UCL Draw Thread

The hardest draw of the lot, it had to be I suppose.

I don't think we are capable of beating them this season, even with their injury list, oh and ours of course.

But Atleti hold the voodoo over us just like Everton.

Atletico Madrid could play home leg of Chelsea tie in Bucharest

The second leg will still take place in England, as scheduled.

While it is unfair on Atletico, this is an advantage we have to capitalize on.

Does it really change much?

Not that much no, no fans allowed anywhere anyway.. As long as we get the W its all good.

Now with Tommy in charge I feel a whole lot more confident we can get a result against Atleti.

Not that I disliked Frank but I think the ECL was a bit to far for him.

Maybe things will change in February but I'd fancy our chances against Atletico, especially with the first leg being in Madrid. 

At least my optimism few months ago wasn't misplaced, even with the change of manager and all. 😆

Is this really true? Portugal has just around 300 Covid cases per day.

And oh the irony... We could not play in Spain against Atletico but now we may 😆
