warnie_666 1,081 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Eeeek!!Barca/Liverpool here we come no doubt! Be nice to not get them for a change or Man/Arsenal seeing we play them all the time We certainly wont get Barca and Liverpool and Man Utd in the Quarters. We will all be in one group. We may get either, Bayern Munich, Villareal, Athletico Madrid and Arsenal. There will definately be one all English Quarter final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarter finals draw is based on the Rankings of the team. It is highly unlikely that Manchester United and Chelsea could face each other in Quarters. Semis are not based on rankings though. POT 1 Chelsea, Barca, Liverpool, Man Utd POT 2: Arsenal, Porto, Villareal, Bayern The draw for semis is Random though. We may end up with any team in the semis cus its random.

I was wrong. It seems this season it is going to be random and not according to seedings. It seems that this new rule has been brought in by Platini to stop English Clubs dominance in Europe.

Shane 2,275 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I never remember that rule, And would that not make English dominance worse? Giving 3 English teams ties where they would be the favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 If they put all the english teams in one cup the chance that "the dominance" will be broken is kinda more low. I think they will mix the teams up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will mix the teams up... If they keep Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpol in one Box, Chances are they will go on to Semis like last few years. Because they are strong teams and are more likely to win against Porto, Villareal and the likes. This year they will do it randomly so there could be chances of Chelsea ManUtd and Liverpool facing each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
