europe with this Leverkusen tie!

You are pretty close to the first bookmaker odds, except for the Leverkusen tie. Bookies say 1.37 Leverkusen, 2.95 West Ham.

The other ties:

Milan 1.80
Roma 1.95

Liverpool 1.22
Atalanta 4.00

Benfica 1.95
OM 1.80

Lucky draw for Benfica and Marseille. Liverpool won't complain either. Milan vs Roma secures the top 2 spot for Italy. and Leverkusen have the chance to keep the German dream alive.

Milan - Roma 55/45
Leverkusen - West Ham 60/40
Benfica - Marseille 55/45
Liverpool - Atalanta 75/25
