Come on the Arsenal! (Even tho we have no attack left)
As a Benfica supporter, I’m just happy to be here, what with all the injuries the team has. And if we can manage to actually have a shot at getting past Barcelona, I just hope we don’t throw it away this time.
Lots of good matchups, interested in Dortmund v Lille, Leverkusen v Bayern yet again and the Madrid Classico.
Some interesting matchups there. I’d be rooting for an underdog to do it this year!
Which underdog do you think is most likely? Leverkusen or Arsenal maybe?
Tricky. If Arsenal get past PSV then they have one of the Madrids which isn’t easy by any stretch! Leverkusen seem to have an easier route but got Bayern first so who knows!!
What do you reckon?
I think Leverkusen will feel confident against Bayern. How they will fare against opponents like Inter and Barça I’m not all that sure. More confident than Arsenal would feel against Real Madrid though, that’s for sure.
Liverpool vs Real Madrid in the semi would be fun.
I would much rather have Liverpool vs PSV. Fun with the underdogs, and I have a feeling the other three would beat us in our current form
I mostly just enjoy seeing the Liverpool fans having a go at Real Madrid. Having Liverpool fans/half of r/soccer discover how dirty Real Madrid’s defence is was cathartic.
In terms of underdogs, seeing Aston Villa reach far would be fun. Based on your username, I’ll assume you’d rather have Liverpool reach far though :)
Pure coincidence that the English and German clubs are grouped together? Lol, it seems setup for a classico final.
Liverpool seems to have the hardest draw, PSG, then Villa, then likely Real.
Personally, I’m wishing for a redo of the 82 final, we’ve beat them once already this season.
It is interesting it shook out that way, will make things exciting as I don’t think both of Barca and RM will make it all the way to the final.
Who do you think will beat both? Both of them going out before the semis ideally would really open up the last 16.
I could see PSG or Liverpool giving RM a run for their money. And could see Barca struggling against Lille and Inter for sure.
