So what would’ve happened if in the second to last draw PSG drew Porto and only Bayern and Inter would’ve been left? Inter and Bayern can’t face each other since they were in the same group.

@Sahil2 That’s a good question.

UEFA UCL Round 16 rules take precedence in this situation: Teams from the same group or country could not be drawn to face each other .

During the draw, the last two clubs in the Runners-up bowl were Inter and PSG. When Inter was drawn, there was only one possibility for Inter and that was to draw against Porto as you rightly said Inter and Bayern were in the same group earlier.

With PSG as the last one remaining, it was set up against Bayern.

Here is the link to the UCL Round 16 Draw Replay (You can watch 17:58 min onwards for the last 2 draws - Inter and PSG)

This scenario is quite impossible :slightly_smiling_face:

The last four balls left at this stage contained Bayern, Inter Milan, PSG and Porto

It had to be a technical straight match-ups at this point to ensure Porto as a group winner was paired with Inter Milan while Bayern got PSG, giving that Bayern and Inter Milan were in the same group
