There's no reason to be scared of any teams left and we're the favourites to win it for a reason. But, and it's a big one, football is played on super tight margins and there are three or four other very excellent teams. One year we have to take the opportunity a reasonably tidy draw gives us.Atletico will be tough obviously but strangely I'm looking at the teams left and thinking we can beat them all! Probably won't turn out that way but there really is no team we should fear. Come on blues!
Yes, thank you -- hadn't seen a thread posted about this match yet there but I will be watching! Really lucky (for me) we got the home leg first.Are you on the ticket exchange? You'd be surprised if you're on it at how easy it can be to pick up tickets, especially with this much covid flying about ATM.
I do a lot of those things on the first keg as well.If we want to finally win this Atletico are the kind of side we need to be beating. They don’t seem to be at the same level as in previous seasons, they’re miles off the pace in La Liga.
We know in the first keg they’re likely to sit deep, try and play on the counter, waste time and dive everywhere. Pretty much like 90% of the teams that turn up to play us. We should be well used to it.
Which? We can’t find anything that’s not extortionate !!Flights booked :)

Honestly though, if this was a tourney that was seeded 1-8, the draw looks pretty reasonable. Top 4 teams don’t have to play each other, Chelsea vs real is like a 4vs5 matchup. The only thing I would switch is give us benéfica and the dippers get atlético. Other than that, it looks good for us. Atlético looked putrid against United. They are there for the taking.I’m not only talking about City jim but the whole draw of certain clubs avoiding each other.
