Champions League 2017/18 - Knock Out Stages

[dickie davies]

Would be better if Napoli take something off Shaktar then we don't have to worry at all about the result from the last game. That said I think we will win all six games as I suspect if Shaktar can't top the group they will also play a weakened team against us

They have no reason to play a second string against us, because in the Ukranian league...

Clubs play each other twice (once at home and once away) in the 26-match season. The league begins in mid-July and ends in mid-June. After 13 rounds of fixtures, there is a winter break that lasts for three months (from early December to early March).

Bit unrelated but is our game against shaktar a 19.45 kick off or 17.00 as a lot of games in that part of the world usually are?

Its advertised as 1945 GMT, but that is 2145 local time, meaning it finishes at about 2330 local time. However all the final group games normally kick off at the same time, so I doubt it can move.

I'd be really surprised if its Champions league KO round or Europa league they'd field a weaken side against us, we might against them of course.

If shaktar lose to Napoli they will need a point last game to qualify so will play there best available team.

Interestingly the rags would also have the same options but not Basel.

Wonder who'll get the better draw?

If playing now Real would be a great draw but I think we'll end up with Munich again.

the rags will get Feyenood.

 

[horlock_was_super]

Bet you the rags get drawn at home for both legs too!

Any one but real Madrid uefa won't want there darlings out to Early

That's why we won't be drawn against Real! They won't want us knocking them out early doors.

Seville will do nicely great away 5 days.

But neither would they want an Arab oil money club in the final.
