Without knowing the ins and outs of Monaco, Porto or Salzburg, on paper that appears a very good possible route to the semi finals for us. All ties are one-off games and we've been drawn at home in both the last 16 and quarter final if we beat Monaco.
Monaco finished runners up in a relatively easy looking group (that Porto won) then just squeezed through their play off on penalties against Molde.
Salzburg qualified via the Champions route and very impressively beat Sporting CP 5-2 in the play-off - they could be our biggest challenge of the 3.
FWIW if we reach the semis, we'd be against the winner of the top game there (i.e. Bayern, Real Madrid, Chelsea or Feyenoord).
