City. PSG. Chelsea. Real.

It could hardly have been worse for United supporters(with the sole exception of Liverpool beating Real, obviously), that's for sure. But surely even neutrals must dislike seeing all these sugar daddy clubs make it so far?

Oh well, guess I'm "rooting" for Real this year.

Spain vs Russia. Qatar v UAE.

Hopefully Spain take the title.

Are you serious? I could think of one team that would make that quartet infinitely worse!

Easily, if Liverpool had advanced.

Could be a lot worse. Personally a set of semis containing Liverpool, Bayern, PSG and Barca would be the worst for me.

It ain't pretty.

I suppose we should support Real Madrid?

Anyone but City. Don't care who. Simple, very simple.
They do stick out like a sore thumb, but that's primarily from the perspective of a United supporter. PSG are probably worse for neutrals. They are essentially a less likeable version of City.

Could be much worse!
No Liverpool is the only thing that really matters.

Even if City win, no-one cares as we all know it's oil illegitimacy.

However, ideally Real or at worst PSG can stop them.

However, Liverpool not rescuing their appalling season is the big win.

Which of these clubs has the biggest pull in terms of signing players?

Anyone but Madrid. PSG winning it would be hilarious. Mainly cause then the chances of Neymar and Mbappe signing new deals are practically zero. Won the CL, so whats the reason to stay?

Obertans #1 fan.
What on Earth is wrong with people acting like this isn’t horrendous for the sport?

Obviously as United fans we have biases, but the idea of oil money ruining football is everywhere. It’s a massive shame what is happening to the sport.

It could have been a good chance for Manutd to reach the semi-finals, honestly. Real Madrid is nothing special, and we would have beaten Liverpool, who have been poor all season. Only ourselves to blame, though.

I'd probably prefer Chelsea or PSG myself. Real Madrid has won it too much, and love a good dive.

Most important thing is Liverpool are out.
Only real 'proper' club left are Madrid and so by default I will not be counting the wins of the other three.

Agreed. I don’t want Pool to win things no matter what because I genuinely can’t stand them as they’re our rivals and a club with actual tradition and history. With City, I don’t like them because they’re our local rivals, but when they win, I’m only annoyed because it’s not us. No one cares if City wins.

Of course, the order is still Real > PSG > Chelsea > City, but again, only because we play a derby against them.

The most sickening CL semi finalists would consist of Liverpool cloning themselves 3 times.

Even taking our rivalry the facts it’s all oil clubs is unsurprising and sad at the same time. Really have to hope covid doesn’t make this a permanent thing.
