Potential opponents in CL...

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

When is the draw made? Friday ?

[Woobus]

When is the draw made? Friday ?

Think its Friday the 19th

[Craig_H]

Right, it's now definitive.

We'll get one of:

Inter
Villarreal
Sporting Lisbon
Lyon
Real Madrid

Hardly the reward we'd have wanted, for winning the group

[Vermilion]

Barca can only play one of four sides apparently, and three of them are, Chavs, Arse, Inter...he he.

[Joe King]

I would take any of them besides Inter or Villarreal

[Sarb]

Right, it's now definitive.

We'll get one of:

Inter
Villarreal
Sporting Lisbon
Lyon
Real Madrid

Hardly the reward we'd have wanted, for winning the group

Don't think that's too bad Craig

We can do Lisbon and Lyon. Villareal is a winnable game for us. Inter and Real Madrid will be the tough ones.

Can't complain at that one

[Craig_H]

If we'd come 2nd, it would've been one of:

Roma
Barcelona
Panathinaikos
Bayern Munich
Porto
Juventus

Much of a muchness, i guess.

We can do anyone mate, it's not that i think we're screwed.

You'd just prefer an easy tie for the 1st knockout phase. Sporting Lisbon is the only 'bye' in there, the others will all require us to perform well.

Panathinaikos
Bayern Munich
Porto

Juve would have been tough. Porto isn't an easy game. Barce are the best team in Europe at the moment with the best player in the world

Think it's fairly even to be honest

[Craig_H]

I think there's 2 'easy' ties in that second batch and 1 in the first batch.

But then, i spose there's only 5 teams in the first batch and 6 in the 2nd, so meh...

[Sarb]

Lyon aren't what they used to be. To be the best you've got to beat the best

Why is there only 4 on your list? There'd have been 6 teams we could've faced if we'd finished 2nd.
