That's you getting Zlatan'd!

Unlucky for Atletico Madrid, probably the one draw they really didn't want.

We've got half a chance with that draw, blatantly obvious but it all depends on the first leg !!

I've said our only chance of achieving anything this year in the CL would be 'to do a Chelsea'. Now with that draw we need to do anything but...

And the first leg is away it seems. And our CL away form has been pretty decent.
Here's hoping for a boring second leg at the Etihad.

Real and Bayern have to be happy with that.
I think Athletico have as good a chance of anyone against Barcelona.
Away to PSG could go either way. I'd say our two best performances of the season were Sevilla and Kiev away so come on City!

I'd say that isn't a bad draw for you lot.

Don't let my teams poor attempt at besting the Parisians cloud your judgement. This PSG side are very beatable.

I wish it was Chelsea flying the English flag, but I wouldn't begrudge City going all the way.

Good luck guys!

Anyone know who we can get in the semi if we manage to go through?

Depends who wins the other quarter finals. The winners go through to the semis and the losers go out

I don't know when they stopped drawing the Quarters and Semis at the same time.

I personally think PSG will win with a bit to spare. They're a great side - far better than English fans and media make out. I remember my amusement last season when everyone made Chelsea favourites against them but Chelsea were well outclassed.

We've been awful all CL campaign but somehow managed to top our group and eased past Dynamo Kiev....Wouldn't rule us out

With our biggest decline in the last 15 years Chelsea still only lost 4-2 to PSG and they are improving year on year.

City will be praying Aguero isn't injured for that tie because they have no chance without him.

Hope you get through. Drags the co efficiency points up and I want to see you cry proper tears of despair when Barca smash you to pieces.

Thats if Barca get past Athletico

Exactly Simeone has had Barca over a loads of times, very tough side to beat remind me of Mourinho and Rafas old Chelsea and liverpool sides.

Since Simeone has been in charge of Atletico, they have played Barcelona fifteen times and only won one and drawn five. Atletico did knock them out of the CL in their previous meeting in the competition though.

B1_oody hell carefree are you Hafi in disguise!!

Nice stat didn't know must have been Real Madrid they have a good record over then under Simeone knew it was one of them, either way they are no pushovers and they won't roll over like Arsenal.

SBR (Stretty Bitterness Rating) about 8 on that one I feel. Who have United got in the next round of the Ropey?

We do get the creme de la creme on here don't we? Hafi and Stretty, Have you noticed that when Hafi doesn't get a reply he often answers his own posts. As for Stretty, you'd think he give it at least a days rest before crowing about anything after last nights abject showing.

I would feel a touch more confident with that draw if we didn't have the keystone cops in the defence.

Did United not win? I saw Hafi's prediction of an easy win for United and as I was out I didn't bother checking as his predictions are always spot on.
I knew Stretty would be pleased for us. I presume he gets neckache looking for us higher up the table than United which explains the bitterness.

The sbr 😂 Brilliant

I think we should rate all his contributions on our board really. He spends more time on our board than the Rag one to be fair.
