I don't have a draw in mind that would be considered fixed. I don't really buy into those theories.
As for the mock draw. Right, look at it this way, suppose UEFA does want to fix the games. What exactly is the point in making the mock draw identical with the real one? Do they want to arise suspicion?
Another thing, any random combination of teams is just as probable as the next. Meaning, the fact that the same draw happened twice is no more amazing than if it happened only once, with a different mock draw.

I haven't seen Chiellini outplayed by a CF the way he was outplayed by Drogba. The Ivorian might have scored "only" two goals on those CL matches against us back in 2009, and the second came when Chiellini was red carded, but he was always faster and stronger than Giorgio. The Ivorian terrorized Chiellini to the point that he had to make dirty fouls all the time and eventually get sent off.
I wouldn't like to see that again, even if it's harder to expect Drogba in a Galata jersey to get as many chances as he did back in 2009.

Drogba is annoying as fuck. It doesn't matter if he's old now. He's still very capable of pushing, elbowing, diving and escaping from the defenders. Less than a year ago he brought his team the CL. The only thing that might work against him is motivation. I'm not sure if he'll give 100% in that Galata jersey. But a motivated Drogba will be hard to stop.

Everything depends on the result from the first leg. Say we get Barca or Real and we play 1:1 at home. That means that we'll have to chase a goal from the start at Camp Nou or Bernabeu, which will be tricky against those teams. On the other hand, even if we beat them 1:0 or 2:1 in Turin, they will have to chase the result, but they'll have to do it on their own stadium. That's why teams usually prefer to play the 2nd leg at home. If you need to fix a fuck up from the first leg, it's better to be done on your stadium.
