I think from a strategic perspective, if you are the best team in the tournament (which I think we are) then you probably want to play the better teams over two legs rather than in the final. You have more chance of a statistically anomalous game evening out over more time.
Therefore, if it means avoiding playing them in the final we probably want to knock Real and Bayern out in the quarters and semis.
The alternative perspective… I would rather not play them at all and somebody else beat them.
So Benfica please.
