Well Arsenal and Milan are out and I doubt Celtic can cause another upset, but the rest are all pretty close matches I feel. Most exiting match is definitely going to be Man Utd vs Real Madrid, although it wouldn't surprise me at all at the moment for Ronaldo or Mourinho to just piss about.

So if many of you have followed the champions league since 2004 onwards you will have noticed that Chelsea vs Liverpool happend EVERY year (4seasons out of 5). We met eachother in the Quarter Finals/Semi Finals, wonder what the odds are of Chelsea vs Liverpool in the round of 16 of the Europa, providing both teams win the Round of 32?

Open draw for Round of 16!

German teams got decent draws for the CL (I consider all three match-ups winnable), but EL doesn't look too good. Bayer-Benfica will be close, Stuttgart should beat Genk, but Anzhi/Lazio are bad news for Hannover/Gladbach, respectively.

Most promising EL fixtures are probably Liverpool - Zenit and Tottenham - Lyon.

i think mod should rename the thread to something like "Eurocups Thread 2012-2013" since we started to discuss EL here.

It's unbelievable that the test draw was exactly the same as the actual draw.
The chances of that happening I think is less than 1%.

~0.18% according to a german source - that's similar to getting AA in Texas Hold'em (~0.19%)

in other words, it happens

except that CL draws happen once a year and millions of hold'em hands are dealt every day. So quite the coincidence for sure

Chances of AA are 4/52 * 3/51 = 1/221 = 0.45%

They did quite a lot of test runs (at least that's their official statement), so the probability that there is a test run producing the same pairings isn't exactly one in 5463 (which should be the correct number of possible pairings). The true "coincidence" would be the UEFA guy screenshoting THAT VERY test run, which is the part which seems a bit fishy to me (I personally find it believable that they did some test runs).

oops you are right
that's what I wanted to type into google calculator, but instead I typed 1/13*13/51, according to my browser history
shame on me, it fit so well I wanted to believe it

0.183% assumes 10 test runs all taped, I don't know what happened exactly though.

It's easy to get the number of possible draw results (5463) with the help of a small program, but now that I think about it I don't know if the assumption of uniform distribution is valid.
