Champions League Round of 16

Juanito was a right prick , a hero of the Real ultras. He probably played for Spain vs Norn Iron in 1982.

You donā€™t like to hear about anybody being killed in a car crash but I will admit to being more upset when Laurie Cunningham and Daphne in Neighbours were killed than Juanito.

Poor Des was never the same

Great draw for the Italian teams.

Pep got the draw he dreaded

I must nip over to the Bridge for the second leg to see Kroos, Modric and Camavinga in the flesh.

Napoli are going all the way.

Yeah very tough draw for them. Iā€™d have had Man City, Bayern, Real and Chelsea as the four most likely victors and theyā€™ve all drawn each other.

Iā€™d love to see Napoli win it. Although the recent tradition for those type of teams is semi-finalists and then stripped for parts like Monaco 2017 and Ajax 2019.

Itā€™s after opening up for them to get to the final. Love to see them do it.

Pity the draw Denies us a potentially all Italian final.

Benfica hugely improved on last season. Wonder what brought that about?

They were quarter-finalists last season too mate. They were just unfortunate to run into a crack Liverpool side.

Ideal. Napoli are going to do it if the celebrations arenā€™t too wild when they win the league. The Camorra will be purring.

Itā€™ll be Real again.

Heā€™ll stuff em

Napoli should be making the final with that draw.

Think Benfica might beat Inter Milan.

Football is weird. Chelsea and Bayern Munich have both been deeply unimpressive this season butā€¦cup football.

If there was one draw that Bayern Munich wanted to wake them out of their slumber, it was ā€œManchester Cityā€. The Pep factor, Cancelo, SanĆ©, ManĆ©. Phonsie Davies is one of the best players in the world.

Same with Chelsea and Real Madrid. Chelsea should have beaten them last year and did the year before, and have shown minor signs of an awakening.

UEFA fucking hate Chelsea and Man City

Is the feeling not mutual? Uefa and the traditional clubs hate Johnny upstart

The Kinahans are widely hated too.

They do but at the same time City have been beaten by Monaco, a developing Liverpool, Spurs, Lyon, Chelsea and a supposedly inferior Real Madrid side so Iā€™m not sure they can have too many complaints about the previous draws.

Bayern, Juve, Madrid are mad to take them out, old money, big sway with uefa too
