Liverpool FC legend Sami Hyypiä was the star of the show on Friday at the C More Studios in Helsinki, as the former UEFA Champions League winner draw the Round of 16 matchups at the official CHL Playoff Draw. These pairings set up the 2019/20 Road to the Final, as teams can now see the route they will have to take to become European Trophy winners.
