Out of interest would people swap our draw for Liverpool’s.
I’m hearing we have got a really tough draw, but I didn’t want Bayern or Liverpool.
Athletico could have been easier with Villarreal or Benfica, but they would have been the next one I choose (I appreciate playing style will be a concern and we will need to exercise patience). However, the general feeling is that United where just terrible and they where not outclassed.
Real/ Chelsea is obviously going to be a tough game, whichever way it goes and I think there is a good chance Chelsea fans will be back one way or another by then (however for all the UEFA is corrupt) they surely won’t want a Russian team in the final.
PSG where the better team against Real over 1 and a 1/2 legs and if it was not for Mbappe running offside needlessly, I think they would have won.
That said despite age Modric/ Benz showed they still have world class ability at times, so I think they would be able to hurt us, although strength wise our team/ squad is better.
In short the bookies have 3 favourites (us, L’pool and Bayern)
2 in with a chance (Chelsea, Real)
1 a bit of an outsider (A.Madrid)
2 rank outsiders (Benfica and Villareal).
Would you prefer to be against another favourite and the rank outsiders.
Or 2 with a punchers chance and one it would be a surprise if they won the tournament?
