Who cares? Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich will be waiting for the winner. At least one will go out now. And the other will be kicked out by one of the above. Be thankful there's no chance of City vs Liverpool final. That was starting to become a bit worrying.The good news - one of City or Liverpool are definitely going out
The bad news - one of City or Liverpool are definitely going through to the semis
UEFA Champions League Quarter-final Draw | Man City v Liverpool
- Thread starter Sandyman
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

It would be better for Liverpool to be playing at home second though, you'll need to go for them in the first leg and take some kind of lead to the EtihadUs vs City is a great match for the neutral in my opinion. Maybe not in terms of the names on show or perceived stature, but for pure attacking football, it should be a lot of fun.
I actually like the draw
Not possible in the last 16. Same country.
Come on man. Just poor Atletico faced Real and Barca 3 times in the quarter-final.

Seriously?! No Utd fan ever wants Liverpool near a CL final. City are plastic no one cares.
Teams from the same country can’t draw each other in the last 16.
No. They have return leg on Tuesday, so can't play on Sunday.
Oh yeah, in quarters then.
If we can take a lead to the Etihad I fancy us.
What a shitty draw. This feels like an FA Cup game to be honest.
Also interesting how Roma and Sevilla are "reserved" for certain teams.

You sound confident, have you seen City play this season? City would start as favorites against any of Barcelona/Madrid/Bayern or Juventus.
If Liverpool manage to get past City, that's a different story, there's always that risk of them bottling it in defense.
Gonna admit, I'd love Liverpool to batter them. Also Roma vs Barca
Liverpool v City in the CL quarters and you have not decided yet ! It's a no brainer , dont want Liverpool anywhere near the CL Final, dont want City there either but the lesser of 2 evils is a City win.
I'm putting money on Liverpool, Real, Bayern, Barca all going through. I think Liverpool will win on away goals or something.
clear as day. Liverpool are more likely to bottle it somehow in the semi final or final though, but cant take the risk at that stage.
My thoughts, too. This is the tie I most wanted to see so I'm a happy chappy.
I don't think it'd be THAT surprising. City are favourites but Liverpool have had their number over recent years.
Lovely draw. Gets rid of one of the diseases in this round and hopefully Real/Barca/Bayern take care of the other in the following rounds.
When are the games to be played?
City have no history at this level in this competition and will start this tie at Anfield behind Liverpool. Real have the quality edge over Juventus but over two legs we may have a few chances to exploit their momentary lapses. Barca and Bayern should progress quite comfortably though.
The only tie where 2 teams are almost equal in that tie are City and Liverpool (City are a better team obviously, but Liverpool can progress in 2 games with their style against City's style).
The rest is pretty much decided. Dont think Juve have a real chance against Real, they are not as good this year i feel and Real are too good at this stage of the CL.

Leipzig Marseille

Atletico Sporting

You won't have to worry about that when Ronnie knocks 3 past you on your way out.
So Liverpool out this round and then City out in the next one when they come up against the big clubs.
Can you imagine the commentary/punditry on this one? Someone should do a counter on how many times they'll say the two best teams in England.
Can't wait for that Liverpool City tie.
Semi-finals should be:
Bayern
Barca
City
Real
3 of Pep's teams.

Well they are the best 4 teams in Europe at the moment.
Good idea. Pundits get so much shit. For a change it´s a nice idea to count how often they say something that is indeed correct.
They will draw semi final today or on another day again?
Both Liverpool and City have derby games in between their games in the Champions League.
What's more, they play Wednesday-Tuesday, so they have six days between both legs (and derbies, vs. Everton and vs. United, at the weekend).
That's nice for us and Everton.

Barcelona vs Roma
Sevilla vs Bayern
Juventus vs Real Madrid
Liverpool vs Manchester City
Predicted winners in bold. Juventus are pretty good in two legged ties under Allegri. They must win the first leg though.

It may not have happened, but if we had gone through we likely would have got Roma again haha.
Can see Liverpool being right up for that game and possibly turning them over. Probably the worst draw for City tbh.

"Those famous European nights at Anfield..."
"But City are creating their own history!"
"Klopp is a funny guy who enhances our lives..."
"But Pep has better clothes!"
"Pogba's a waste of space."
I generally agree. As a counterpoint though, City are arguably better-equipped to progress beyond the semi-final, should they get there, than Liverpool, who'd likely struggle vs one of the big boys...
Anyway, not worth worrying about!
What an absolutely terrible draw. The two teams I hate got the easiest opponents and the teams I want to progress (Juve and Real) face each other.
City will progress with +5 GD over the two legs.
Liverpool will knock out City.
Barcelona vs Bayern final.
I honestly believe we would've beaten Bayern.

You wouldn't have said that in September, with Ancelotti coaching Bayern... it's funny how one coach can actually make the difference.
Strangely I think I am hoping for Liverpool to beat City....
I think if City were in the last 4 they would stand a great chance of winning the Cup, but I think (hope) if Liverpool are in the last 4 they will crumble when faced with a Barca or Real...!!
Just great news that one of them will definitely be knocked out in the Quarters..

"This is a fantastic advert for Premier League football"
Annoyingly - it most probably will be.
I'm imagining something along the lines of Gary Lineker going
"Well let's see going into the kick off what the two best teams in England have to offer"
Then someone will say "hang on Gary, Spurs are doing well too"
And he'll say "yeah that's true, and don't forget Chelsea! I love Kante and put him in my all time premier league xi for some reason"
Then someone will lean right into a mic and whisper "Mourinho is a shithead" and the match will start.
Maybe throw in a joke about how it's a good job we're out, because both teams are far superior to us.
