Do we play the winner of the Az tie in the semis?

 

[Raz]

Nice draw, looking to a good match, much more fun to play lyon then az or basel.

 

[Linebreak]

Can someone tell us a bit about Lyon? Strengths and weaknesses?

We should go through to the next round without problems. But you never know, if we underestimate them...

 

[Alen]

Do we play the winner of the Az tie in the semis?

New draw for the semis in April

 

[Preet]

they're 5th in ligue 1. good draw for you guys

AZ - BENFICA
LYON - JUVENTUS
BASEL - VALENCIA
PORTO - SEVILLA

The only tie which is open is Porto Sevilla with Porto obviously the favourites for that tie
Benfica will crush AZ
We should be able to beat Lyon
Valencia will walk through Basel
Porto Sevilla shouldnt be one sided but Porto should be able to go through

Who do we meet after we beat Lyon?

Lyon: fifth in France... best players are Lacazette, Gomis, Briand and Courcuff

They don't have any strengths, only weaknesses.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Shame porto and benfica didnt draw each other

 

[Linebreak]

@ people already planning for the game after we "beat" Lyon.

Incredible how quickly our game in Europe is forgotten.

 

[Trequartista]

Good draw.

The Portuguese teams will cause us a lot of problems if we beat Lyon.

 

[frzl]

decent draw for us but the other pairings could have been better.
as in the cl the 4 (arguably) best teams avoided each other. could bring some nice matches in the semi finals.

This would have been such a great match back in 2005.

We didn't have the perfect draw (Basel, AZ), but we also didn't get those teams who'd have troubled us with their style (Benfica, Valencia, Sevilla). For me, Lyon and Porto were the middle ground in the draw.
I don't think Lyon are weaker than Sevilla or Valencia, but a French team will suit us more than a Spanish one, imo.
