Chelsea were able to get a draw away to Paris Saint-Germain, they only need 0:0 draw at home in the second leg. Manchester City have a hill to climb away to Barcelona in the Nou Camp. They need to beat Barcelona by two clear goals, 0:2 or1:3 is going to do the trick. Arsenal lost to Monaco at home , they have a mountain to climb away to Monaco, they have have to win by three clear goals, needs to win 0:3,or 1:4 very difficult but not impossible. In your opinion which English team have the best chance of making the quarter final draw. Please vote:
Arsenal going out is not good news for us, they're terrible travellers and always pick up form once out of the CL.
When the draw was made we should all have our city down as being screwed Chelsea are not great at the back with terry being exposed quite a bit and Cahill being dropped so I think they need to score and win the game at home I should really not be shocked at arsenal... But still am. I should have known they'd implode right about now but Monaco??? ****! I am betting the house on utd scalping them in the fa cup now
How do they work out how many teams get CL spots from a country. Due to last few years performances surely England must be in danger of dropping to 3 teams? PL would become very interesting then!
There is a coefficient for each country that determines the top ranked countries Germany over took Italy and took thier 4th place so italyo nly have a top 3 in cl English clubs are competing with Italy Every club in every comp counts so every time Spurs threw the europa away chasing 4th they were hurting their own chances
The English club reality is none know how to defend All have continental managers and continental players but none can defend for **** We see stats in the Orem of 20 shots 8 on target and then moan about Spanish clubs having 5 or 6 shots and 4 on target Their game must be **** right? No they have better defences and all hold the ball not lashing it at goal any time they get within 30 yards. Until prem league stops calling defence negative... And LFC were lambasted for daring to try defend v Real Madrid.... And learns how to bloody do it right... Well let's just say I'm thinking city will ship at least 5 v barca
Just shows you how weak English football is. Whilst I'm not directly supporting Arsenal, Chelsea and City in the CL, it would be nice to have English teams dominate once more.
The only hope city have is that they score early and defend, I can see Barca having one eye on El Classico but if city chase it they'll get mullered Set piece goal is my thought
City also went out:they needed to beat Barca with two clear goals, unable to score. It should have been a cricket score if not for Joe Hart.
