CL Draw | QF: Atletico Madrid | SF: Chelsea/Real Madrid

Try to smash them early and finish the tie as a contest in the home leg

Although could be easier said than done.

Liverpool v Bayern in the semis is nice, but if we make it through its not as if ours is going to be a cakewalk either

Do we know dates yet?

Very happy with that and the fact we avoided Bayern and Liverpool, which is a fixture which could certainly have an impact on their Premier League fixture thinking.

We face a version of Atletico most weeks and they don't have outright pace on the counter.

Home ties for both rounds, Chelsea would have no fans attending?

It's a City v Bayern or Dippers final.

That’s how I feel playing against Atletico. We get plenty of practice playing against a parked bus every week and they’ve got no pace up top to threaten us. I’m not saying it’s going to be easy because they’re the master of the dark arts, but yeah I’m happy with the draw. Chelsea/Real semi will be decent too.

Spending a weekend in Paris with 50k scousers makes me ill though.

potentially having to play Liverpool in the final is horrendous. being in Paris with a load of dippers is just shite.

Probably shouldn't get ahead of ourselves but this is the very first thing I thought when I saw the Semi Draw.

It would be absolutely awful for what should be a great event.

Wow, that's great optimism. I'm pretty sure Chelsea will be allowed fans by the point of the semi-final though.

My only concern about Atletico is that their "playing style" of niggly fouls, time wasting and the odd fast counter attack is quite similar to...erm...Palace.

They were shite the other night at OT. Utd were just shiter.

Same to you pal, your very knowledgeable..

Only in comparison to some.

 

[Silva's Magic Boot]

First leg at home in both rounds (potentially) is shite

 

[Andouble]

counting chickens before they hatch etc, but would be happy only having to play Liverpool or Bayern once rather than twice!

Glad we are not travelling first and not in the other side of the draw. That’s the best I can muster.
