  102. Champions League draw reaction

    Juventus v Borussia Dortmund

    Pavel Nedved, Juventus director, speaking to UEFA.com:"We have to be very careful because Dortmund have young, talented players. It could have been worse because there was still Bayern and Madrid when Borussia's name came out. It will be a very even tie.

    "There are a few teams who are almost impossible to compete with, so we are happy to have a side against whom we have a chance. I'm a big fan of Klopp and I'm curious to see our level in Europe. The games against Dortmund will give us a clear indication of that."

    #bbcsportsday

    Sadozaie: Atletico vs Arsenal, City vs Porto and Chelsea vs Juventus I am handing out a very kind draw to English clubs! Seriously

    We'll come back later and check your workings.

  129. Champions League draw

    Former Germany striker, and the Berlin final ambassador, Karl-Heinz Riedle is now welcomed to the stage. He described Berlin as a "very good choice for the final". He would say that...

  130. Champions League draw

    Gianni Infantino, UEFA General Secretary, opens proceedings with a welcome speech:

    He said: "It is impossible to forecast which teams will meet in the final at Berlin's Olympiastadion on 6 June 2015, but we can definitely expect more of the same - a wealth of fantastic matches, memorable goals and brilliant individual displays as the season unfolds."

  131. Champions League

    Spanish sides could face English opponent

    There is a good chance this draw could ensure Arsenal or Manchester City face a last-16 fixture with Spanish opposition.

    The three remaining Spanish clubs all won their groups and will therefore meet a runner-up from a different group. The Gunners and City can potentially meet all three so there is a strong chance one of them will do so.

    Barcelona: Juventus, Basel, Leverkusen, Arsenal, Manchester City, Schalke, Shakhtar.

    Real Madrid: Juventus, Leverkusen, Arsenal, Manchester City, Paris, Schalke, Shakhtar.

    Atletico Madrid: Basel, Leverkusen, Arsenal, Manchester City, Paris, Schalke, Shakhtar.

  132. Champions League draw

    Gianni Infantino

    The draw is getting under way in Nyon. Uefa's main draw-master-in-chief Gianni Infantino has made an appearance on stage.

    Could be a while until the teams are drawn out of the pots but here we go.

  133. Champions League

    Who can the British sides draw?

    Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea players

    Chelsea: Juventus, Basel, Bayer Leverkusen, Paris St-Germain, Shakhtar Donetsk.

    Arsenal: Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Monaco, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Porto.

    Manchester City: Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Monaco, Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, Porto.

  134. Champions League draw

    A tough away trip

    Diego Godin

    Last season's beaten finalists, Atletico Madrid, have gone a little bit under the radar in this season's Champions League. But the La Liga champions have already shown they remain a force to be reckoned with. Another team to avoid for the British teams.

    Nyon pops up again

    Firstly, do you think Uefa headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, looks like the lair of a Bond villain or the elaborate home of a wealthy film star?

    Uefa headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland

    Either way, Nyon is seemingly one of those places you never hear a pip about until it is Champions League draw time.

    It must be a peaceful town as only around 20,000 people live there and it sits on the banks of Lake Geneva. I wonder what locals think when the Champions League bandwagon rolls into town.

    It is home to one of the best rugby clubs in Switzerland - Nyon Rugby Club - who are twinned with...wait for it...Ealing Rugby Club in West London. Anyone else fancy a lazy weekend break there?

  137. Transfer embargo for three Championship clubs

    Football

    Blackburn Rovers, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest have failed to meet Financial Fair Play rules for the division and will face a transfer embargo from 1 January for the remainder of the season, the Football League has confirmed.

    During the 2013-14 season, all three clubs exceeded a maximum permitted deviation of £8m.

    That consists of a maximum adjusted operating loss of £3m plus a further maximum of £5m of shareholder investment.

  138. More on Clarke surgery

    Cricket

    More on the news that Australia captain Michael Clarke will face an operation on his injured right hamstring.

    Australian Team Doctor Peter Brukner said: "Whilst surgery is not always required with hamstring injuries, Michael has substantial damage to a key part of the hamstring tendon and it was felt the best course of action was to surgically repair the damaged area.

    "His recovery and the timing of his return to play will be dependent on the surgeon's advice and how well he recovers in the coming weeks."

  139. Post update

    Arsenal on Twitter: The #ChampionsLeague draw takes place from 11am (UK time). This is what you need to know..

  140. Clarke to undergo surgery

    Cricket

    Australia captain Michael Clarke

    Injured Australia captain Michael Clarke is to undergo surgery on Tuesday on his damaged right hamstring, Cricket Australia has confirmed.

    The 33-year-old had to leave the field early during his side's 48-run first Test match victory over India in Adelaide on Saturday.

    He told a news conference afterwards there was a chance he may never play again.

    Sam Feetham: Winners: Real Madrid, Top scorer: Messi, Dark Horse: Man City

  142. Champions League draw

    A simple guide to the draw

    Sometimes these draws can sound confusing but this one is relatively straight forward.

    • Seeded teams - group winners - go in one pot, runners-up in the other. A team cannot play sides from their own pot.

    Group winners: Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, AS Monaco, Borussia Dortmund, FC Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Chelsea, FC Porto.

    Group runners-up: Juventus, FC Basel, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Schalke, Shakhtar Donetsk.

    However:

    • Teams cannot be drawn against an opponent from their own country.
    • A side cannot face an opponent they have already played in this year's competition in the round of 16 draw.

    So for example Bayern Munich as group winners cannot face Manchester City who they have already played, or Schalke and Leverkusen as they come from the same country. They therefore have five possible opponents. Got it? Good.
