The draw for the Champions League knock-out stages took place on the 17th of December 2010. The English teams  Sam Young Jersey as usual, will be experiencing emotions on every end of the emotional spectrum. Here is an overview ofthe teams chosen to face the English teams in the last 16 (before the draw).Arsenal vs. BarcelonaThe North London club meet the La Liga leaders. Arsenal fans will naturally be unhappy about having to face Peps Dream Team, toutedasbeing one of the best club sides of all time. Pundits from The Guardian said that their recent 5-0 rout of Real Madrid was the best 90 minutes of football in recent times. Post- draw interview elucidated that Wenger was not afraid of Barcelona, and placed an emphasis on difficult but po sible.Prediction: I think Barcelona can go away with this one. A 3-1 win at the Camp Nou, with Arsenal taking the lead and not being able to finish the game off, and a narrow 1-0 win at the Emirates. This would put them through 4-1 on aggregate. The reason I do not opt for an Arsenal rout at Home or at the Camp Nou would  Alec Ingold Jersey be the return of Thomas Vermaelen, ostensibly Arsenals best defender since Sol Campbells drop in form and departure from the North London Club. Vermaelen could partner an improving Sebastien Squillacci in the heart of the defence.Danger men: The Barcelona danger men are universally known: Talented playmakers Xavi and Iniesta creating for Me si,David Villa and the always-improving Pedro. Arsenal will have to prevent them from playing their game and utilise the creativity of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas to let their expert frontmen, Robin Van Persie and Marouane Chamakh get their goals.Tottenham Hotspur vs. A.C MilanThis match Tim Brown Jersey  has been billed as Experience vs. Inexperience.Certainly the seven-time winners have looked good in the tournament so far, finishing second below the mighty Real Madrid. Tottenham Hotspur have dazzled in their first ever showing at the Champions League, finishing top over European giants Inter Milan, FC Twente and FC Werder Bremen. Both mangers appear to be satisfied by the draw, Harry Redknapp insinuating that A.C Milan is a Decaying Giant. His Italian counterpart, Ma similliano Allegri, has voiced the thoughts of many Milan fans by implying that he considers Spurs as minnows.Prediction: I  Daniel Carlson Jersey anticipate Spurs winning this one. The scoreline? 2-0 at home and 0-1 away. would put them though at 2-1 in aggregate. The home game herewouldbe key for Spurs. That is where they have a real chance of taking it out Milans hands.Dangermen: Gareth Bale will be expected to dominate Tottenhams Champions Leaague effort. He will be a sisted by Croatian play-maker Luka Modric and Rafael Van der Vaart. Attackers Defoe and Crouch are Tottenhams primary goal-getters. On Milans side Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alexandre Pato, both influential forwards will look  Marquel Lee Jersey to score for Allegris side.
