Barca v Napoli in the Europa draw. Nice. Maradona will be there in spirit!

 

Yeah I’m fine with the draw, just not the cock up.

 

They’re doing the redraw at 2pm. Can’t wait for the same exact draw

 

Hate this match up so much, but good for Maradona’s memory haha

 

Chelsea vs Bayern incoming in that re-draw. Useless!

 

Fairly embarrassing reaction from Real.

 

So the redraw will pair man United and psg with the worst opponents in hopes that they meet in the round of 8 I guess

 

what did they do?

 

they're saying it's scandalous that it's being withdrawn and apparently Perez sent a letter to the EU??

 

Salzburg instead of Atleti for us.

 

Hahaha, Chelsea drew LOSC again!

 

United have drawn Atleti - better than getting PSG that's for sure

 

Atleti get the result they wanted... but do they really want to face Ronaldo? Hasn't gone well for them in the past, ahem.

 

PSG vs Real Madrid looooool

 

I understand the United fans saying they’d rather PSG than Atletico, but i’m glad to avoid that kind of firepower no matter how up and down their form has been this year. We’ve also faced them in the knockouts and then the group stage the last couple of years so give me the new opponent any day.

 

Paris Saint Germain (L) - Real Madrid (L)
RB Salzburg (L) - FC Bayern (W)
Sporting CP (L) - Manchester City (N)
Benfica (W) - Ajax (N)
Chelsea (N) - Lille (N)
Atletico Madrid (W) - Manchester United (W)
Villarreal (W) - Juve (N)
Inter (L) - Liverpool (N)

New draw with who I think lost upon the re-draw, who was neutral, and who won a more favorable draw.

 

Ronaldo has that whole club on strings, he will haunt them once again

 

Love seeing a draw take place in the Rd of 16 between two stronger sides that might expected to make the final. Really don't know who has the stronger side. Real Madrid or PSG?

 

Predictions

Madrid
Bayern
City
Ajax
Chelsea
???? (United 50.5% faves in my mind, but Simeone in the knockouts is a different breed)
Villareal
Liverpool

 

Have you watched Madrid in the last month? They're flying in a way I've not seen in quite a few years. Messi and Mbappe finally have a connection (no surprise with Neymar out that both of them improved, but that's a different combo) over the last month, but Madrid can absolutely BOSS that PSG midfield.

 

PSG
Bayern
City
Ajax
Chelsea
Atletico
Villarreal
Liverpool

 

I'd prefer PSG in a purely sporting context, but I just hate playing them. We've played them so often over the last few years.

 

I honestly have not watch a single RM highlight this season lol
