Now you are talking that is the Italy I love.

Nip around Sorrento and on to the Amalfi coast. A whole world away from Napoli and simply breathtaking.

 

[Sky Blue]

Chelsea I reckon. Prefer Benfica.

 

[dublinblue12]

A. C Milan for the novelty of it. Not played then competively in my life time and as a 90s kids, it still seems glamorous.

If are to play Madrid at some point, I'd rather we do it before a final or even Semi final.

Looking at who's left we are rightly favourites now.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

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

This please

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Madrid in a one off - so the Final.
Fancy us over 2 legs v any of the others.

Was looking at the ClubElo European Rankings for the eight. According to their statistical analysis of results over the last 4 years with recent results given greater weighting:

1st - Manchester City are the best team in Europe
2nd - Bayern Munich
3rd - Napoli
5th - Real Madrid
(for interest Arsenal currently 4th, Liverpool 6th and united 7th. Tottenham are 11th)
10th - Chelsea
12th - Inter
13th - Benfica
(RB Leipzig currently 15th, Brighton 16th)
18th - Milan

Gives some idea of the relative strength of the 8 clubs based on past performance in Europe and domestically.
No easy games but we should be afraid of nobody either. The Leipzig results was a great statement of intent.

Stats cant show mind set and im sorry but Real Madrid should be favourites for this tournament every year. Form goes out the window when they play knockout format.

Quick hop over to Capri where 'Our Gracie' used to live, beautiful little island. Don't forget to stock up on Lemoncello whilst in Sorrento. Positano, Ravello and Sophia Loren's villa on the coastal drive which is scarry but breathtaking at the same time.

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

The dream draw!

You just know we’ll get the complete opposite.

I think it’s about time the “city always get easy draws” actually happens in our favour today

Did I claim we were favourites or would win it?
Just a view showing historical strength and of particular interest the Strength of the two Milan teams and Benfica.

The emperor Tiberius was keen to throw those that displeased him off the cliffs of Capri. Just for a laugh.

Sounds like my kind of head of state.

 

[Impeccable One]

Just a heads up, if both Milan teams get drawn at home/away the same week, Inters home/away will be swapped.

Naples is only place without direct flights from Edinburgh

Would really bamboozle the fixtures committee if they end up playing each other.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Either of the Milan’s or Benfica please.

Chelsea if we really have to.

Need to be avoiding Madrid, Bayern and Napoli.

I would put Real and Bayern as favourites and you could argue Napoli should be more fancied than us based on this season. We are comfortably better than the other four teams though.
