    Incredible comeback, against all odds they beat Ajax, disappointing as plenty of Chelsea booked Amsterdam.

    First leg away, we can do this. QF isn't beyond us.

    I almost did it when the draw was made as me and my mates want to go anyway but decided against it. Just have to hope we get there in the final!

    Same here I thought Atletico would go out tbh. Couldn't see them overturning a 2 deficit in Russia. Biggest surprise was Ajax. Over the 2 legs I'm amazed Napoli lost 5-0.

    On paper we are easily the best team left in the competition now, unlike in the CL no draw should daunt us.

    I've said for a long time I prefer playing home first leg, the level of concentration today was poor, we got complacent after the 1st leg, same happened with Copenhagen in the CL a few years back and Benfica last season.

    Bloody well hope not DL. We should be burying these teams. Get rid of the useless twat Rafa and his mate Torres, and we'll walk it.

    I'd have preferred Ajax, but bring on the Rumanians! I think we have a good chance of making the final!

    Still some good teams left but with Liverpool, Lyon, Madrid and Napoli all going out, certainly can't hurt our chances. Madrid were arguably favourites.

    Good also that Spurs and Inter have got each other cos they would be 2 of the more difficult sides for us to have at some point. I fancy a team like Anzi or Zenit to do well also.

    Chelsea v Inter final in Amsterdam would be amazing. Don't think we'll get that far though judging by the last 2 games.
