The ceremony is taking a ridiculous amount of time

You clearly haven't watched this ceremony often before. This one was actually surprisingly lean, fast and efficient

City-Monaco, Benfica-Dortmund and Madrid-Napoli are great ties that we never see. Happy about those and Porto-Juve. Sucks that we got Arsenal-Bayern and PSG-Barca again.

by S Mon Dec 12, 2016 10:22 pm

One of the worst draws ever as a neutral

But can't complain as a Juventus fan

Yeah this was way faster than usual.

Napoli is a tough draw. Definitely an opponent to be wary of.

Not really, all three of these games are very one sided. Even PSG vs Barca and Bayern vs Arsenal are one sided as well as repetitive.

i watch it every year mate. and every year it's always the same thing: they talk, talk, talk then talk again, then show us a shitty-ass highlight video, then they talk again.

Second only to the Ballon d'Or ceremony in terms of time wasting :facepalm:

It was, wasn't it? I turned in at 12.10pm and I didn't have to witness a single second of music and not a single video clip shown. Draw takes little over 5 minutes and done.
This was actually a tolerable, somewhat pleasant experience with a sense of purpose this time

I wouldn't rule Arsenal out tbh, as funny as Pep's performance at City is Bayern have been worse under Ancelotti than they were under him as their results in both league and CL prove.

by Warrior Mon Dec 12, 2016 10:27 pm

City - Monaco
Madrid - Napoli
Benfica - Dortmund
Bayern - Arsenal
Porto - Juventus
Leverkusen - Atletico
PSG - Barcelona
Sevilla - Leicester

it seems like PSG will play either Barca or Chelsea every year in Champions League, they must be doomed

I don't think City-Monaco will be one sided at all. City will have to be very careful going into the tie. If they were to play today I'd have Monaco as favorites, but its in 2 months so we don't know yet.

Benfica-Dortmund too. Hard to call. Domestically Benfica are doing much better, will be tight.

Yep. We got the big matches as repetitive ones while the rest are very much one sided. The only upset I could potentially see is in the Monaco - City game but the odds are slim.

Maybe but we're still miles above Arsenal
