Champions League QF Draw - Lyon

[Deleted member 81382]

Need to beat Lyon first which won't be easy but this is our route to the final:

Quarter-final Lyon

Semi-final Barcelona or Napoli / Bayern Munich or Chelsea

Final Paris Saint-Germain or Atalanta / Leipzig or Atletico Madrid

Helps.

Basically go and win the game in a one-off game with none of that away goals / not move past the half way line / play for penalties bollocks.

On our day theres not a single **** out there we wouldn't slap in a one-off winner takes all game.

Couldn’t have put it better myself

I'm sure this has been posted somewhere in this thread, but can someone link/refer me to a post that explains how the tournament structure works moving forward, for example, are there still 2-legs?

1 legged ties.

Think of it as a knock out of 8 teams world cup style format. Games will come hot and fast as well every 3-4 days

Napoli v Barca finely poised at 1-1. I think Bayern will get to the semi out of those four clubs.

The other side of the draw is tricky to call. Any of those 4 could get through. Atalanta will get at PSG and they don't tend to do well when teams get at them. They'll be in a lot better shape having played so much more than PSG too.

Damn! Given the circumstances, this is actually quite exciting

IF this is the case, then injuries will have a HUGE role in this format. Dicey dicey.

Edit: and how will the yellow/red card system work?

Barcelona or Bayern if we get past Lyon.

Either one would be a very tasty tie.

Two legged ties haven’t really suited us in the latter stages so I prefer a one off game.

Neither of those will be easy though with our defence.

Saying that Let’s get to that stage first!
