Champions League - QF: Real Madrid, SF: Arsenal/Bayern, (H) for 2nd legs

[Vienna_70]

This is our seventh successive season in the last eight of the Champions League.

Not bad for a little club that was in the third tier only a quarter of a century ago.

The best possible draw. Knocking out the best teams in 2 legs is much more probable than in the final. Not only that, but we close both legs at home. If we can get Dortmund in the final, then this would be the perfect draw to me.

Drawing Real is not the best possible draw. Probably the best team in the competition. The way we've played this season, it will be very difficult to move on to semis.

I can't see anyone beating us over 2 legs, bring it on :)

Considering our track record against other English sides in European competitions, I’d rather pay Bayern.

Real have been inferior to Napoli and Leipzig. We have lost once in 6 matches against them, and the one we lost it, we were winning in min 89. We are just superior to them in every possible way.

They are the best type of team for us. A team based on individual talent, and not in a cohesive idea like Liverpool or Arsenal.

They have been shite the last 4/5 weeks and were very fortunate to get past Leipzig.

We play Arsenal, Villa, Palace away, Real, Luton, Real in less than 18 days. And if we beat Newcastle, we play after the 2nd leg vs Real at Wembley vs Chelsea, Wolves or United/Liverpool.

April will be brutal and exciting :)

The first 10 days after the international break will be particularly challenging as we play 4 games in 10 days, two of them vs Arsenal and Real. Guess Pep will rotate heavily vs Palace and bring in the big guns in the last 20-30 minutes.

If you’re of the opinion that you’re going to have to beat them to win it, then the preferred option by far is getting them in a two legged match, with the second one at home.

We are so unlucky with this draw. We are in our worst form in a decade and RM are in their best form since Zidane was their coach.
