Liverpool to get the winner of United-Sevilla. Juve to get the winner of Shakhtar-Roma. In the semis we get the winner of Liverpool-United/Sevilla.
Let Bayern, City, Madrid and Barca murder each other.

And then we lose another final.
I'd rather we get one of the big four in the semi finals over two legs. Better chance of masking individual quality that way. And maybe Liverpool in the final.

I was thinking that as well

let's genocide some more britbongs
:agree: Would love to crash more hyped english teams.

But on the other hand I don't want to wait til the final to face Real or Barce. Within the last 20 years we have beaten them everytime we've faced them in the knockout stages, but in the finals we've lost.

Lol, yes.

Especially Real and Barca, cause they've never lost a CL-Final during the last 25 years (10 final wins out of 10).

Bayern isn't that superior in finals.

LETS FUCK UP UNITED! Oh the joy.

+they are really not a good football team at the moment and their midfield is worse that ours.

Baby plz.

Sounds good to me (put aside the last part about losing the final..)
Liverpool will beat United/Sevilla while I fully expect us to go through Roma/Shakhtar..
Barca vs Real at QF could be nice and then the winner to face Bayern/City

The way I see it our preference should be
1. Shakhtar
2. Liverpool
3. Man Utd (If sevilla go through then change place with Liverpool)
4. Man City
5. Bayern
6. Real Madrid
7. Barcelona

Can we meet Barcelona in QF?
Also when is the draw?

Y'all must be $#@!en high wanting City over United.

Have you guys seen the two teams play?
I think I rather see us facing Utd but I do understand why he says he would rather see us face City

I don't understand it.

It makes no sense from objective criterias; form, style, tempo, quality, confidence etc.
Think of it in terms of style of play - Utd because of Mourinho defend much better while they are dangerous as they have Sanchez and Lukaku along with Pogba
With City we will definitely suffer more but it should be easier for us to attack using counter attacks - Liverpool did it vs City and won and so could we...
In any case I think playing Utd has some upside as well as it could make us attack more therefore get some self belief to play a slightly more attacking style which could help us win
Lets hope we get Shakhtar or Pool as it would be much easier to beat those two

Juve-Man U will be a defensive deathfest and the game will be decided by a moment of individual brilliance. I dont want to go through another ordeal of seeing high intensity, pacy teams breathing down our necks for most of the tie. I need some 'ugly football' in my life.

Book this clash UEFA

What?

I want City, Bayern, Real and barca to meet each other in the quarters.
Tbh it's more personal than on a football level as losing to them would confine me to home for weeks. That said, when it comes to CL nights you can bet your money on mourinho, this fucker knows how to scrape it. City are a lot tight at the back unlike last season but I don't know we usually do well against the favourites.

I am always overconfident when it comes to Juventus. And City have been a naive team for many years now.

But if you look at our team right now, the way we'v been playing... We're nowhere near the team we were three years ago or even last year.

I just cannot see us beat City, unless we somehow drastically improve (which, fortunately, does tend to happen with Allegri in March-April).
