I'd like to avoid athletico and juve for as long as possible. Dont think we're gonna win it this year anyway tbh
I too would prefer to avoid Atleti and, to a lesser extent, Sevilla. Both would be awkward opposition for us - Atleti for obvious reasons and Sevilla for similar reasons. Anyone else is fair game imo.
One of Lazio, Porto, or Gladbach would suit us best. Think we might struggle to get to semi finals this year due to our injuries, might do a bit better depending on who comes back from injury earlier than expected.
Leipzig are a very decent side on thier day. Can't complain though, wanted to avoid athletico and the chavs have got em so
Leipzig is a young very mobile team. I think although they are an unfancied name, they will be very tough to play against unless our defenders come back. one of Barca and PSG will be out. That’s good for English teams.
