They are amazing but lets see how they play agains a top top team benfica inter and milan we are clear favourite I feel that we may play against benfica Edited March 14, 2023 by Mário César Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Playing either of Inter or Benfica would be interesting. Benfica because of the Enzo connection, and Inter because of Lukaku. Both of them will be playing with some venom against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Benfica would be most favourable draw on paper really, although there is some bad blood after the Enzo pursuit and signing so that could be extra incentive for them. Inter or AC Milan next after them but would honestly want to avoid all of the other teams. Suppose in all likelihood though we will get one of Bayern, Real, City or Napoli, not Benfica or either Milan club - wouldn’t be surprised.

NikkiCFC 8,318 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I'm not afraid of Napoli at all. They don't have experience on this level even tho when you look their results this season they are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Bayern & City. Ideal draw would probably be Milan clubs (as they haven't had that many high scoring games in the UCL), followed by Benfica/Napoli.

We have not beaten any real top team under him so far apart from Milan/Dortmund. only way to beat City, Real or Bayern is with a big slice of luck and the old TT playbooks we have however performed better vs less conservatively defending sides that leave spaces in behind. Even if did not win we played better vs City, owned Dortmund and Milan. the problem will remain our chance conversion. If we want to beat City or Bayern we need to be super clinical cos they sure as hell will be.

Agree we will need some big breaks, like a Chilwell storm down the left or Havertz playing like he can - but its definitely doable. I am optimistic as there are less of the 'old guard' that have done it, and it seems a lot of the newer younger ones are hungry for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that Madrid can't hurt us, but the way Liverpool were ripped apart was mostly down to some awful, at times comical, defending on their part. It even prompted Carragher to say that he could still do a job for the current Liverpool back 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Speaking of Liverpool- Madrid, it must be annoying for Madrid that away goals aren't worth a dime. Scoring 5 at Anfield should have deservedly put them out of sight. But as it is, it's just a 3 goal deficit. They came close to choking against us last season. Let's see if they've learned from that.

They score first... I really don’t think Liverpool are still capable of big turnarounds anymore. Their squad looks rinsed, Klopp has exhausted his repertoire, salah is missing more chances than ever, Mane is gone, vvd getting old. They are not the force they once were and need a rebuild. would like them to do it anyway. They are easier to beat than the nuisance that is Madrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say the same it's their year. Especially if they get to the final. On average the first you get there you tend to lose it, the second time you tend to win it. It's what tend to happens on average.

Mário César 1,252 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 all depends of the draw if they have luck to avoid bayern maybe they have a great chance but well city this year is capable of the best and the worst I believe that they will have a great draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
