Cup draw brimming with mouthwatering ties

El City — No! was the headline in El Mundo Deportivo before the Champions League draw yesterday.

Not the pairing Barcelona were hoping for, nor what Bayern Munich would have chosen after last season’s scare.

This feels rather more like a proper Cup competition than usual, with a couple of genuinely delicious ties to savour, spiced with a little intrigue: Aguero v Messi, Mourinho v Mancini and the return of Didier Drogba.
