Rick Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund Porto v Chelsea Bayern Munich v Paris Saint Germain Real Madrid v Liverpool Relatively happy with that. City didn’t get that easy draw after all. If they do get past Dortmund, they will have Bayern or PSG waiting for them . Think the Semi’s will be Dortmund V Bayern Chelsea v Liverpool
Smiley Culture Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 That City, Dortmund, Bayern, PSG side of the draw is quality. The other side, meh.

As much as I'd love to see us win #7 I can't see us getting past Real Madrid, I fancy them to make the final from our half of the draw. The other half of the draw looks interesting with Bayern V PSG. I see Citeh getting past Dortmund easily, but then doing their annual euro-choke in the semi against Bayern.

If I was picking a favourite from our side of the draw it'd be Chelsea
God is Haaland Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Teams that will advance: City, Chelsea, Real Madrid Bayern - PSG will be decided by luck, injuries or whoever will be the better team that day.

Trust the the two German sides to be drawn against arguably the best two other teams left in the competition. PSG and Man City after Bayern, where probably the two teams that no one wanted to be drawn against.

Yeah, you should definitely advance against Porto, especially given the upturn in performances that we have seen from Chelsea recently. You can't underestimate Porto, but I wouldn't class them any better than Atletico Madrid for example and we saw how well Chelsea did against the Spanish side.

If I was picking a favourite from our side of the draw it'd be Chelsea I'm not saying that we have no chance against Real, my main concern obviously is our defence. If anything I think we might match up a bit better than Chelsea against them.

Liverpool will get past Real Madrid mate, I am very sure of that. Chelsea are the likeliest to advance out of all the teams. City against Dortmund should see plenty of goals, but City will probably advance, as Dortmund's defence can be a real issue at times. While Bayern against PSG is a repeat of last years final come early, I still think Bayern will go through, unless they have an unexpected injury crisis.

I won't take anything for granted at this stage but if we can keep up the levels of performance we have been putting in since Tuchel took over then we have every chance of going through.. I didn't expect us to get past Atletico over the two legs but they surprised me a bit to be honest, Tuchel is doing a really good job with the side at the moment so anything else would be a bonus..

Yeah, you can't underestimate any team at this stage, but Porto are arguably the least strong side on paper, out of all the remaining sides. Chelsea have been playing excellently since the turn of the year and I do fully expect them to get past Porto, if they play to the standards that we have seen them perform at recently. Tuchel seems to be getting the best out of his players, which is a very promising sign.

Mpache Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I knew Zagreb would draw Villareal. Hope they get the job done again. They deserved a lot more last year in the CL.

There's no way Dortmund will beat City, even with luck. And contrary to Bayern - PSG, we know who'll be the better team between City-Dortmund. Even on a good day Dortmund can't beat City on a bad day. This won't change at least until next summer where we have an extensive preparation and hopefully learn how to counter, press and pass under pressure again.

And let’s not talk of this City side as if they are some legendary football team. They can be gotten at, as we have seen time and time again when they come up against a quality attack who actually turn up to give them a game. Dortmund have all the attacking ability to really stretch City, and I just hope they use it and they don’t roll over and let City tickle their bellies.
El Profesor Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 One factor in that Real Madrid-Liverpool draw is that there is a El Clásico in between the two matches. Zidane won't be able to give his players a breather.

PSG have it served to them on a silver plate. They are literally the most inept, handheld club if they don't win this comfortably.
