Wojciech Szczesny: I want Juventus to win a big game in England
More reasons to beat them now, that scum

Seen loads of Juventus fans on Twitter say how easy this draw is for them. Fucking slags.

I'm not fussed about us getting Juve, more the easy ties for Liverpool, United and City.
Still, it's a win win for me.
Huge couple of CL glory nights.
If we win then we can win the CL, if we don't then it will hurt but we can focus on the league whilst the rest of the English teams are still in the competition.
The only annoyance is that this round will likely not eliminate many (if any) of the other English sides and I fear our fellow PL rivals would beat us later on if we got through.

Think we could beat Liverpool and Chelsea, but not the other 2 Manchester clubs.

Wait so there's now a UEFA conspiracy against Spurs as well
Not against Spurs, but for City, Liverpool and United - certainly. There is far too much money in it for UEFA not to want the clubs that generate most punter interest to stay in the competition to the later stages.

Idiots. We finish top of our "group of death" and we've already done them this season any way

No offence, but I don't think that will make a blind bit of difference.
That's the hardest draw we could have got imo as they will be very organised with their defenders having every trick in the book. Would prefer a team that's going to play a more open game.
Still, great tie to be involved in and if we can get Toby and Wanyama back we have a chance.
Decent draw all things considered.
Not the worst for us if Liverpool/United make it through a round or two, could cost them a few league points rather than having 1 game per week earlier on.
As JJ said on BT Sport, one of Real or PSG going out.

Dear Santa
If we don't reach the final and win
Please don't let Liverpool.

With a little bit of neutral empathy, you can look at how they must feel. They were in Pot 2, and still they've avoided some REALLY big teams.
Delighted with that! Playing Champions League football is what such fixtures is all about imo.
Regarding the so called easy draws for Liverpool and United...and even City. Don’t let the arrogance of the English media fool you. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see at least one fail to go through to the next stage. City would be a shock obviously but Basel could have beat United 3-0 in their game the other week and they won games when they had to. The sort of fixture I could easily see us fluffing right up for example!
Who gives a fvck about them anyway? City aside, none of them stand a chance of winning it.
PSG-Real is huge and probably decides who’s the favourite.

Fantastic tie, against on of the giants of European football. We get to see some great players like Buffon, Chiellini and Dybala. But equally they've been having problems this year, especially defensively, and are not the force of old.
