The latter will play away first. So quite a few of those ties won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 17, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted December 17, 2018 After looking at that list I'd really fancy a Bayern meeting too. They are in terrible shape right now so we could potentially have a good game there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMike Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Pleased with that. A team we've not played for ages and they're not exactly hitting the levels they were a couple of years ago. Things could change come February of course but you have to fancy us in this tie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 This is the point in time where my interest in the UCL really peaks. I forgot how boring and one sided the groups were.

UNORTHODOX Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Interesting draw, the last time we played Bayern in a competitive game was the UEFA super cup final in 2001 i think. I was just a kid then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Pencil in the day after the second leg for Mourinhos sacking. Becomes officially much cheaper to fuck him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Schalke 04 v Manchester City On the face of it, this looks like an easy draw for Man City and more so with the return leg being at The Etihad where if an error were to occur, you'd feel that it could be fixed with all due respects to Schalke fans. Atlético Madrid v Juventus This is the clash of the round in my opinion. Atleti have by no means been firing on all cylinders this season, but they have got one of the best squads on the continent with a multitude of variations to choose from so as to mix it up. Without wanting to hit Diego Simeone with a hard stick, he has no excuses this year where the quality of his squad is concerned and needs to prove he can at least go right to the end in all of this season's main competitions. Manchester United v Paris Saint-Germain I dislike Jose Mourinho, but I despise PSG which means I hope and wish for United to really do one over on the Parisian football club. On paper it should be a competitive clash, but where football is concerned United have absolutely no chance whatsoever in this tie for me. Tottenham Hotspur v Borussia Dortmund For me this is a tough call. BvB are having a very good season and have witnessed a rebirth, while nobody can discount Spurs from being able to compete due to the players and coach they have. As things stand right now, I couldn't really predict this one at all and even more so with the return leg being in Dortmund, Olympique Lyonnais v FC Barcelona On paper this doesn't look like the most difficult tie Barça could've been drawn, but as was seen last season when they drew Roma in the quarter-finals and even managed a 4-1 Camp Nou victory, complacency is this particular Barcelona's biggest affliction as has even been seen this season in La Liga. Barça are really hungry to perform in this season's Champions League and I expect progression to be comfortable although I wouldn't be surprised if the Spanish club were made to suffer against a very decent Lyon side. AS Roma v FC Porto AS Roma had a brilliant Champions League campaign last season where they even knocked out one of the tournament favourites in the shape of Barcelona. They are progressing again and even though Porto have looked really balanced this season, I would have Roma as slight favourites in this one. But then again FC Porto have one of Europe's best home records historically and the fact the return leg is at the Estádio do Dragão, I wouldn't be surprised at all with Porto going through. It's a tough one to call. Ajax v Real Madrid CF Ajax are rejuvenated as has been witnessed over the past 3 years with great progression. Plus they have those two players in the shape of De Ligt and De Jong that with everything else in that side I wouldn't be surprised if they eliminate Real Madrid in this tie. Infact as things stand right now, Ajax are the superior side on all fronts... If the game were to be played today Ajax would be the overwhelming favourites. Liverpool v Bayern Munich The names of both clubs spells CLASSIC in capitals. Both with legendary historical significance in Europe's biggest club competition, but nobody can deny that Bayern don't exactly exude confidence these days while Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool offer the total opposite in terms of sensations. There is no doubt that as things stand right now Liverpool seem to be big favourites but weight of history and club statuses dictates that this is no foregone conclusion and the fact the return leg is at the Allianz Arena for me says that we could actually have a classic encounter on our hands.

Liverpool/Napoli/PSG in their group. Ajax/Bayern battling it out on the final day for top spot. Tottenham and Inter battling it for qualification. Dortmund and Atletico finishing equal in their group. Real made it more difficult than expected in their group given they lost to CSKA twice.
