I actually think that Napoli will give Real a hard time. Napoli are underrated on this forum, and Real is not really impressing me this year. Arsenal also has a good chance vs Bayern if they continue to strugle under Carlo.

Real seems to be massively underrated on this forum you mean. They haven't lost in nearly 40 games whilst not playing well, sound like anyone familiar?

Decent draw, let's hope we are there mentally not underestimating them.
This is the main reason people should shut the fuck up about this "oh we are through".


How many times have we been like "lol cant be arsed" against 'weaker' opponents ?



Good thing we have Higuain, who'll make a significant difference against these teams

Napoli to go through. Won't they have Milik back too?
They most likely won't eliminate Real. However, them playing at home for the return leg is big as they are scary at he San Paolo. They need to survive the away game without conceding too many goals and win big the second leg in Naples.

I don't see it happening but Sarri has made them into a strong team. They learned to play with a false 9 with Mertens scoring many goals lately and they will be even stronger if Milik returns. I think they can give Real a tougher time than Roma last year.

Didn't they lose against Besiktas at home?

Only team to have knocked Real out in the last 3 years.... yep, you guessed it.
Incidentally Real are the only team to have knocked Atletico out during the same time.
Atletico the only team who's knocked Barca out.
