The Champions League draw on Monday revealed an intriguing clash in the round of 16, featuring Chelsea against Galatasaray. However, this pairing did not sit well with Emmanuel Eboué, the Ivory Coast international defender for the Turkish club. Expressing his preference, Eboué stated on RMC that he would have been happy to face Paris Saint-Germain instead.
In contrast, Aurélien Chedjou, a former Lille player and now part of Galatasaray, did not share the same sentiment. “Sincerely, I hope not to fall against Paris,” confided the Cameroonian defender in an interview with RMC.
The full draw for the round of 16 is as follows:
- FC Barcelona – Manchester City
- Manchester United – Olympiacos
- Atlético Madrid – Milan AC
- PSG – Bayer Leverkusen
- Chelsea – Galatasaray
- Schalke 04 – Real Madrid
- Zenit Saint-Petersburg – Dortmund
- Bayern Munich – Arsenal
