Who do we want in the last 8 of the Champions League?

[am_yisrael_chai]

I want to play the gooners or Chelsea. Oh wait..... ??

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I'd prefer a winter trip to Porto this winter.

i'd love bayern, they'd be like getting juve last year. they r totally beatable, if we take our chances and fully concentrate. Additionally it'd be funny to do the business over the side that always trounced the scum every year.

PSG dont scare me, Neymar will always be a distraction to any squad he's in. And their defense will always give chances away.

Dortmund are in good form, they have pace all over the pitch and are unstoppable as an attacking side, I dont fancy them at all.

I don’t care. Need to beat the best to be the best.

It takes all teams time to get to speed with elite European football. For example Man City started getting regularly into the champions league 7 seasons ago:
Season 1 - did not progress from group
Season 2 - did not progress from group
Season 3 - round of 16
Season 4 - round of 16
Season 5 - semi
Season 6 - round of 16
Season 7 - quarter

Look at Man City, imagine how much money they have spent over the last 7 years on transfer fees, wages and getting the “best” management team in football. Now look at the results. Didn’t even get out of the group the first two years.

We are progressing amazingly.

Lets get an easy draw for once... the game is about glory of course.. But for this time lets breathe a little.

 

[knowlespurs]

Porto all day long

 

[mil1lion]

To be honest, I think Dortmund would be a much harder tie than Real at the moment. They are flying and Real look real scratchy even with their pedigree.

This will be in February, Madrid will be much better by then. They've started to climb the table now and to be fair in the CL they have been good. The team that has won 3 straight Champions League will be harder than Dortmund. They always raise their game in this competition.

 

[LukaKranjcar]

Is Porto a actually an easy drawer or is that relative to the likes of PSG, Real Madrid etc?

 

[dirtyh]

Porto by far the weakest team left. Nailed on for the scousers but at least that’s it for the supposedly easy teams left and they can’t jam their way to the final like last year

 

[Gareth88]

I want Porto as they seem the easiest out of the choices but we will end up with Juve and I just with this VAR we actually get the rub of the green and their diving tactis will be neutralised

Nah let's bring on the big boys, rather than dragging this out. If we are lucky enough to get to the semis the bring me the easiest tie.

 

[dtxspurs]

I'd love to have the Ajax three back against some of these potential matches. We can hold off any attack in the world with those three fit and firing.

 

[Yid-ol]

Ajax or Porto are the easier games. But at this stage we know it will ve hard who ever we get.

I don’t think they’ve got as much to raise it this year. Big problems up front, Modric is 32 and paying for no rest in the summer, and Courtois is at a low ebb confidence-wise.

 

[Mr Pink]

Anyone bar Juve, they're the absolutely the last team we want to draw.

They're so strong all over the park, especially at the back, have mounds of experience and know how and have added Ronaldo.

So not fucking Juventus, anyone bar them.

They're the only one side I don't think we'd come out on top with.

I would fancy us against Real and PSG.

Porto or Ajax would be great though.

 

[daryl hannah]

I'd like it if Juve and Barca met each other.

I quite fancy another game with RM next round.

Sod's law we get Juve.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Get Ajax in here, and give De Ligt and De Jong a tour of the new stadium...

I was thinking kidnap them but I suppose that will suffice.

 

[Mate]

If there's a football god, we will draw one of the weaker sides as we TOPPED the group last year and were handed the best 2nd placed team for our efforts

 

[RichieS]

Definitely Ajax.
