Number of times 4 clubs from the same country have reached the CL quarter-finals:

3 England (07/08, 08/09, 18/19)
2
1
0 Every other European country

Sometimes think people think it's a joke the whole "GOAT league" thing but to me it's never been a joke. You couldn't get something more real.

This statistic just proves it.

Still gotta recognize the GOAT league for what it is though

the only team I do not want to face is Juventus. Otherwise on our day and Ox performing at 75%, we stand a chance against any of the remaining team Proud

Don't think AOC would be back for the QF. He is barely playing fulltime with the reserves.

Good days. 08/09, 4 English teams in the quarters, Barca beat Lyon scoring 5 goals in Camp Nou. Wonder how it ended, can someone remind me again? hmm

by nasir6371 Thu Mar 14, 2019 5:03 pm

Ideally:
Juve - Barca
v
United - Liverpool

Ajax - City
v
Porto - Spurs

Really just want to avoid Barca and Liverpool. Either in the semis is fine. Would like Ajax - Porto in our bracket if we get the opponents mentioned above.

by LoveSlug Thu Mar 14, 2019 5:22 pm

I'd rather avoid United and City, hell even Spurs. We play them minimum twice a year anyway don't need to be playing them in Europe. Dish up any of the remaining teams and we'll give it a bash and see what happens. To be honest most of the time I'm just happy to be back in the CL and enjoying the ride.

by Unique Thu Mar 14, 2019 6:20 pm

i would like ajax. they will come out to attack after the destruction of madrid and liverpool will smother them and ruin them on the break. they are a good team but are young and dont have great expirience

Yeah Ajax would be my preferred draw. After last season Porto may be a bit more up for it after the drubbing that we give them last season.

by Firenze Thu Mar 14, 2019 8:06 pm

Porto are the ideal draw. Honestly think Ajax will be tough for a few of the teams left, us included. Definitely the second weakest though, but wouldn't be shocked to see them beat another top team in the tournament.

Honestly wouldn't mind Spurs at all, although I do believe they would beat Barca, Juve etc.

There's no way you actually believe this lol, or you just enjoy looking very silly after the opposite obviously happens.

Damn i regret there is no betting thread anymore

It's part of his banter. We beat Spurs last year when we were worse and they were better, Barca beat them this season already 4-0 or something like that.

Porto/United
Ajax/Spurs
Liverpool
City
Barca

Is the order I see for us in favourable draws.

We do have the players who on their day, can influence games and can beat anyone. But yea you are right, player for player, we rank quite lower.
Just want to enjoy the experience, nothing more. It's been a while we have come this far, and it looks like next year will be pretty hard too.

Fluke win claims, well I can see, why neutrals are saying that. But I beg to differ. We had luck going our way, sure, but scoring 3 goals away against a strong European team with half your team missing ,is no fluke. PSG was hard done by. But we did deserve it too, the qualification, for our heart and effort.

Yeah playing a PL team would be like another PL Game. Better be some European Teams.

How crazy it will be if all English teams get drawn to non English teams and we have an all English semi final draw Laughing

I feel like Ajax are being underrated here.

by Arquitecto Fri Mar 15, 2019 7:11 am

Two former Interisti (both still close to Inter) in Julio Cesar and Luis Figo performing the draws as a sympathy plea to Inter.

Please draw Juventus to Manchester City.

by Arquitecto Fri Mar 15, 2019 7:14 am

Seeing Julio Cesar again reminds of me what a superb goalkeeper he was and how overlooked his career has been.

by S Fri Mar 15, 2019 7:18 am

Man City/Spurs - Ajax/Juve semi-final 1

Barca/United - Pool/Porto semi-final 2
