Summary
Well that was fun, wasn't it?!
Matt Davies-Adams has got Simon Johnson and Sam Parkin alongside him to reflect on the Champions League draw LIVE...oh, wait.
After hijinx of the highest order - it was confirmed that Chelsea WILL face Lille in the round of 16.
Amid all the chaos there's reflections on the much needed 3-2 victory over Leeds - then it's all eyes on Everton and the return of Rafa Benítez to Stamford Bridge - with the Toffees finding themselves in a very sticky position after a miserable run of recent form.
