Champions League 2016/17: Playoff Round - Steaua Bucharest

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Imagine if that happened...would leave a bad taste for the rest of the season. Don't even wanna think about it.

There's a really good chance we will end up in the EL and I'm not sure why it'd leave a bad taste? We will be playing our 2nd and 4th competitive games of the season against a team who will be a good 2 or 3 weeks in front of us. It's football and stuff happens.

So at some point, they've changed the rules over the last 4 years.
I'm pretty sure that previously the Seeded team's always played the second leg at home. So they have the benefit of the crowd that outweighs the disadvantage of away goals in extra time counting double (if still a draw at full time),
If this doesn't apply, how do the Seeded team's have an advantage?
Apart that is from not playing a qualifier in the previous round? Or have I answered my own question?

 

[McfcInsideMe]

Any team is good for me, Roma too.

Would be embarrassing for sure but we would get to see more of the young players on Thursday nights. That said, we will be heavy favourites against any of those five.

How do you figure? Roma and Monaco will be tricky but we will still be heavy favorites and deservedly so against all of these teams.

What a fucking joke of a competition it is.

 

[Wolfkin]

Would like Monaco

 

[MillionDollarDream]

Draw was kind to us last season, can't see them giving us yet another Roma match up.

 

[KCblue]

I'd prefer the easiest possible opponent. I'll never say this again but give me Young Boys.

No Roma please, nightmares of going out to a last minute goal off Dzeko's arse
