UEFA want Messi v Ronaldo. Said ages ago we would draw PSG once again. Champions League draw is manipulated to suit what they want to see in the final.
Champions League Round of 16 (15th Feb - 16th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
That's an absolute embarrassment from UEFA.
They've fecked up and as a result they've not produced a fair draw. We weren't given a chance to draw one of the teams (Atletico) because they forgot to put us in the pot. Surely that calls for a redraw?

I'm actually quite excited. It's 2 months away, so plenty of time to train and gel in the new system. We will have to start having the right mentality and stop fearing and start trying to beat big teams. The fact that we are minnows in this gets rid of the pressure factor. More than Messi vs Ronado, I'm looking forward to Poch vs RR.
Well no, its a 1 in 5 chance since we weren't added to atletico pot. A farce at this level
Feck off. Seriously just feck off with that draw.
Cannot be arsed with PSG. I don't even rate them all that much at all but they will have enough to see us off over the two legs if we play anything like against the likes of Norwich.

You do know our last 5 R16 draws have been Bayern, Barca, Atletico and PSG x2?
Yep. Otherwise it's an obvious fix.
Possibly the most underwhelming Ronaldo vs Messi fixture, since, imo, both teams are "Good" at best.
Great banter.
It wasn't a 1 in 6 chance, they forgot to put us in the draw for Atletico
Manchester City, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Ajax, Bayern, Juventus, Chelsea, Paris SG in the QF imho
1 in 5 chance when they didn't put us in against Atletico
As soon as we drew Villarreal, the whole draw should have redone
PSG are a bobblehead on legs made of ricepaper, they got nothing if the trio up top are having problems.
Such a nice draw for the fans with no irregularities, nothing suspect about this what so ever.

So predictable. Can't even be surprised anymore.
Did anyone actually see the draw? We were left out of the A Madrid part of the draw?
Soo, how are Atletico doing this season?
They also didn’t allow Lille to be drawn against Sporting for some unknown reason. Sporting’s ball came out and it was only Juve and us remaining, with a red circle next to Lille. Even though Lille weren’t drawn yet, weren’t Sporting’s group, and are not from Sporting’s country. Unbelievable.
Exactly. I hope United demand a redraw or withdraw. It's a joke. We could've got athletico Madrid
We could literally go out of the FA Cup and CL at first hurdle. We are such an unlucky team with Cup draws, becoming almost farcical at this point.
Hopefully we get a midfielder in January window.

How come we draw Champions League opponents and the other British clubs get Europa League ties?
Of course its fixed. This, along with what happened in the F1 yesterday has just put me off sports.
Everyone knew we would get PSG while all the other teams get a free ride.
They're shit.
If they still have Poch in charge, we'll beat them. If they bring Zidane in, I'm not as confident but if their front 3 refuse to defend then we'll be fine.
Our performances in the group stage were shitty I wouldn't have held out much hope once we were drawn with a decent side, it just happens to be one round earlier than it could have been. You have to play these sides eventually.
We've had our fair share of easy draws in the champions league as well. Just look at our group this year.
Incompetence is definitely the word. It was far too blatant an error for it to be considered rigged. However, they should have stopped the draw after realising their mistake. Yet they've persisted with it and we are supposed to just accept it?
I don't think it was intentional but they fecked it up and they can't possibly go ahead with this. They added United instead of another team for Villareal, and Didn't add United for AM. This impacted everyone.
What kind of mess up was that? Should never had been in the bowl for Villarreal. I demand a re draw.It wasn't a 1 in 6 chance, they forgot to put us in the draw for Atletico
The hope would be that by the time we got to play one of the good sides we'd have had time to implement a good system.
I’m actually looking forward to it. Honestly don’t think we have anything to fear. I really want revenge for last season as well
Had Lille got Sporting, Chelsea's only two options would have been Juventus who were in the same group and Manchester United. So that's actually fair.
That was down to United not being able to draw Chelsea, Chelsea not being able to draw Juventus, Lille not being able to draw PSG.
Lille couldn’t face PSG explains that.
It was too obvious.
This is probably the last Messi vs Ronaldo, isn't happening in WC since Ronaldo might miss next WC.
The mix up will surely mean the whole thing will have to be redone. As soon as they put all 7 teams in the pot to play Villareal it should have been paused. Idiots

I hope we ask questions. How can that be allowed to stand if they ballsed it up?
Sickening media stories about Messi vs Ronaldo and everyone not giving respect to the new generation Mbeppe who's PSG's best player and better this season.
