Morning, morning, morning. Today we learn who : 1. the PL clubs draw in the CL last 16 (1st leg at home for Spurs as we finished 2nd in our group) 2. our lovely London neighbours draw in the Emmerdale League (I recommend you wait for the highlights clip for this one - if you actually care ) . To summarise #1, Spurs will be playing one of the following : Dortmund / PSG / Porto / Madrid / Munich / Juventus.
Due to start at 11am GMT (so will actually start at around 11:15) - follow live here (need an account) https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2019/draws/round=2000981/
In order of preference Porto Madrid (look weaker than when we beat them last year) Dortmund PSG Munich Juventus I don't follow much European football - but does that look right to those that do?
Madrid once they get into the KO stage are evil. So I would say : Porto or Dortmund are best, the rest are nightmares. So Nemesis, be a lady for us today.
<BBC> Uefa remind us that VAR will be used in the Champions League from the knockout rounds </BBC> Next year etc for the Poool ... ??
The Sheikh Mansour Team drew Schalke I thought Manchester teams only got cushy draws in the group stages?
Was always going to be a tough draw. Dortmund have improved since last year so it's far from guaranteed, looking forward to it though.
That's a reasonable draw. Unlike drawing Real, Barcelona, PSG and Bayern, we have half a chance of getting an impartial set of Officials. **** officials....goes without saying but they could be relatively impartial, plus VAR comes into play.
CL draw : Liverpool vs Bayern Munich Ajax vs Real Madrid Roma vs Porto Lyon vs Barcelona Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund Manchester United vs PSG Atletico Madrid vs Juventus Schalke vs Man City
