Champions League - QF: Real Madrid, SF: Arsenal/Bayern, (H) for 2nd legs

[SWPISHOME]

I don't want Arsenal just for the fact that we play them twice a season already and meeting English sides in Europe doesn't have a Champions League feel to it.

The teams I wany to avoid is Atletico or Inter Milan, That is a nightmare draw for us with the way both sides set up.

The obvious one is Dortmund or PSV.

The obvious one is the only tie I would feel confident about. I am a long time on record as saying a good defence is what helps you win this competition. We showed that clearly last year when previously conceding too many soft goals had us heading for the exit. So far this season we have not shown enough solidity at the back and for that reason could easily lose out to most teams left in it.

looking like a meaty draw. In order of preference, taking into account we can get the big glamour tie in the SF:

1. Dortmund/PSV, 2=. PSG or Barcelona, 4. Atletico/Inter, 6. Arsenal, 7. Bayern Munich, 8. Real Madrid

Any team but Arsenal.
Our record against British teams in the CL is awful.

Come on Utd. Sorry. Come on you dippers. Wait one. What! they are not in it. Shocking.

 

[Gray]

Champions - Man City, Barcelona, Bayern, PSG
Runner Up - Arsenal, Real Madrid, Dortmund, PSV
3rd Place - Atletico, Inter

So some very strong teams left in the draw.

4 Champions, 3 Runners Up and 1 3rd Place will be the quarter finalists.

If PSV lose to Dortmund then the 8 teams left will be from the 5 top ranked UEFA nations.

The Competition is a bit of a closed shop for most of the UEFA membership.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Short notice,
Bayern isn't allowed to have own fans in the next CL AWAY match
for UEFA punishing fan poor behavior.

 

[Withnail]

We're going to get Arsenal aren't we?

Bring it on, over 2 legs I would fancy our chances. Definitely prefer to play them now rather than the final.

 

[Alias]

Take Barca all day long.

 

[Newman123]

Over 2 legs we will beat anyone IMHO, they fear us not the other way around.

Agree. The only teams I dont want to play next round are you or Atletico.
