I'll be happy as long as we don't get barca, bayern or RM. At least the odds are in our favour to not get one of these teams. (3/7 vs 4/7)

I'd much rather face Madrid than Bayern or Barca personally.

Dead sure will sit back and soak up the pressure against them too.Possession game is obviously not Madrid's strength so in terms of style ,Madrid would suit us more.

Anyone notice how it's "Porto/Malaga" but not "bayern/arsenal". I mean, I know Bayern are 99 percent through, but still, kinda weird to completely write off arsenal's chances.

No, Real on their day could cause us some serious trouble. Their speed from the wings would hurt us, as it would kill our offensive game and provide us no width due to our wing backs falling back.

Oscar against Chelsea did a decent job on Pirlo. I fail to understand why Ozil wouldn't do as much as a decent job as him in a much better team.

As for the draw, at this stage I don't think it matters who we face. I remember watching juve during the capello days lose to lesser teams like arsenal and Liverpool. I think that there are sometimes advantages in facing a 'better' team on paper, and they should be weighed against the obvious advantages. At the end of the day, our best game would be Porto or gala but I wouldnt at all be upset with drawing barca or bayern. We're going to face those teams eventually if we want to win the whole thing.

Other than the extra money, there is no difference between facing them now or later.
