And some thought we need to qualify for CL to sign him. Yet he chooses pre season for new season over playing last 8 tournament to become European champion. 3 games away from the title. 

It just shows that argument that some club need to finish top4 to bring top players is false. Proven million times.

I think that is somewhat debatable. We have been fortunate that the players we have bought in recent years do not have a strong affinity to the Champions League. Of course they want to be playing in it but they do not see as a deal breaker but am pretty sure there is a select group of players who see it as a deal breaker. Plus there is also the fact that despite our crap-ness/inconsistencies/problems, we have always competed for trophies, always winning something and haven't become like Liverpool in the early 2010s or Arsenal - basically irrelevant. We obviously want/need to get back to the very top again but at least we are still relevant enough to be an attractive proposition for players.

Surely we neeed to play bayern in Allianz? 

Not that it matter

They apparently haven't decided what to do with the Round of 16 2nd legs yet. But the idea from quarter finals onward is to make it a one-legged tie.

Werner wants Leipzig exit sped up as Chelsea close in on striker - sources

https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4113170/werner-wants-leipzig-exit-sped-up-as-chelsea-close-in-on-striker-sources

Timo Werner has informed RB Leipzig that he does not want to play in the club's Champions League quarterfinal tie, provisionally scheduled for August, so he can push through a move to Chelsea, sources have told ESPN.

The 24-year-old has agreed to join the Blues on a five-year deal worth up to £200,000-a-week. Werner had a release clause which set his valuation dependent upon Leipzig's finishing position in the Bundesliga but with three matches still to play, the two clubs negotiated a figure believed to be in the region of €53 million.

He is yet to complete a medical due to coronavirus safety measures affecting movement in both Germany and England, but all parties expect a formal announcement to be made soon.

Werner is seeking to accelerate that process by confirming he would prefer to start life with his new club rather than complete Leipzig's European campaign.

The Bundesliga is due to finish on June 27 but with other European leagues some way behind and travel restrictions still in place in many countries, UEFA are planning to stage the rest of this season's Champions League in a mini-tournament format spread over 11 days in Lisbon in August.

Remaining a Leipzig player would prevent Werner joining Chelsea until more than eight weeks after domestic football ends in Germany, given the final is planned for Aug. 23. UEFA will finalise the schedule in a vote on Wednesday.

That delay would jeopardise his availability for the start of the 2020-21 Premier League season -- projected for early September -- and so Werner has requested his transfer be completed this month once the Bundesliga campaign is over.

I can wait!!! Not the feeling like that of Aguero but it a good feeling. The Aguero feeling almost got me mad after we missed out on him.
