Much as I dislike the way football finances play out these days, I always want to see British clubs do well in European competition. Great to see them all doing well.

I hope Liverpool draw City, and Man United get an easier time before facing the winner of that game. Would mean a great QF and a derby in the semis either way if United win.
Was reading a Man United forum post and they suggested that if they get Ajax they should easily roll them over. Hmmmmm any team that beats Real Madrid 4-1 at the Bernabau should not be taken lightly. Hope the plastic fooks get Barcelona and get laughed out the CL

Also more would've been used were it not for injuries. Alli, Trippier, Stones, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Lingard would've all featured.

Which as much as the press etc. like to slag off English clubs for a lack of English players, the above is pretty standard.

The other quarter finalists had as follows
Barca - 4 Spanish players featured in the 2nd leg
Juventus - 5 Italian
Ajax - 6 Dutch
Porto - 3 Portuguese
Cheers I never think to look up the opposition stats like that

That Barca figure is interesting as during their "peak Pep" time it would have been much higher, reflecting the decline in Spanish football in recent years. Indeed they would have had at least 5 Catalan players in the team!
City and Liverpool will both be pretty happy. Not only have they both got decent ties, but it also means the other side has an interest for longer thus diverting their attention away from just the premier league.

Although id take City beating them in the final and winning the Prem.

saying that I think they will be happy that Munich are out. they had a banner at the game v Liverpool stating "Fuck VAR. Fuck UEFA"
Liverpool v Porto
Spurs v Man City
Barca v Man Utd
Bad draw for Man Utd
Spurs/City vs Ajax/Juve
United/Barça vs Liverpool/Porto
Can't see Man U's defence coping with Barca's attack
City will expect to beat Spurs, but the pressure is all on them and Pep
Man City v Juventus
Barcelona v Liverpool
or
Pep v Barca?
