Boring draws.

Nothing that I'm interested in watching other than Barça.

Very boring indeed. You can definitely expect one of Bayern/RM to go to the finals now. There is no way they will meet eachother in the Semis and both sides are capable of beating PSG/ Man City.


It's a tough draw for us. I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I'm not sure if we can get the CL trophy this year. Repeating it is extremely difficult. Repeating it with a tough draw is nearly impossible. Repeating it with a tough La Liga schedule is surely impossible.

It will take an incredible effort from our team to win. If we beat Atletico then we are surely getting RM/Bayern. If we get RM I will be very happy but at the same time I will hate to play Bayern in just a one-legged tie if we meet in the finals. We can beat Bayern in 2 legs but I'm not sure about one leg. Too many factors that are critical in a one legged tie, mainly luck.

6 Ballons for Messi

but what if he wins 7??
Meh, it's not that bad.
Atletico is harmless, even under tata when he had our players sleeping on the pitch the whole tie was decided by 1 goal only.
I predict an aggregate of 6-1 or something similar.

And the schedule is not that bad, we only need to beat villareal, we can afford a draw against real and valencia under neville is a running joke atm.

Just like you wouldn't be surprised with Barça beating Arsenal 10-0? 6-1 vs Atletico is a pipe dream. This will be very close.

we're going to beat atletico over 2 legs for sure, might even beat them in both legs, but no way we are putting 6 past them in 2 games. simeone's defensive setup is second to none.

Lol, 6-1.... That would be half of what they've conceded in the league so far in just two games. I think a lot of people here are too pessimistic right now, but that's a bit too optimistic even for me.

Disappointing to see most neutrals predicting Atleti to win the tie..based on their defense

Yup, this atleti gave psv 3 clear cut chances in the game in madrid alone and people act like our team that has demolished them in these 2 years will have trouble scoring. :coffee:

Imagine going to a pk shootout too. It's possible, as I think they will park a spacebus in both legs.

Definitely. It'll be ugly but in principle you have to imagine referees won't let them get away with what they do in the Primera

It's a draining tie, no question but I do like the performances of Lucho's Barca against Atletico - we have their number, that mental edge is huge
