These clubs have been tearing up Europe for years, Jesus 5 years ago we were crashing out of the EL group stages after 6 consecutive draws, we've done exceptionally well to bridge the gap and become a top European club again but the 3 clubs next to us are in their own little elite circle.

Sure, our defence is probably better than the other teams. Our midfield on Paper when all fit is up there with the best.

But we don't have a plethora of World Class attacking talent that can just turn a game upside down in the blink of an eye. Because up until now we've not even come close to generating the sort of revenue or being an attractive enough destination to get these World Class talents in their prime.

Anything can happen with up to 3 games left, but we're not favourites against any 3 of these teams. Maybe a few Years of consistent CL success and the money generated from that can put us up there as equals, but now right now.

Main man Tom got this Proud

We got the best draw and I don't want anyone complaining. While we had to play Atleti. Barca and Bayern were chilling in the quarter finals. Not that Juve are bad

by adun101 Fri Apr 24, 2015 12:51 pm

I thought Real was "easier" over two legs, while Barca and Bayern over a single game.

I have a good feeling about this

Real have lost the last 7 two leg ties against Italian teams

The first match is on 5 Maggio, so there's that

yeah man, easy draw so far for us, only the Champions of France and England, now the Champions of Germany and if we beat them then either the champion of Italy or the title holders. Chilling.

Pep faces his former team. Carlo faces his former team.

Carlo pls win

by McAgger Fri Apr 24, 2015 4:36 pm

Barca's CL campaign has been relatively tough this time around ffs. Tougher than most CL campaigns I can remember for any team recently.

PL Champions in R16
Ligue 1 Champs in Quarters
Bundeliga Champs in Semis
Serie A Champs in Final?

Please stop insulting real champions by trying to convince us they are any good. Both those teams lost before the games had even started. Hexk Malaga gave Barca a bigger challenge than these two pretenders

We are lucky Juve are this inexperienced.

PSG beat Chelsea (undisputed best team in England at the moment) and they actually won against us in the group stages. And I'm the one trying to rewrite history? Laughing

by RealGunner Fri Apr 24, 2015 6:27 pm

Best team in England is Arsenal.

EPL is garbage mate.

by LeVersacci Fri Apr 24, 2015 6:42 pm

I'm glad we avoided bayern & barca. Both team would have stomped us so hard in both legs with our current injury list. Juve won't be easy at all. It'll be damn difficult to get past them even though Pogba is out.
