Forgot about that rule

To get to the final you need to beat the best. Why people want a weaker team is beyond me. You'll end up playing Madrid or Barcelona anyway. If you want to win it you need to take that hurdle. Does it matter what round that is?

Having an easy route then Barca in the final or playing Real, Juve, Bayern and then Barca in the final?
I wonder why people want a weaker team

Swap Atletico's and Real's path to the final, and most likely Real isn't a finalist. It is possible to avoid playing a top club until the final, and advantageous to play a weak side as long as you perform for 90 minutes.

You want a weaker team because you are not confident about Arsenal. Don't think Madrid fans care who they play, they know their team can beat anyone.

If you get beaten you won't win it so ut doesn't matter when you play a strong team. You need to beat them all to win it

What part of my comment is crazy?

So you want a weaker team because you are not confident in Arsenal?

And you don't think you have to beat big teams to win it?

Not sure who's crazy

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

Wrong thread - oops!

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.

Real will edge Dortmund to top group F
