Klopp:
"It is a beautiful tie, but it will be a huge challenge," he said. "They're the best team in Italy and very experienced. [But] I find it very hard to even think about the Champions League right now. It feels much further away than February."
Buffon:
“I’m happy in the sense that they were one of the teams that we were hoping to meet at this stage,Not because they’re a team which is inferior to others, but because they can be a test to help us understand how far we can go and where we can improve. It will be a beautiful and exciting test. We’ll be playing them in a fantastic stadium and in order to get to Berlin for the final we’ll have to go through Dortmund first, as has happened in the past. In the Champions League teams are transformed and sometimes perform a lot better than in their domestic leagues, probably because of the extra stimulus this competition gives us as players. Ciro Immobile had given us trouble during his time at Torino and he can do the same against us with Borussia Dortmund. The draw could have been better, but it could have also been much worse.”
Pretty much sums it up.

This automatically becomes a question abt which team is better on the break.For me,Dortmund play better on the break than Atleti.
The precision of their counter attacks sometimes is amazing to watch.We have to be fortunate this time round that they have less technical players in Immobile and Aubameyang as opposed to a Goetze or Lewa.
They wouldnt fucking care about posession.All they'd be looking to do is press the shit out of our players and hit us on the break.
I hope to god we dont play Pirlo in both games as i feel he could be a real weak point for us.

Saying we're lucky to get Dortmund is funny tho. We'd be lucky to get Monaco, or Porto, or even City. There's nothing lucky about Dortmund. With Reus back, they will run us ragged. That dude single handedly raped Real Madrid.
I'm not saying we're gonna lose, just that I wouldn't exactly call getting Dortmund "lucky".

Dortmund :devil:
$#@! those $#@!bag losers who cannot even get out of their relegation zone by December.
They're going to be tough because they have nothing left to truly play for but the CL these days it seems. But I think Juve got a favorable draw here.
Burn, burn, burn...

Good matchup. Not the best, obviously (Monaco/Porto) but good nonetheless.
Hopefully not in Turin, we need a clean sheet at home.
False. There is a draw after this round. And what does it matter who they meet, they are going far anyway
Juan Mata would be good. A good RB would be excellent but there aren't any.
He is tied to that cup with two girls.
Real Madrid will face one of Porto or Basel next round. Is that true

teams i think will progress to the QF:
Shakhtar Bayern > Bayern
Schalke Real > Real
Monaco Arsenal > Arsenal
Leverkusen Atletico > Atletico
now the more equal matches:
Porto Basel > i think Porto has more chances to progress but i hope Basel makes it
City Barcelona > i hope City can overcome them this time
PSG Chelsea > revenge for last season, PSG goes through i hope
Juve Dortmund > we got this!!!
Shakhtar Bayern > Bayern
Schalke Real > Real
Monaco Arsenal > Arsenal

It was my second choice after Monaco. Can't say this is an unlucky draw. But there are still those who think to face 2011-2013 Dortmund and are pissing their points just because they made 10 points against Anderlecht and Gala, so let be it. Dortmund are actually ridiculous, but perhaps by February they'll return to be a dangerous team, who knows. Right now, they are really not.
Just like Real did? Or Atletico? (who has a better attack). If this is our mentality, I hope we're knocked out. Fucking Immobile is their savior.
