Sorry for that. My hopes died last summer

This draw is just ridiculous. Have we thought about how physically draining it has to be for the team to come out of the left bracket (our bracket) to play the final after having played the quarter and semi-finals both in the same week? Say we would miracously make it to the final, we would have played Lyon on the 7th, Real/City on the 15th, Barca/Bayern on the 18th, and then the final (idk, say Atletico or PSG) on the 23rd. That's facing 3 top-tier teams in an 8-day time-span.
Good. Added bonus to United hopefully missing out on CL is that this utterly flawed ffp system may be scrapped. Find something that keeps the playing field level for everyone as opposed to letting the rich get richer.
Also, how about if you're stopping owners from putting money into the club you stop them from taking it out too?

We will play the potential semi on 19th, not 18th, and that's the only problem, because the semi from the other bracket is played on the 18th and that winner will have a day more to rest before the final, despite not having to play a return leg in the 1/8 finals.
But in one offs you can't predict who's gonna be more favored by the schedule. It may turn out that Bayern B squad eliminates Chelsea in the return leg and then wins the quarters and semis in 90 minutes, while Atletico plays extra time with Leipzig and PSG on their way to the final.
A similar thing happened at WC 2018, when France made it through the harder bracket by winning everything in 90 minutes, while Croatia made the final from what seemed like a much easier part of the bracket, but played extra time for 3 straight matches before the final.

I honestly would have been much more confident about this draw if Allegri was still our manager.
We could have potentially pulled off a Portugal style upset with him especially when you have your two strikers in such good form.
I wonder if Sarri is even gonna think of this strategy(assuming we get past Lyon which we really should). I'd love to see all our best defenders playing at the same time.
