A lot of people want Benfica (obviously no doubting that they are an easier draw than Madrid or Barca) but how do you guys feel knowing that Benfica would like to draw Chelsea? Honestly, Benfica line-up really well against Chelsea and usually do well against English opposition...be careful what you ask for, just sayin'

There is really no easy draw at this stage. I guess everyone wants Benfica because their players lack the experience of the CL knock-out stages.

Don't want Benfica, they're a good side with some really talented players (Witsel, Cardozo, Gaitan, Saviola, Rodrigo etc)

If we reach the final, i hope we face Barcelona. But meh, we wil face them in quaters finals.

It's far easier to beat Barcelona over 2 legs than in 1 final. Primarily because you can use one of the legs as an all out defensive effort, similar to what United did in 2008 and what we did in 2009 in Barcelona. If you can come away with a 0-0 you can be a bit more expansive in the return leg; but in a one off game you have to go at them and that makes the task much harder. If we had to face them I'd take the semi finals as the best possible time to face them.

:D looking forward to it :D I'm just happy that we're in the draw

Indeed. Two three weeks ago we would be killing for it. Looking forward to it. We are due some luck in this competition. And if we perform like we did against Napoli, then it could be something really interesting.
