Last 16 - Copenhagen
Quarter-finals: Molde / Warsaw
Semi-final: Rapid Vienna?

Potentially.

Madness, that is as easy as it gets. Probably Fiorentina in the final and they absolutely love losing the final of this competitin

Chelsea have spent more than all the other teams in the entire tournament put together. Anything other than winning this with ease would be rank failure

You should absolutely walk that, I can’t believe some of the sides in that last 16 - Pafos and Borac would struggle in League 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So would Molde, I watched both their games against Shamrock Rovers and if it wasn't for a keeper howler they would be out already.
League 1 is about right.

Losing to Fiorentina wouldn't be a rank failure, they've been a very solid team for years now. Agree about the rest though, zero excuses if we don't at least make the final.

The standard of the teams in it this year is so bad. Any PL team would automatically be the favourites to win it.

Don't forget you dilettantes out there, if we do win it, we would be the first British team to to have won every European competition !
OK, Strike7,Baz and Custardpies !..... just saying

Fair enough, this comp is shiete though, you probably won’t have to go full strength until the final and even then you could probably get away with resting a couple.

I struggle to see the long term appeal of this competition, I know it gives smaller teams more games in Europe, but faaaack me, I know Chelsea fans who couldn’t be bothered to watch some of the group games

Good luck on that one That said you are the resource equivalent of a pro mma fighter joining an u der 10’s boxing tournament

Remove the PL teams? Then it at least has some competitive integrity, but it will make it a European version of that League 1 & 2 trophy not a single person on earth cares about

In all honesty though, the way we have been playing recently, It would not surprise me at all if we didn't make the final, let alone win it !

Given how the draws lined up, not getting to the Final of this will be every bit as bad as Benitez messing up the League Cup (when the route was Leeds, Swansea & Bradford) and Club World Cup. Marseca's position will have to come into question.

Losing the final OK, one off game (especially if it's Fiorentina) anything can happen, but getting to the Final is non-negotiable.
