I thought it was a pretty tough group when it was drawn but an odd one, a group I could see us winning but genuinely also potentially see us coming 3rd or 4th in.

It's a tough group but not compared to having a Barca in it. For a start, we would have finished 2nd then have to beat Bayern Munich. New teams must face this even worse every year. They don't even get a puncher's chance to knock one team out over two legs.

Atletico were ruthless against Barca over both legs. If Torres didn't get sent off in the first leg it could have been really lopsided.

Atletico shut down the best offense in football and then countered with considerable threat. If there's one team I don't want to meet, it's Atletico - we're good going forward (but not as good as Barca) and our defense, while pretty good when set, is very susceptible whenever we turn the ball over.

Atletico is our worst match-up IMO.

Atletico are every club's worst match-up, as they play parasite football.

We have avoided a serious curve-ball, although their methods are designed around two-legged football.

In a one-off game, there would be no favourite.

Bayern must be pissed, considering their possession based game will be perfect for Simeone's tactics.

If we have to wear the dark blue away kit for the second leg we'd be best be for 4 or 5 up after the home tie.

I see Liverpool and Sevilla were not only kept apart but play second leg at home.

Just the draw I wanted, think they are the team we best have a chance against.

Don't think away goals in extra time count.
If 0-0 after 180 minutes I don't think you win by being 1-1 AET.

Anyway, 2-0 at home with a goal in Madrid means they'd have to score 4.

How many tickets do you think we'll get for the away leg?
