Champions League, round of 16 draw (photo Ansa)
NYON – Juventus, Napoli and Atalanta have known the name of their opponents in the Champions League round of 16. Juve, who was seeded, caught a rather comfortable opponent because Lyon, who was already the weakest team in the urn, has just lost its star Memphis Depay to a serious injury to the crusader. Not even Atalanta went bad. The Nerazzurri, at their first participation in the maximum European club competition, caught an affordable opponent while not enjoying the seeded status. The Bergamo team will have to deal with Valencia. The first leg will be played in San Siro while the return leg in Spain.
The most unfortunate draw was that of Napoli. Rino Gattuso will start his Champions League against one of the worst opponents he could draw. Napoli will have to seek the "Martian" feat against Barcelona of the "Martians" Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann. Moreover, not being seeded, Napoli will have to play the first match at home and will have to go hunting for qualification in Spain in the return match.
