Bad draw but we can beat Chelsea if we do our homework and do our job on the pitch.

Damn Bayern and their luck.

Bayern would be even worst but still terrible matchup, don't understand all this confidence, our record against teams like Chelsea is awful in the last CL, we always struggled against teams that not play open football, because we already know that Conte will never play open against us, remember how bad was exposed Spain in the last Euro. This is a good thing because we know what expect us, the bad thing is that we are much worst than previous seasons.

Why is it a Bad draw!? Because we can lose? I watch champions league to see us again other European Top-sides and not some Europa League sides.

It's bad relative to the some of the other possible draws we could have got.

Anyways, Chelsea is a team which we have a poor record against, but we haven't played them in awhile so it will be interesting.

We absolutely have to improve on what we have been witnessing under EV if we are to beat them.

Good draw. Not the easiest but not the hardest opponent. I'm glad that we skipped Bayern. Chelsea should be a proper test for this team. Over two legs we're definitely favorites. I'm confident that we'll advance through to the quarter finals.

I'm excited to see the Real : PSG matchup. PSG is a slight favorite in this matchup from what I've seen so far. This could be their year. Real is very weak in defence this season and PSG could slice them apart with the likes of Neymar , Mbappe, Cavani who present a dangerous threat in the counter attack. I believe that PSG might advance here.

Other pairs aren't that interesting apart from Juventus and Tottenham. Juve are an experienced bunch and should capitalize on that. Tottenham don't have that much experience in the knockout stage as Juve do. Think Juve is advancing here.
Not agree, Real is clear favorite they have everything : experience, referees, no championship to play, better defence, better middlefield, our front line is better but it's not enough.

I would say let's wait till late January/February to see how our form goes. If we will not improve at all then we need to start worrying.

Anyway, I am glad that RM got PS6. In the end, i think i will be rooting for Paris, but i wouldn't mind RM knocking them out either :lol:

Carvajal is banned for the first match which will be a huge handicap for Real. I can see PSG scoring at least once in Bernaleo. This year Real is marely a shadow of last years one.

It will be very interesting :). It will also have one of the best duels... not Hazard vs. Messi, thats oldschool...........

But Raki vs. cesc : The Battle of the turtles. This might be the one time, where raki isnt the slowest player on the Pitch

l don't think Real has better midfield than Draxler, Rabiot and Verratti, also considering their best midfielder is 32 years old anymore.

My biggest worry is their referee support. After that, Kurzawa comes.

Good draw. Chelsea will be a tough opponent as usual but they're not that good this season. Plus, Conte sucks in the CL.

Real have an edge with referee and experience. As much as I hate Madrid, I'm definitely rooting for the Blancos.

I just hate Neymar and their crew.
