    I'd rather face PSG, Barcelona or Bayern than Inter or Atletico.

    Everybody knows what Atletico will bring and having just faced a similar team and having to endure nonsense for over 200 minutes, I don't fancy another tie like that. Inter are being slept on imo. They made the final last year and are destroying Serie A this year. PSG, Barcelona and Bayern all like to play and that increased space to play with will be better for us. If I had to do an order of preference:

    Dortmund/PSV, Barcelona, Bayern, PSG, Inter/Atletico, Real Madrid, Man City

    Would you also rather face city than those? Inter are dominating serie a but its not a great league at the moment. They only finished second to sociedad in the group as well

    I posted my order of preference and had City last. I’m sure you can work it out from there :laugh:

    We’ve had two really boring encounters with City already this season. We play them again in a few weeks. Don’t want another two games against them.

    Given our last 3 results against Arsenal I'd take that. A few years back, granted.

    I know Bayern get the ball down and try and play instead of putting so much energy into stopping their opposition from playing. I'm not saying what Porto did was wrong, it's just draining to watch as a fan.

    I said I just want to have fun in our first season back in and the teams I mentioned will be more entertaining games. Not necessarily likelier to go through but more fun.

    Out of any game in this round this was the most likely to go to extra time and it is

    That was a shocking penalty from lautauro. He's not a great player but he's usually very reliable eith penalties. Scored some important ones for Argentina

    Did enjoy the A.Madrid v Inter game.

    Awful misses by both sides to win it before we reached the lottery of spot kicks.

    Draw on Friday I do believe.
