Auslosung der K.o.-Runde am Freitag

Noch vor Weihnachten erfährt der FC Bayern, gegen welche Mannschaft er im 16tel-Finale des UEFA-Pokals antreten muss. Am Freitagmittag um 13.00 Uhr wird im schweizerischen UEFA-Sitz Nyon die nächste Runde ausgelost (live im FCB-Liveticker). Dabei wird es der FC Bayern mit einem Dritten aus den anderen Gruppen zu tun bekommen und kann das Rückspiel in der Allianz Arena austragen. Ein deutsch-deutsches Duell ist aber auf jeden Fall nicht möglich.

The draw for the knockout round of the UEFA Cup will be made on Friday, at 13.00h, in UEFA's headquearters in Nyon.

Bayern will play one of the third placed teams in the groups.

A good advantage is the second leg at home.

Confirmed third placed teams thus far:

- FC Zürich (Leverkusen thrashed them yesterday 5-0)
- Bolton (from our group, we can't face them, right?)
- Anderlecht
- Galatasaray

Next four teams to be confirmed tonight.

bolton may lose anelka to chelsea/united so will be alot easier to go against.
no worries, we can beat any team.

I don't think we can play bolton again in the next round. and the game in muncih the 2-2 was pretty unlucky we were clearly the etter side but made 2 stupid mistakes.
I'm pretty confident that nurnberg will win tonight and make 3rd place so they also fall out. That leaves

zurich, anderelecht, galatasary,

kopenhagen or aberdeen (from group B),
group C it can be 3 teams Fiorentina, AEK Athen or Mlada Boleslav
and Group D: Din Zagreb, Rennes or Bergen.

All teams we should beat. I'd like to see Fiorentina with Luca coming home but that would be the toughest by far of the bunch...

Podolski · 20-12-2007, 12:44 PM

agree, will definately be toughest. I don't think they will get 3rd place though. it is better and more likely we will meet them later.

Galatasaray, AEK and Anderelecht would be decent opponents. Of course Fiorentina is the strongest opponent we'd meet, but those 3 I mentioned are stronger than Bolton and perhaps Braga too, so we wouldn't have it easy against them.

All the others would get a thrashing like Aris

Bayern’s convincing 6-0 victory over Aris Salonika on Wednesday sealed first place for the Reds in UEFA Cup Group F. All eyes at the Bavarian club now turn to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where the draw for the Round of 32 and the Round of 16 takes place at 1 pm CET on Friday. Munich will be represented by board director Karl Hopfner.

As group winners, Bayern’s Round of 32 opponents will be drawn from the sides finishing third in one of the other groups. The first leg will be away from home, with the decisive return in front of Bayern’s home Allianz Arena crowd. Winning the group had been “a big advantage,“ Ottmar Hitzfeld emphasised.

No intra-German clash

As a result of developments elsewhere on Wednesday, Bayern’s potential opponents include FC Zurich, RSC Anderlecht and Istanbul giants Galatasaray. The names of other potential opponents will become clear after Thursday evening’s final round of UEFA Cup group matches. Bavarian rivals 1. FC Nürnberg could finish third in Group A, but an internal state derby is not a possibility as teams from the same national association cannot meet in the Round of 32.

The 32 hopefuls entered into Friday’s draw comprise the 24 qualifiers from the UEFA Cup group phase, together with the eight third-placed sides eliminated at the same stage of the Champions League. First leg ties in the Round of 32 will be played on 13/14 February, with the returns on 21 February.

Four other teams that secured the third place tonight:

Zenit St.Petersburg, Aberdeen, AEK Athens, Brann

Complete list of third placed teams that could be possible opponents of Bayern:

Zenit St.Petersburg (Rus)
Aberdeen (Sco)
AEK Athens (Gre)
Brann (Nor)
FC Zürich (Sui)
Anderlecht (Bel)
Galatasaray (Tur).

The draw will be broadcasted live by Eurosport.

Galatasaray maybe the hardest of the lot. Espescially in the away game. But i really can't see us having any problems with any of those teams.

it's must win no matter who we get. Great german performance btw. 5 teams in the uefa cup now :P

BlackNess · 21-12-2007, 08:00 AM

i am not going to watch the draw..... Shit

i hope we get a decent team, Why ?

Because with poor teams we always have the bad matches, They are so scared from this Big thing Called Bayern, they defend, 5 CB's and 3 DM's .

**Trim** · 21-12-2007, 11:53 AM

The draw will be made for the Round of 32 and for the Round of 16.

So that means we'll know our possible opponents of the next group, if we pass this one.

**Trim** · 21-12-2007, 12:08 PM

We've been drawn to face Aberdeen FC of Scotland.

**Trim** · 21-12-2007, 12:23 PM

Round of 16 draw:
