Who the fuck names their kid cube arse?

Interestingly bookies have Arsenal alongside Real as second favs... no idea why though lol... n I dont think I ever remember this match up, wouldnt mind it just to see this GL banter going too

I fear all the teams pretty much except maybe Atletico n Dortmunds chokability... the rest of the teams will prolly rape us... so I think Barca is fked unless we draw one of these 2 looool....

Henry owned Real Madrid back in 06

So did Liverpool and Torres

Too bad Arsenal dont have a player 1/10th of Henry in the frontline so they gon get steamrolled if they face RM.

QF

Aresnal V Bayern
Atletico V Dortmund
Madrid V City
PSG V Barca

happy with the draw, poetic justice to get revenge on Bayern, and Kane just can't get rid of us... just would've liked to get Farca or QSG in the semi, but it is what it is... at least one of City or Madrid are going out

So for SF is it the winner of City or Madrid VS winner of Bayern or Aresnal and Barca or PSG V Atletico or Dortmund?

Arsenal
Atletico
City
Barca

Arsenal v Atletico finalismo

correct

Barca-Man City final

no way Arsenal beat City/Real AND Bayern. They are mental midgets

BAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA Real gets Man C...gonna be epic.

PSG is gonna be a fav now, they get the luckiest draw so would be something if Mbappe n Dembele with Enrique pulls a surprise win Starting by Dembele vs Cancelo n Mbappe vs Kounde/Araujo We'll get spanked

Arsenal if get spanked by Bayern would be funny But am neutral on that...

Actually all the match ups are pretty good, not too boring n repeats

Actually havent wastched Dortmund at all this season, but figured Atletico should get past these chokers

They will face PSG in the semi, than Bayern prolly beat Arsenal, sorry

Arsenal just lack a bit in compared with Bayern in the CL, despite Tuchel trying his best to sobatage the club

Man C have to beat Real again... just dont let them go further, they can hog the comp starting next season with Mbappe, but not now ffs

Sit down 🪑 you're not getting past Bayern.

not sure why haters keep bringing this up... we're a completely different team now, and Bayern aren't as great as they used to be... and they have Tuchel who Arteta has gotten the better off

SAme as usual, many ppl dont seem to watch the other leagues or just join the hype, like Barca forum all rating our chances now n think PSG is average They are so loaded with quality its not funny, but just disjointed n Dembele always means hot or cold on the day... but they definitely have potential to go through the way n are most definitely much better than us.

Hakimi Marquinhos Danilo Hernandez

Emery Vitinha Ruiz

Dembele Mbappe Barcola

Raphinha Lewand Yamal

Fermin Christensen Gundo

Cancelo Cabarsi Araujo Kounde

Their bench is so loaded as well, pretty sure Mbappe will score for fun again

I get hyping up PSG just to keep spare yourself of the blushes if they beat Barça, is what you are going for here, but PSG genuinely nowhere near are the team they were. Not even close.

Enrique is a flawed coach even if a good one and shrinks in big games.

They have a total of three world class players at best (Mbappe, Donna, Hakim) and beyond that are just not a very good team.

If we speak of Mbappe the man is basically half waiting to leave.

Arq, I definitely been hyping them up for some time now as a dark horse, partly as a Mbappe n Dembele fan, but also genuinely impressed at times, although other times not for sure. Overall I just think ppl are under estimating them though. They got many players WC or near it n even more very decent players like Vitinha, Emery, Asensio, Soler, n defenders like Hernandez, Skriniar, Mendes, Beraldo, etc., plus the usual scrubs Their D has always been sus but its improved a bit n they are pressing better.

Enrique is weird cos he changes so much, but part of it is also to keep so many stars happy. So a lot will depend on what he does, but with so much talent in there, they are the best team from this side of the draw anyway. N Barca been very bad for a long while now so no blushes at all, I expect us to get fully beat just as I been saying for the past few yrs

Very strangely, PSG are now favored to make the final... and they could easily do it.  If PSG manages to win it, what a way for Mbappe to leave...

Mbappe is smart enough to recognize opportunities to become immortal. This is one of them.

There is zero reason for that... it hurts TV ratings. If UEFA had a choice, City and Madrid would be in opposite brackets to set up a great final. Bayern and Arsenal as alternatives (again, opposite brackets).

No sports league wants the biggest drawing teams to get eliminated early.

Pointing out obvious and objective facts is nowhere near hate, not sure why you keep repeating 'haters'.

What is weird is acting like Arsenal is going to obliterate everybody after years without CL football, and with an impressive record of zero CLs to their name in history.

facts that are history, this is a new time...
never used the word "obliterate", hombre

What strange draws. Not only did all of the top teams draw against each other, but the two weakest ones among them also drew against each other.
