CL R16 - Real Madrid - (A) 26/02 - (H) 17/03

[cjn]

Would really like to play either Real or Dortmund. Real because I think playing a big team would actually bring the best out of us and be good for the rest of the competition, and Dortmund so everyone can tell me how they don't rate Sancho because they watched him for a full 90 minutes.

Lyon but most likely Real Madrid but hey bring it on....

Lyon worst team left. Best team left that we can draw are RM.

So..Lyon!

Seem to remember we struggled against Lyon last season. I know they've lost a couple of players but could still be a difficult test. Be careful what you wish for!

Real Madrid for me, huge game for the players to raise their game and would interest the fans

Real Madrid please...

Want big names all the way to the final...

.......................................And beat them all

 

[lionheart]

It will be Napoli hopefully

Wouldn’t mind a trip to Atletico’s new stadium, even though that’d be the hardest game from a footballing perspective. Real would be a glamour tie and I think we could beat them over two legs.

Hoping for Madrid

The bent twats will be making sure the remote controlled balls have new batteries in them to buzz on demand.

The draw is always decided 2 hours beforehand before the 'live' draw is made. We'll get who we are given, simple as that.

Bent as fuck.

I'd like to get Dortmund and thrash the feckers, they've been uncomplimentary about us in the past and were very arrogant when they knocked us out the CL group. Very smug about themselves and their big home crowds.

 

[northwichblue]

Are we away first leg?

 

[domalino]

I want Real.

We've been quite fortunate in the last few years with both the group phase draw and the last 16 knockout draws.

Oh yeah, them too ... they were originally listed for 14th Dec, but then later rescheduled for Friday 20th ... they want to wait for the CL draw today and the LC SF draw on Wed now before finalising the Feb fixtures!

 

[Manchester33]

There's no easy side, so I'd go with the side that offers the best away day - Dortmund!!

Madrid means getting a thick ear off Franco's police force.

Italy means getting my arse stabbed & Lyon fans are very right-wing and unpleasant.

Also, Germany means we'd be allowed beer on the stands.

Are we away first leg?

YES!

LIVE now on BT Sports ... draw is probably not going to take place till 11:20-30 I guess
