What change would make Real Madrid worse than Celtic? 
I doubt that anything would change so much that Celtic could eliminate Juventus. If we get them we're definitely through. I want Celtic. Galata won't be too shabby either. It's teams like Porto and Valencia that I fear the most. Juve most probably won't give the best against them, and they are good enough to eliminate a big team that underestimated them. I'd rather avoid Arsenal and, of course, getting Real Madrid would be a nightmare. This time we won't eliminate them.

true that little could happen in making Real a more desirable opponent than say Celtic but I'd argue that the way Real has been playing in a number of games this year, makes them a more "convenient" opponent than the scotts, who are tough to break down and very dangerous on the counter. Come to think of it, unless Mou balances out his midfield to provide better cover for the defense, Real could well be out of the CL this very next round should they meet a more serious team.
again, too much time left to make any serious predictions right now.
Lucescu: “Juventus played a good game, prepared well, were aggressive and won the midfield battles, then took advantage of a refereeing error. In my view, the goal was offside,” said the former Inter Coach

Pogba MOTM? Dafuq, can't say I agree at all, tbh. Even though he played a good game overall, he was too laid-back at times and gave some easy balls away. We were lucky that Shakhtar wasn't more effective in using those chances.
I thought Chiellini was MOTM, but I thought Licht and Vidal was great as well.

Nah, the problem was that Vidal got a thin yellow card very early and therefore had to be cautious the rest of the game. I thought he played a brilliant game to be honest, and Willian didn't create a lot.

LOL, the nerve of that Romanian faggoty gypsy after the Fernandinho handball.
