"Barcelona" defender Carles Puyol hopes that the UEFA Champions League draw will pair them up with the Italian vice-champions "AC Milan" in the round of 16. On Wednesday, the Catalans played their last group stage match against Lisbon's "Benfica." Tito Vilanova's team easily secured the top spot in Group G along with Glasgow Celtic and advanced to the next stage. "We don't care who our next opponent will be, but I would like to face Milan. I admire this team, and hopefully, we will face them again," said the 36-year-old veteran. Puyol is now urging all the team's players to focus on the Spanish "La Liga" championship and the "Copa del Rey" tournament. "After the Champions League group stage is over, we need to focus on the La Liga and Copa del Rey tournaments," added the Spaniard. The pairs for the Champions League round of 16 will be decided on December 20th. "Barca" could face "Milan," Donetsk's "Shakhtar," London's "Arsenal," Istanbul's "Galatasaray," or "Porto."
