Why couldn’t we face Lazio ???? Weird ?

Presumably because if we had drawn them, it would have left Bayern with no possible opponent. As Copenhagen were in their group and Leipzig are from the same country.

It's a shit draw overall. There's no big games that look exciting.

 

[shemnel]

it wasn't that we couldnt face Lazio, it was that Bayern couldnt be drawn against Copenhagen (group) or Leipzig (nation) so had to have Lazio.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Might even keep a clean sheet against this lot.

 

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

Why couldn’t we face lazio?

Because it would mean Copenhagen v Bayern who were in same group. I think......

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Might even keep a clean sheet against this lot.

Steady on!

 

[gray740]

Geography not your strong point, I take it?

No it isn`t .

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Might even keep a clean sheet against this lot.

Steady on.

 

[lancs blue]

When do we get the precise match dates?

Usually within 48 hours.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Leipzig and Copenhagen couldn't play Bayern.

We couldn't play Leipzig.

So they were the only 3 outcomes possible. Leipzig had to play Madrid, Copenhagen couldn't play Bayern as same group.

Lazio - Bayern
Copenhagen - City
Leipzig - Madrid.

Thanks. Thought after it was something to do with who would be left.

 

[Gordyola]

Anyone know who they add in the Group?

 

[Damanino]

they embarrassed United in group stage "Welcome to theatre of nightmares" lol, we need to make sure tho they are in for treat in this tie tho.

welcome to Manchester has to go up.

They didn’t explain the situation really weird one tbf

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Happy with that :) in fact, I'd say it's wonderful..WONDERFUL!

 

[houraisen]

Do not underestimate Copenhagen.
They are much stronger than United.

Thanks. I figured it was this contrived logic. What a great "draw".

 

[GortonBlue62]

[Gundoggin]

Same colour shirts.

It's only a shit draw if we're not in it.
