Absolutely predictable that it will be Bayern vs barca and Real Madrid vs Besiktas. Predictable.

Chelsea is a tough draw, they play the kind of counter attacking football that could beat us

This gets claimed every year.

More predictable than the draw is that some Barca fans pish the bed when it comes to draws.

Arsenal aren't a great side, but they're a relatively tough team to get drawn against when it comes to the R16. There are so many other crap teams that we could get paired with and Arsenal are one of the better English sides.

Arsenal are not a tough draw.

Just about any decent team has beaten them at a canter in knock out stages.

They have not been able to defend at that level. Barely any difference getting them and a decent Italian or German team.

If Real got Arsenal no one would claim it is a tough draw.

Barca never really got any of the properly weaker sides though.

We'll get Bayern or Chelsea, just watch. We never get easy draws in the R16.

So what? If we are to win the CL, we should be able to beat those at any time from February to June, since it's the most important part of the season. I'd rather see us out in the eight finals rather than semis for example.

Just wishful thinking that if we get a couple easy draws and sneak our way into the semis anything could happen.

To be fair, i don't want us to win a CL the way RM did in 2016, with opponents like Wolfsburg, a poor Man City and Rome. That was some Chelsea-esque type of campaign from them.

If however we will reach the semis and we will continue to play the way we are now, we will be woken up to reality just like in 2013, when Bayern trashed us.

Tough draw? Most teams would love to play Arsenal in R16 if they was in the CL. It's where they normally failed.

i'd actually prefer Bayern than Chelsea right now.. i dont fear Chelsea but its always a tough game when we play them

I fear no team as we can beat anyone.
