English arrogance RE Leipzig in full effect I see.
CL/EL Knockout Draw | United draw Brugge | City vs Real & Liverpool vs Atletico
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Jose will walk over them. I'm not English.
exciting matches this round. Fireworks start early this season.
Actually really interesting draw, a lot of teams playing each other who we haven't seen to play for some time.
Atlético are thuggish and full of annoying players, constantly moaning, crowding the ref, time wasting, stuff like that. Simeone asks his team to win no matter the cost or the manner, so it'll be two annoying games. We should have too much quality for them, simple as, but they're tough opponents compared to the others which were possible before the draw (Atalanta, Lyon, even Dortmund).
That’s a great draw for Atalanta. Would be pretty cool if they make the quarter finals.
Going sticking my neck out there. No English teams will make the last 8
Annoying. Worst draw we could possibly get as far as I’m concerned.
We'll see about that. They'll have to step up big time for that to happen
Winners in bold? Very brave predictions.
Nice to see City not draw Shatka Donuts for a change.
Liverpool perfect draw against a team gets nosebleeds in the opposition half
All round some cracking game there.
C'mon Ole....get us in the CL please

It was a bit of a joke as I was expecting Dortmund-Spurs in last 16 last year to be a 50/50 tie. Spurs won about 4-0 on aggregate. I think if Spurs can press them well they can certainly score a goal or two v their defence.
Yes tough one for Liverpool. Atleti aren't as strong as last few seasons but they're still a nightmare to knock out over two legs.
Not really. But it's hard to argue that Spurs would have been better off being drawn against Barca, PSG or Juve.
Spurs will batter them.
My prediction is that Nagelsmann will wipe the floor with Mourinho. Already see Mourinhos dumb expression in his face when he realize it, and his later rant on the pressconference.
Sorry man, it's cold out there
Atletico will be far more annoyed with having drawn us.
Hasn't Nagelsmann struggled in europe so far? I know Leipzig won the group but they didn't get ahead of any big hitter, just benfica and Lyon. Will be a good test anyway.
Spurs will easily beat Leipzig. Their manager is inexperienced
I’m throwing it out there.....all 4 English teams to be knocked out.
I don't know why but I feel like City will have a historic performance vs Madrid. Like a 4-0 win at Bernabeu or something like that
He "struggled" in the EL with Hoffenheim. You can't compare that. His games in the CL with RB are the first ones. And they made it through the group stage.
What arrogance? Spurs will walk all over them.
Sorry, how has he struggled then? Or are you referring to the the previous season?
we got lucky with avoiding the limelight, so two quiet months for sarriball to gear up
English teams are pretty much the strongest teams in the competition. The familiarity breeds a sense of mediocrity.
Leipzig - Spurs will be fun
Yeah. Nobody will remember if/when I'm wrong but I'll look like Nostradamus if I'm correct

Not wiping the floor, but it will be a very even match. In one side RB Leipzig who is pretty much a very suffocating team when they are on attack mode, but when they need to step back (because you can't press the whole game) they are far from being a team that copes well with the defensive part of the game.

Can't call any of those ties. Fantastic draw.
Where are United?
Where are United?
Atletico are a very limited team with a big lack of offensive talent. Nothing to do with the best years of Simeone's team this past decade.
Liverpool have nothing to fear.
Odd this shout - Liverpool haven't had typically 'easy' draws in the past two seasons when getting through the knockout stages and to the two finals. There are occasional weaker opposition but that's going to happen when you play so many knockout games. City on the other hand...about time they got someone decent that isn't English.
Does our draw start in about 20 minutes? So realistically we should know who we get in about 4 hours?
Worst draw ?
You can play your reserve team in the PL now , leading upto the this game.
Borussia Dortmund v Paris Saint-Germain
Real Madrid v Manchester City
Atalanta v Valencia
Atlético Madrid v Liverpool
Chelsea v Bayern München
Olympique Lyonnais v Juventus
Tottenham Hotspur v RB Leipzig
Napoli v Barcelona
My predictions
Borussia and Leipzig with the upsets.

Leipzig are the exact type of team that cause Mou all ends of trouble.
He's struggled to cope with high energy pressing sides since he was at Real.
going with this acca for a punt
Dortmund-PSG
Real Madrid-Man City
Atalanta-Valencia
Atletico-Liverpool
Chelsea-Bayern
Lyon-Juventus
Tottenham-Leipzig
Napoli-Barca
Dortmund-PSG
Real Madrid-Man City
Atalanta-Valencia
Atletico-Liverpool

Napoli-Barca
This is the logical predictions with a few exceptions. But knockout games bring a lot of unpredictable events. Real Madrid is the best example of that: playing poorly on league games while winning 3 UCL titles in a row.
