Ideal draw for next round

Obviously Madrid and Bayern (or Juventus) are worst case scenarios, but which team would be ideal for making it to the next round? Assuming Arsenal doesn't bottle it like against Monaco, I'd take either Benfica,Porto, or Leverkuesen, definitely the weakest possible draws. I'd take on City, also. Feel the squad could match them well and exploit their high line.

I wanted a strong team. Wasn't necessary to risk Sanchez & Ozil, though. Probably Kos, too.

Not too fussed, as you've gotta beat the best at some point in the competition to win the thing.

That said, of course you want to give yourself the best odds possible

I would have thought of all fans, Arsenal fans would understand the difficulties of drawing a top team in the last 16

Whilst I'd always go for the easiest tie at this stage, at the same time, I wouldn't mind Madrid.

Obviously they'd be heavy favourites, but it'd be something very different.

Now we've won the group we'll get madrid or munich.

Arsenal or Leicester are likely to get Real or Bayern because of the amount of other teams that can’t play them and the small number of teams Leicester and Arsenal can play.

We'll obviously get Bayern or real. Probably do the usual of getting pumped away, then almost draw the tie at home.

If we get an easier tie, the team better not get stupidly complacent again.
