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

[MCFC1993]

Why Leicester we don't play till the Wednesday ?

United play Thursday and scheduled for Saturday, so we'll swap with their game I think.

*tongue in cheek (sort of)* again

If we play Tuesday night vs Munich will our 2pm game away to Southampton be changed?

Yes

Yes

Of course it will, it will be moved to Sunday at 5.00 by the PL so that Arsenal have the advantage in the league!! :-)




Sorry I was getting the Southampton match mixed up!!

You know I never used to be cynical.... must be old age! Or seeing the alleged corruption across football. :-)

Which routes is everyone planning to take to get to Munich. Flights are cheap to Berlin but train times would make getting back from Munich to Berlin on Thursday morning very tricky

Frankfurt, Dusseldorf or Cologne are closer, have you tried those?

Try Salzburg

I’d win it by beating ANYONE! I just don’t get the macho attitude of “Let’s take the hardest route!” because it’s absolutely not true that you have to beat them to win it anyway!!

To be fair, I don't think there's a route THAT much easier than the others, because there's more factors than just teams on paper.

We could want Benfica and say its an easier game but then look at us in the league, we beat Arsenal and drew with the likes of Everton. That's top level football for you.

At least with the likes of bayern there won't be any complacency.

Not to say we would definitely be complacent against Benfica but there can certainly be a catalyst of that complacency when the draw comes out and you think you've had a bit of a touch. All it takes is a smidgen of that and it can be the difference between winning and losing at this level

That's why don't mind the draw

Can Cancelo play against us?

Yep

 

[WallyA]

You gotta beat the best to be the best.

The whole easy path to the final thing is overrated...

 

[RayCTID]

Not the easiest of draws but we have knocked out both PSG and Real Madrid so it is not beyond us.

Stansted to Frankfurt return cost me £70 which I was pretty pleased with. Hotels in Munich taking the mick though so staying in augsburg which is only 30 mins on the train and far more reasonably priced

Well looking forward to it, these games are what it’s all about, massive nights under the lights and potentially 5 amazing games to win it, whilst it won’t help our PL campaign, it will ensure we are switched on for these CL ties, there’s absolutely no danger of complacency and we are a year wiser, with a fully fit talented squad, I’d say they are more worried about us
