We arent even a horse, how could we be the dark horses?

WE ARE THE DARK PONIES!!!

Somehow I still feel like we are not ready.

Next season for sure.

I would love to be prove wrong, but when things get tough I have little faith in our strikers to bail us out.

The dark horse for me has to be PSG. Zlatan run right now is sort of like Drogba two years ago. He is on his last and is giving it his all to try to win the competition.

Such spirit and desire are always a wild card for me.

Difficulty order of the remaining teams imo :

Bayern

Real Madrid

Barcelona

Dortmund

PSG

Atletico

(Man Utd)

(Zenit)

Olympiakos

Wouldnt mind any team except for maybe Bayern or Real, that being said I still think we can still beat anyone ...

I dont want to offense but imo chelse would qualify only against olympiakos or manu in this list. And maybe againts dortm.

Olympiakos would be the luckiest draw. Dortmund is fine too considering they're suffering from injuries.

I think everyone else is better than us on paper, so at this point of the competiton all I hope for is that the younger player benefit from this experience.

Sure, we wont be favourites going through if we get drawn vs one of the top top teams, but if the players step up for it everything is possible.

Maybe Iam biased but I would actually see us 4th in that list...

No team will want to face us. Our defence is pretty solid, we won't let any team play their own game against us and in Hazard we have a proper match-winner so I'm really not too fussed who we get.

Having said that I think the worst draws would be PSG or Atletico. Olympiakos we could probably outplay and I'd probably be confident against Zenit and Dortmund too. Bayern, Real and Barca are all probably stronger than us too so it comes down to killing the game and looking to snatch a goal a la 2012.

But Atletico and PSG are teams in between those two approaches and would be tricky ties indeed. Atletico in particular remind me a lot of us and are my dark horses to win the whole thing. Having drawn Galatasaray in the last round though it's probably certain we'll get Real Madrid and have Carlo return to the Bridge.

Dear thendo, sure everything is possible in football, we did even have hope against chelsea despite the poor play we had(gala) but as far as i saw in both matches, chelsea is playing much worse than any other team in the list...but belief comes first, if the team believes that can do, if they dont just as we did not yesterday the results may be suffering... my intention is that we are going to watch either chelsea vs bayern or chelsea vs atletico matches...in anycase, good luck...

Bayern the last team I will want to face.

Why? Barcelona played much better against City, especially at the Ettihad, than Bayern did against Arsenal. Plus, we outplayed Bayern in the super cup with 11vs11 and were about 10 seconds from beating them.

Barcelona was crap in the first leg and bayern absolutely dominated both legs against arsenal.

Plus, we "were winning" against an injured bayern team that is completely different now.

Their whole team recovered from injury and is reaching their peak.

These were the supercup stats.

Overall[17] Bayern Munich Chelsea Goals scored 2 2 Total shots 37 14 Shots on target 19 9 Saves 7 17 Ball possession 64% 36% Corner kicks 15 5 Fouls committed 18 23 Offsides 1 4 Yellow cards 2 8 Red cards 0 1

Obviously, a lot had to do after ramires got sent off, however, to say we "outplayed" them is very wrong.

edit.

If you wanna do that, look at Dortmund vs Bayern in their cup game.

Dortmund won i think 4-2 that game, yet in the domestic league bayern absolutely hammered them.

I disagree. I think Bayern's peak was last season. Barca are inconsistent and at times poor this season, but at their best, I think they're unbeatable.

This team is better. Last season team was getting outplayed by dortmund (for a good portion of the game) without Mario Gotze.

People keep saying how last year team was better, yet in domestic league this year team has broken every record possible.

This season, a good chunk of their players were injured for some time (javi martinez, bastian, gotze, thiago, etc), last season everyone was healthy or most of them.

Also Martino is a terrible manager said every barcelona fan (minus the Argentinians)
