Anyway. I'm hoping for Dortmund. They look average this season. But no easy games now.


This is exactly the type of team we would lose to because we would be expecting it to be easy just like Monaco years ago

Madrid and City are the ones I’d like us to avoid for now, anyone else I think this team can beat them over 2 legs

I think we can beat anyone TBH.
We can also lose to all 7 teams left.
:dontknow:

Personally, I don't care who we get.
If anything, I want Real Madrid - huge game we wouldn't see if we got knocked out by Dortmund!

Copy/paste my post from the Champions League thread:

Lets go fantasize about tomorrows draw shall we?

Best draw: Dortmund or Barca (still won't be easy)
Most fun draw: Real Madrid (first time in MY lifetime I'll be seeing this matchup )
Most annoying draw: Athletico Madrid (dark arts)
Toughest draw: Man City
Neutral draws: PSG & Bayern. (Big names but not performing to their full potential)

So yeah just 2 teams I want to avoid: City and Athletico.

If I were to be able to pick and choose who plays who I'd go:

Arsenal - Dortmund
Manchester City - Real Madrid
Bayern - PSG
Barcelona - Athletico Madrid
Wembley:
Community Shield @6-8-'23 = 1*-1 Manchester City

Emirates Stadium:
First game @10-9-'11 = 1 - 0 Swansea
Most memorable game @24-2-'22 = 2 - 1 Wolves
Last game @17-08-'24 = 2 - 0 Wolves
Next game @23-11-'24 = v Nottingham

I’m confident and hopeful. Porto was a stepping stone and a border that needed to be crossed. Now the lads have got some belief when it comes to European matches

Would love to avoid City or Madrid for now however

Personally would like to avoid Real, City, and Bayern. I'd feel confident against any other team. Barcelona would be the most fun though.

We’re completely untested in the CL because all the teams we’ve faced so far have been 2nd tier at best.

Finally facing the big guns.

Hope it's not Barca or Bayern, that would suck.

lol.
I have been telling you for ages that the CL is a lower-level competition until the later stages.

In general (but the odd decent team in the mix):

Group stages is Championship level
Last 16 is bottom half PL level
Last 8 it gets to the top end of the PL level.

Europa league ranges from League two to Championship

European Conference league is League Two to League One level

Usually you get two top teams in a group though, it’s nice to have as it’s exciting and good to get an idea of how you match up.

Next season it’s a new format, 36 teams in one table and each plays 2 teams from 4 different groups that has been split two.

Top 8 get through the last 16 and then the next 16 go into a playoff for the other 8 spots.

No drop into the EL.
