2015 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Very happy with that draw. Don't care about our 'English' sides much, especially the two who are left in it. Glad to see a resurgence from Italian Football. Would love a Milan derby for a semi final, that would be unreal, but equally I would love to see Napoli go all the way, they're one hell of a team at the moment. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 In one of the less heralded ties, I fancy Benfica to make the semi finals. Think they could have enough v Inter...they've been very good this season in the CL although losing Enzo Fernandez a blow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The San siro deserves one more champions Derby before it goes. I wanted it to be in this round. If that came to be, would try very hard to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Wonderful draw. Puts Man City on a horrid route - Bayern, Chelsea/Real, Napoli. More sky blue tears incoming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about now...I see Benfica as favourites too, but never say never... Unlucky draw for the English teams.

Red_Alligator Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 I missed this. Did we go out early on or something?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Interesting draw. Chelsea could consider themselves very hard done by against Madrid last time, but they’re absolute pony this season (though picking back up?) City v Bayern is a very tough draw for both. Napoli will go through their tie and I suspect will be in the final. No idea on Benfica or Inter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two times they've won it has been in testing circumstances shall we say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, my "other side" has been amazing this season even if fate has contrived to ensure almost all their games have been on the same night City have been playing . It's not even close to the best Benfica side on paper in the Champions League era, but the Dutch manager Roger Schmidt appears to be a genius and their side of the draw has opened up. One quirk of this campaign that is getting coverage only in the Portuguese media but seems ridiculous to me - Portugal is going to lose a CL place after this season to Schmidt's Netherlands as according to UEFA coefficients, Dutch teams racking up wins last season and this against minnows in the new Europa Conference league counts just as much. Benfica won a CL group that included both Juventus (beat home and away) and PSG and is now into the QFs, Sporting just beat Arsenal, Porto also made it to the last 16 of the CL from a group with Atletico Madrid, but because AZ Alkmaar beat Liechtenstein and Ukrainian teams twice and a Cypriot side once (losing the other time) apparently that's better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be great to see them in the final Rob, would make a nice change from the usual clubs. I guess getting a ticket would be nigh on impossible? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
