Juventus
Barcelona
Dynamo Kiev
Ferencvaros
The headline as Pedro Pinto alluded to after this draw was made — Messi vs. Ronaldo. It’s the first time that the Argentinian and Portuguese face off since the latter’s departure from Madrid. That’s a clash that we can all get behind, but just as intriguing is the battle in the dugout between Andrea Pirlo and Ronald Koeman as they try to put an imprint on their new teams. Dynamo Kiev had some great nights against both Barca and Juve in their heyday in the 90’s, but are now several leagues below in football’s increasingly stratified hierarchy. It’s great to see Ferencvaros back in the Champions League, though their best hope is probably getting a home win against Kiev to challenge for a Europa League spot.
