UEFA Champions League Round of 16 draws
A player and a manager figure to have rather eomtional homcomings when UEFA Champions League play resumes.
The draws for the Round of 16 were released today and features several juicy matchups, none more so than AC Milan vs. Manchester United and Inter Milan vs. Chelsea.
Inter Milan/Chelsea will see Inter manager Jose Mourinho matched up against his former team since his controversial departure from Stamford Bridge in 2007. Mourinho has actually faced off against his former employer this past summer at the Rose Bowl in July as part of the World Football Challenge (Chelsea won 2-0), but this time, Mourinho will make his return to Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United/AC Milan figures to get the most attention, as AC Milan midfielder David Beckham, currently on loan from the Los Angeles Galaxy, will finally get the chance to play at Old Trafford since his departure from ManU in 2003. Beckham starred in Manchester United's midfield from 1995-2003, but left for Real Madrid in the summer of 2003 after his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson was strained.
