Champions Leauge - Round of last 16

draw is tomorrow

pot1:
manchester united
real madrid
bayern
psg
chelsea
dortmund
a. madrid
barca

pot 2:
bayer
gala
olympiacus piräus
city
schalke
arsenal
zenit
ac milan


dortmund should avoid city
for bayern i don`t care, we beat anyone
schalke and leverkusen will be outsiders against every team

Not Bayern please.

Would rather A Madrid then the others, but PSG isn't a disaster. Don't fancy facing Ronaldo.

The difference in quality between those two pots is mental. Wish you could draw anyone at this stage - Manc derby would have been nice   

City and Arsenal are the only ones to be afraid of in pot 2. And everyone will want united in pot 1.

How is Facing Diego Costa worse than Cronaldo? Costa has the same goal threat but higher work rate and better team play. Better dribbler and more skilful finisher too.

And I'd probably prefer to face Ibrah-Cavani over Costa-Villa as they are less mobile and less of a partnership.

Teams in order I would prefer to face.

Real Madrid
PSG
Barca
Atletico
Bayern

Really?

score a goal a game for a few months and you're immediately better than someone who's done the same for 5+ years..

Why would anyone be afraid of Arsenal? They've already lost to Man Utd, Napoli, Dortmund and City this season.

Really?

He's just trying to be an attention seeking football hipster.

Ibra Cavani has been a great partnership, plus they've got Lavezzi and Lucas Moura who are very mobile. PSG would tear Mertesacker and Koscliencly a new one.

Fuck off.

schalke-madrid
leverkusen-psg
bayern-arsenal
dortmund-zenit
city-barca when messi is fit then barca
united-piräus
chelsea-gala
milan-a.madrid

add schweinsteiger and robben in february

Not again. I wanted Milan. But chances to get Arsenal were 33% for all other teams around 17 I read somewhere, so iam not surprised.

dortmund is very lucky, like last year

well they escaped the group of death twice, they deserve some luck

i'm sure bayern are shaking in their boots at having to play arsenal again (a side they completed d!cked last year).

By dicked you mean drew with 3-3?

schalke 15-85 madrid  easy. Ronaldo will score 4 over two legs.
leverkusen 40-60 psg Close, but Leverkusen is shit atm
bayern 62-38 arsenal Arsenal are better this year than before
dortmund 75-25 zenit If all BVB players are fit, it should be no problem
city 50-50 barca  fancy City here, if they get a decent result in Barcelona
united 68-32 piräus Piräus isn't that bad, plus they sound similar to Matthäus
chelsea 85-15 gala  well chelsea isn't that good but Gala got absolutely dicked by Madrid
milan 35 - 65 a.madrid  madrid are the dark horse of this competition this year. milan are always better in europe, but now it's over i guess.

game was already dead after the beating you guys got in the first leg.

Anyway, i thought you hate Wenger? or do you like him now that you are top of the league?

Well I guess that's Barcelona out then!

They battered us in the 1st half, but we came out strong in the 2nd half, pulled 1 goal back and looked like scoring the equaliser before they broke forward on the counter and scored the 3rd.

They still wanted to win the 2nd leg but I don't think they played at 100%, they looked nervous after our 2nd goal and started wasting time. Gervinho nearly broke their hearts in the dying minutes.

They were the better team and deservedly went through. They are still the better team and I expect them to knock us out again. But we could shock them (see Juve-Gala), u never know.

So, how good are Atletico? Worth an outside bet? Pretty strong league performance only 9 goals conceded. Experience in europe through europa league...?!

look at the uefa club ranking

german clubs like leverkusen, schalke and dortmund will lose there weakest years, they should be all in pot 1 or 2 for the next draws, while juve, inter and milan will lose there strongest years

also roma and liverpool will be only in pot 4

psg and city could end as winners, because they will also lose there weakest year

Pretty damn good unfortunately. Simeone is really a wizard the way he has turned that lot around. They have a winners mentality these days which is very rare in Atletico. There is a real chance they are going to sign Juan Mata and if they do then good god who knows where they will end up.

Hope to see this tomorrow:

Szcz
Sagna Mert Kos Gibbs
Flamini Wilshere
Ox Ozil Rosicky
Giroud

If Poldi is to start instead of Ox, move Rosicky over to the right.

If you want that team with no Cazorla, are you sure you want Wilshere in deep midfield instead of swapping him with Ox? Think I probably agree with this piece pointing out Wilshere's failure to mature in his midfield role – wide right is where he does least damage.

With Arteta suspended and Ramsey out we inevitably lack defensive stability in the middle, and can't really say for sure Ox (against a team like this) would be a better option there.

I think realistically Cazorla will play and it is a toss-up between Rosicky and Alex for the final spot.

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy, Jesus Navas, Fernandinho, Toure, Kolarov, Silva, Negredo. Subs: Pantilimon, Richards, Lescott, Nasri, Dzeko, Javi Garcia, Jovetic.

Barcelona: Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Jordi Alba, Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas, Alexis, Messi, Iniesta. Subs: Pinto, Pedro, Neymar, Bartra, Song, Adriano, Sergi Roberto.

Looks horribly defensive from Citeh, but thats probably good.
