I assume this should be finished by Friday.

I'll check back in then to see who Newcastle got.

 

[Siorac]

'John, what were your most memorable games in the group stages?'

Terry proceeds to talk about a last 16 clash against Barcelona. Well done.

 

[Remember the geese]

I assume after Van Dijk's arrogance yesterday, Liverpool are one of the seeded teams for this.

 

[2 man midfield]

I wouldn’t fancy us against any of those seeded teams, other than maybe Sociedad.

 

[FootballHQ]

Porto missing Liverpool so much they get Arsenal instead.

 

[awop]

I'll take that !

 

[wr8_utd]

Arsenal's Europa League campaign continues after PSV, Sevilla and Lens.

 

[wr8_utd]

Barca Napoli
PSG Sociedad

 

[Bole Top]

Arsenal - Kopenhagen
Atletico - Lazio
Barcelona - PSV
Bayern - Inter
Dortmund - Porto
City - Napoli
Real - Leipzig

[wr8_utd]

Inter Atleti will be super fun!

 

[wr8_utd]

PSV vs Dortmund and Bayern vs Lazio

 

[FootballHQ]

Man. City going to get Copenhagen aren't they?!

Or not....

Or they did!

 

[wr8_utd]

City Copehagen and Madrid Leipzig.

 

[Samid]

Cheats getting a bye thanks to us. Cheers ETH and Onana.

 

[awop]

Arteta or Conceição getting booked is printing money

 

[Fr. Todd Unctious]

Obligatory handy draw for Citeh

 

[wr8_utd]

Arsenal vs Porto
City vs Copenhagen
Madrid vs Leipzig
PSV vs Dortmund
Inter vs Atleti
Barca vs Napoli
PSG vs Sociedad
Bayern vs Lazio

Apart from the Barca and Atleti ties, they're all rather rubbish. This is a very underwhelming year in the CL.

 

[McGrathsipan]

Of course

 

[Martin(6)Buchan]

Not surpised

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Some rubbish ties compared to past years in the round of 16.

 

[Deco10Legend]

Arteta or Conceição getting booked is printing money

That match up we will win, Arteta is no match for Conceição’s antics

 

[Remember the geese]

Absolute snoozefest these ties.

 

[GatoLoco]

Arsenal vs Porto
City vs Copenhagen
Madrid vs Leipzig
PSV vs Dortmund
Inter vs Atleti
Barca vs Napoli
PSG vs Sociedad
Bayern vs Lazio

Apart from the Barca and Atleti ties, they're all rather rubbish. This is a very underwhelming year in the CL.

Napoli are not particularly strong this season imo. Atletico vs Inter will be the closest one.

If all favorites go through it will be a very tough round in quarters.

 

[Scandi Red]

I think Real Sociedad will beat PSG.

 

[Rojofiam]

Inter Atleti will be super fun!

ISIS vs Al-Qaeda

 

[Paula]

bah, bit boring i would say.

Arsenal vs Porto -> 75% Arsenal
City vs Copenhagen - > 95% City
Madrid vs Leipzig -> 80% Madrid
PSV vs Dortmund -> 65% Dortmund
Inter vs Atleti -> 55% Atleti
Barca vs Napoli -> 50/50 for me to be honest
PSG vs Sociedad -> PSG 65%
Bayern vs Lazio -> Bayern 80%

Barca could bottle it currently.
Also Inter vs Atleti could be interesting.
Not sure what to think about PSG vs Sociedad, but PSG got very very lucky.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Last 8 round should be fun

 

[Rojofiam]

Arsenal, Bayern and City will qualify comfortably.

Napoli will beat Barcelona IMO

Sociedad have a decent chance vs PSG

Inter will advance vs Atletico IMO but it will be 2 low scoring games with terrorist football

Dortmund have to go through but PSV are playing good football with promising youngsters and are in good form, can see this one being really close like PSG - Sociedad

Madrid will go through as well because individual quality always bails them out in the CL, I think Leipzig can put in a decent performance, not saying they will be the better team, but I don't think they'll get dominated, it very likely won't be enough either way.

 

[Santos J]

Quite a boring draw but should make for some good games in the quarters

 

[wr8_utd]

Napoli are not particularly strong this season imo. Atletico vs Inter will be the closest one.

If all favorites go through it will be a very tough round in quarters.

Barca aren't great either which should make the tie fun. Hopefully both of them pick up form by February though.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Kobenhaven will crush City

 

[wr8_utd]

Arsenal, Bayern and City will qualify comfortably.

Haven't watched much of Atleti in 2023, I presume? They play anything but "terrorist football" and are one of the most fun teams to watch going forward.

I think PSG - Sociedad will be a good one.

 

[NYAS]

What was the reason Copenhagen couldn’t draw Real? And why did Bayern get Lazio automatically at that point of the draw?

 

[nmm85]

We're rooting for all the English teams aren't we? I think we need as many coefficient points as possible to help the top 5 qualifying for next season. I think we're currently just behind Italy?

 

[Madridista2000]

What was the reason Copenhagen couldn’t draw Real? And why did Bayern get Lazio automatically at that point of the draw?

Bayern was in same group as Copenhagen and is from same country as Leipzig.

City was in same group as Leipzig

 

[SER19]

The weakest last 16 I can ever remember in a Cl. City will walk this.

 

[BayernFan87]

Good draw for Bayern and Dortmund. I also think Leipzig isnt without a chance against Real.

The rest of the draw is also good.
Last year we had too many games in the round of 16 that also could have been a CL semi final or on the other hand an EL group phase game.
