It was meant with the utmost respect. I fear City a lot more than I fear Bayern. Two legs against you lot would be a nightmare scenario. In a off game though, say in a European final, I think we could do a job :)

We have a defensive weakness if Pep decides he wants to reinvent the Wheel

We have been down this Road a few times before in the latter stages where we expect the obvious and Pep overthinks the game.

How many times have we naively gone out after going away at this stage of the competition with a 2,3, goal lead.

We've also won loads of big champions league games against the best teams in the world with Pep as our manager.

Pep's "overthinking" and "naive" are meaningless media cliches. He's a tactical innovator who gets it right a lot more than he gets it wrong whch is why he's won dozens of trophies including the Champions league twice.
 
The best of draws and the worst of draws Bring it on.

I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that Chelsea will beat Real and we’ll get two legged revenge for 1971. What a titanic SF that would be.
 
We have just put out the second and third best teams in Germany and you pussies are worried that we won't put their countries best team out.
 
Bayern league form.

These kind of draws are far more exciting than the alternatives like we’ve had on the past. Bayern and then possibly Madrid and then possibly Napoli really gets the juices flowing! This is the standard of competition we should be facing in the highest standard of club football there is.

We’ve faced teams in the past who we were two dozen points and more ahead of in the Prem, teams who were midtable in France… and we got knocked out, so we may as well get this level of competition.

I’m buzzing. This could be a Summer we’ll never forget with some of the greatest games in the club’s history taking place.

Now that IS the spirit. Bring it all on, we are a quality side and favourites for a reason
 
What a shit fucking draw.
But facing facts, we have to beat this calibre of opponents if we really are as good as we think and wish to obtain our place amongst the record books.


I mean, we can’t all be Liverpool and luck our way to a trophy!
 
Dare I say we’ll target Cancelo the same way we did Zinchenko? He’s shit defensively and could see him losing his head because of it.

Bayern have conceded in 1 of their games in the Champs this season. Shut out Barca, Inter and PSG in the 6 games vs them.

Think you can boil us progressing down to if Kev turns up or not. And if we can deal with a counter attack which includes Sane and Mane. We go inverted fullback vs them we're fucked

Bayern were the side i didn't want because of the counter attack threat, but they definitely should of conceded to psg. They were very defensive and their cbs had to be brillant, so hopefully we score the chances we will create.
