madrid didnt get lucky, it's cold as hell ins moskva playing in their turf is a hell

I guess a lot could change come February guys.

One injury for an important player or a team doing well in the transfer market and ofcourse their league form could change the dynamics of these respective clashes.

So lets not make an assessment just yet.

Right, the Europa League draw is in around 30 minutes time. I'll be doing updates for that draw, too. Some big sides in it this year.

:lucas:

CSKA is quite attack heavy........they'll always have a shot especially if they give a decent away performance.

I'm curious who Schalke and Hannover will face. Hannover could well run into any of the real big guns like ManUtd or ManCity.

That guy in your avatar looks like Montella from that view.

ffs, any team except for milan and napoli wouldnt have been a reasonably easy game
both english teams get drawn against the two best unseeded teams, clearly UEFA is trying to eliminate all english sides from the CL

Yea.......a semi bad draw against the 5th place team in Serie A and clearly there's a conspiracy behind the scenes to eliminate English Clubs. :lol!:

inter marseille that should be easy

Maybe UEFA tries to eliminate the Italian clubs? Could be a conspiracy in that direction, too. Oh, and Leverkusen drawn with Barca is a conspiracy, too, Germany's 5 year ranking seems to have been on the rise too much, so getting rid of at least one German team was a must, too XD

Heck, it's a draw! You have to beat what is put in front of you to win the CL! If you get kicked out, you were not good enough - it is as simple as that.

and btw, i hope napoli and milan can do us a favour and kick the arsenal and chelsea out

call me a whatever you can call me but i have faith that leverkuzen can edge it

I wouldn't put it past Leverkusen to get a decent result at home, but the leg in the Camp Nou is a whole different beast. Speaking from personal experience here, you're 90% likely to concede any lead you have over Barcelona if the second leg is in Spain.

I hope so.

pretty difficult opponent and a decent club, we will respect arsenal but milan really gotta win this, i cant bear to see milan getting out of last 16 for 3 consecutive years...

Three minutes until the Europa League draw. I'm sure we'll have a good fifteen minutes of presentation and crap before hand, though.

The last 16 is also being drawn today.

Actually, knowing Leverkusen they will kick out Barca, next get rid of Real and make their way to the final just to be beaten there and end up second as usual

They are now showing the best of the group stage action in the Europa League. Draw shall be underway shortly.

leverkusen are shit lol, they're gonna get raped

BTW, thanks GoonerJay for the live report! *bows*

lol of course. those poor epl clubs and epl fanboys. it's all about what it looks like from their perspective. what about serie a fans? two of their teams draw against two big names in world football (arsenal and chelsea), also have had a 4th cl spot taken away from them. yes uefa is out to get italian football too. some other conspiracies is with uefa and favouring barca and platini fixing the lyon and zagreb match. yes uefa is doing all these things. but i still can't figure out what they're trying to achieve by doing these things.

Midorag Belodedeci is assisting with the draw, along with Machetti. They're just asking Belodedeci a couple of questions. Machetti will then explain the technical procedure and the draw will be underway.

jesus this is boring... "it is a great opportunity for the country and the team, bla bla bla"

noone cares, just get on with the draw -.-

I think we can handle CSKA Moscow at the Bernabeu, but teams usually struggle in Russia and it'll be difficult to win there.
