So, Madrid will get Sevilla or Leicester in the quarterfinals, and then the worst of the lot in the semis.

I actually think Sevilla will school Leicester and Barca will end up drawing the former in an all Liga clash. Barca are usually the ones that end up drawing fellow liga teams before the finals.

Four out of the eight quarter finalists being Spanish is a massive possibility now.

I just realized something looking at the teams. Only Spain, England, Italy, Portugal, Germany and France are represented. No upsets this year really.

Off course, we will draw Atletico or some other powerhouse.

Can't believe Farça fans are already crying conspiracy about Madrid's " easy draw " all over social media. hmm

PSG are utter trash this year.

Congrats to Arsenal topping their group tho!

by El Gunner Mon Dec 12, 2016 2:00 pm

So if we finished second we would have gotten Barcelona

rofl

this shit is getting so dull now.

At least we can go out early and focus on the PL.

by futbol_bill Mon Dec 12, 2016 2:04 pm

Great draw!!! So now after 1st knockout, it will be

All 4 Spanish
2 Germans (Bayern and DOrtmund)
1 English (City)
1 Italian (Juve)

And Callejon returns to Madrid!!!! Edit: momentarily forgot Pepito went to Juve this season!

Isn't there a second round of draws for quarters?

by Jay29 Mon Dec 12, 2016 2:12 pm

We were *bleep* either way Laughing

It's as hysterical as it is boring by this point. Out of all six possible teams we could have drawn, we ended up with Bayern somehow yet again. It wasn't even our fault this time.

At least we have the second leg at home. That might change things a bit.

Lots of Leicester fans feel that Sevilla is a winnable tie. I think they're in a for a reality check tbh.

Yes. Even for semi-finals there's a draw.

Doc wrote:2 Italian teams in the UCL semis? I guess one can dream. Anyway, Madrid can't face Atletico, Barcelona or Dortmund so I'm thinking, with our lovely luck, it's either a kick ass tie against Juve or a straight forward tie against Napoli.

Straight forward tie against Napoli it is.

by Helmer Mon Dec 12, 2016 3:06 pm

Arsenal

So basically it would not have mattered what position they finish in their gourp.
Being at first position, they face now Bayern.

Had they been second, they would have faced Barcelona rofl
