CL R16 - Real Madrid - (A) 26/02 - (H) 17/03

No point in worrying. If you can't beat whoever is put in front of you, you don't deserve to win the tournament. Unless you're Liverpool, in which case you can be shit, get 4 incorrect refereeing decisions and win anyway.
 
The last 16 games are in mid-Feb by which time Laporte should be back so City could be quite a different animal.

I remember City flying in previous seasons in the Premier League and everything was looking good for the Champions League but come the games some kind of fluke or non-performance would KO us. Perhaps this time we will do it.

I sort of have been thinking this,but then I realised we will get fucked over by dodgy refs and VAR ..

Naively I think it's luck in the CL.

Someone must stop Liverpool. That's the other aspect to this. I do not want them winning the league and Champions League.

Yip,it’s a strong possibility but their defence isn’t as watertight as last season,and in the champions league you won’t ride your luck like in league games,even though in theory it’s a straight 2 leg knockout now and the scousers did ride their luck last season,I can’t see them retaining it..
 
i think we will have a good run in over the last 16, players will be fired up because of the title, players coming back etc, i'l stick my neck out and say we will win it
 
We’d know the lineup for the draw pretty much after tonight’s games ... bar one or two teams to be decided tomorrow ... but as far as our possible opponents we should know the final list tonight itself!
 
Might as well prepare for Real Madrid and the politics that will come with it. Pep standing up for Catalonia and the local plod twatting us for fun. Ideal scenario for UEFA would be fuck us over on the pitch then ban us for being battered by PC Pedro.
 
So we could get:

Lyon
Napoli
Dortmund
Real Madrid
Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen (probably Atletico)
 
It's between these ones: Lyon, Dortmund, Real, Napoli, Atletico.

No easy draw there ... but come February if we have Laporte and Sane back and Aguero fit and firing and if CL is all that is left to play for (bar domestic cups) then we’d take whoever on!

I think they have refs and var for that. So even Lyon would do
