So now our potential 2nd round opponents have been narrowed down to 6 teams from 3 countries.
Leverkusen and Bayern Munich from Germany.
Sevilla and Real Madrid from Spain.
Porto and Benfica from Portugal.
Due to the rule teams from the same country cannot draw each other in round 2, the odds lean towards a German or Spanish opponent slightly.
The draw is on Monday.
Why all the fuss about finishing top?
Germany, Spain or Portugal...

Crap record then, Ramboue.
Whether you win or not it's always special to play a club like Real Madrid in the CL. Especially when you don't play them all the time like you do Bayern and Barca.

Yep, they turn it on and off to finish us off at will too - so the wins aren't really much of a reflection either
Dunno, just feel like they're a bit softer defensively under Carlo and we're a bit more dogged this season, so it'd ve more on a contest

Was the 13/14 was thinking of result in that earlier comment.
That was the one they were in complete control after the first leg and didn't know quite how to approach the second.
Still, better hope you don't get them.

Carlo's having to teach their back four to defend in their own half rather than at the half way line, to be fair.

In normal circumstances I would fancy Arsenal to beat Sevilla - but over 2 legs they seem unstoppable.

Don't want bayern, but wouldn't mind a crack at Madrid. Doubt we'd them, to be fair, but I think we could give them a run for their money. Especially with us being at home in the 2nd leg.

The whole draw is a fix
We will get Bayern

We can beat every team. But I would prefer to avoid Bayern because it bores me off.

Any team apart the obvious 2 we should beat. Hopefully we get one of them. Think we will get Bayern though.

Why do we always our best to play in the CL every season??? is it not to win it??? and to win it we have to beat the very best. so dont understand all the negativity and disgusting loser's mentality here.
