CL QF Draw - City V Spurs ===== SF V Ajax (If we get there)

[Deleted member 77198]

It’s a tremendous draw

Spurs were one of the 3 I wanted. To be away first is an added bonus

Of the 3 other likely semi finalists, Juve, Liverpool and Barca.. Juve is the one I would have picked

Can see a city v Barca final

Yeah other than if Porto were drawn with Ajax that’s spot on for me that too.

Should do. This run is less tough arguably and we haven't had our foot off the gas for a few months this time.

I think this is a fantastic draw, absolutely fantastic.

I don't mean it's easy for us to get by Spurs, not at all, but as someone who puts the league first, the thought of 2 games v the rags & maybe two v Liverpool or Barca, whilst also having to play the rags in the league, would have put severe strain on our resources.

3 games v Spurs is not good at all, but it's much much better than the alternative & much much better than it might have been.

If Barca manage to somehow lose to the rags, Liverpool playing them twice would kill them in the league.

Is there any official confirmation of the date of the second leg? Have seen conflicting information.

I don't know why so many think Juventuss will get past Ajax... I got my money non Ajax in that matchup

 

[Stoned Rose]

I’m happy with that draw.

I’m confident we’ll deal with spurs.

I’m confident we could deal with Juve or Ajax.

Final against either Barca or the dippers.

Fuck me I love being a Blue.

Yeah Spurs were my second pick after Porto, they won't be easy games but we struggle less with them than we have done with the dippers, Barca, Juve etc and there's less mental baggage there than the rags. Liverpool got the easy tie but playing Porto guarantees that come match day 38 we won't have played more matches than them in Europe, so at worst we have the Swansea game and an FA Cup semi played more than them when the league finishes.
Less travel with Spurs too, which could be the difference in a tight title race.

Both matches will kick-off at 8pm.

The away leg is expected to be played at Tottenham’s new stadium.

This looked official enough.
