Champions League Draw | QF - Bayern Munich | SF - Real Madrid

[PaleBlue]

Chelsea - good time to play them and we owe them one.

 

[Crooked_rain]

I don't even mind that much

You can't expect any easy games at this stage onwards, it'll be whatever it'll be

I believe we can beat any of these sides over two legs anyway and if we can't, that's on us.

I'll take anyone

 

[Gorbachev]

Using this logic we also have a mental block against Spanish and French teams!

We've beaten the likes of Paris and Atletico in the CL knockouts. Up until the last 5 minutes against Madrid that was a great 2 legs by us.

Never seen is play well against an English side in the CL.

Not sure if we have even won a game?

 

[Protein Junkie]

I always think there’s two ways to look at it.
If you want to go as far as possible and rely on upsets elsewhere for me it’s Benfica, AC or Inter.
If we believe we can win it then let’s get Kraut Rags or Madrid and KO them.

No, I see what you're saying, but I think it's just a quick of the seeding system rather than a massive block. I'd be confident enough beating Chelsea over two legs, but for other reasons would prefer not to play them.

Probably something to be said for playing better teams over two legs and then getting a on paper weaker team in the final. But at this point, as City well know, there really aren't any easy games.

No matter who we draw UEFA will makes sure the first and second goals last night wouldn’t be allowed again and Eddie would be sent orff.

Potentially 5 games to play and 3 decisions to level up....UEFA won’t forget !!

 

[PhillyBasedBlue]

I would like:

• Bayern v Chelsea
• Napoli v R. Madrid
• AC Milan v Inter Milan
• Benfica v City

Bayern v Madrid
Napoli v Milan
City v Inter
Benfica v Chelsea

 

[Chi-town blues]

We get who we get and deal with it accordingly.

Wills it .

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Ideal draw would be the following:

1. Napoli v Bayern
2. Benfica v City
3. Chelsea v Madrid
4. Inter v AC

Winner of match 1 plays 3 in the semi and 2 plays 4

I like the cut of your jib sir!!

 

[CTID1999]

Not that I want to play them but I would rather play Madrid over two legs than in a final

 

[Mid Wales blue]

I’ve gone for Bayern, as we haven’t played them in champions league since 14/15 season, so you can bet, it’ll be the draw that comes out of UEFA’s pot first.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Not that I want to play them but I would rather play Madrid over two legs than in a final

Would rather we played to the final whistle if we play Madrid

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

I've gone for Inter as we'd get to welcome Edin back and they're beatable more easily over 2 legs than maybe Benfica or AC Milan imo.
Would prefer to avoid Bayern, Real Madrid or Napoli but scared of none of them and all three will not want to draw us.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

I don't really want Napoli for a number of reasons

Firstly, they're having a fantastic season and they've got some seriously gifted players.

It's also a volatile location, and England's finest will be arriving there next weekend (not to mention 400 uninvited Frankfurt fans in town tonight)

The last thing we need is to be playing in Naples just a few week's after England have trashed the place.

 

[James2401125]

Whoever we play I hope the second leg is away from home, flight prices for the first leg are ridiculous already.

So chelsea would be ideal it's time to break our jinx in Europe against English teams

Napoli will play like Monaco did. They're the side I want least before Istanbul.

 

[Agueroooo9320]

Inter for me. very very fundamental and basic side. so easier to deal with tactically and play our game. also pep can get a closer look at nico barella as a transfer target.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Anyone barring Madrid, Bayern or Napoli would do for me. I’ve got a sneaky feeling about Chelsea, they seem to do well in this tournament when they face a bit of adversity and team turmoil. They have got some good players there if Potter manages to knit it all together.

Last night was refreshing in the football that was played. We haven’t see anything like that since the Derby performance wise, you do have to be careful not to play your best football too early in the knockouts. We’ve seen teams look like favourites and then come a cropper in the next round.

The champions league is a cruel mistress from our last decade of taking part. Performances like last night make you believe we can go all the way and do it, however if our lot are not on it during every half in every game all the to the final we could be feeling like we did when Madrid suckered us last Spring.
