Some fun comments from the UEFA website:

Marwin Hitz, Augsburg goalkeeper: "I don't like travelling. Basel and [Austria] Wien are what's left then."

Sven Bender, Dortmund midfielder: "There are some killer opponents in the draw. But if you want to make it far, you will face them at some point anyway. Of course, it would be nicer to face a supposedly easier opponent first. [Drawing Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool] would of course be a highlight. Unfortunately, we would then have to hurt him."

They want bigger bowls XD

Tottenham v Fiorentina was last season, too...

Dortmund v Porto, that could be good.

Alex Frei is allowed to visit Dortmund again XD

Fenerbahce SK vs FC Lokomotiv Moscow

RSC Anderlecht vs Olympiacos Piraeus

FC Midtjylland vs Manchester United

Fenerbahce SK vs FC Lokomotiv Moscow

Not a great draw considering what's going on between Turkey and Russia... if I were a fan, I wouldn't be desperate to get a ticket to the away game...

FC Augsburg vs Liverpool FC

So Marwin Hitz has to travel after all XD

Manure getting easy draws in EL too ffs

They are just unstoppable in this regard aren't they ?!

AC Sparta Praha vs FC Krasnodar

Augsburg Liverpool
Weinzierl to haunt Kloppo's nighmares as he already haunts Pep's

Tough draw for Augsburg, that.

Galatasaray Istanbul vs Lazio Rom
Poldi vs Klose

It's getting better with lesser balls in the bowls ^^

FC Sion vs Sporting Club Braga

FC Sion just ousted FC Basel from the Swiss Cup yesterday, BTW.

R.I.P Italy's coefficients
