Champs league draw

Post by badliebenzell »

4 hot balls and 4 white balls - could UEFA have even made the draw more obvious?

it was kinda clear real v barça would only happen in the final, but I do think the final will be Bayern v Barça.

It would be Barca/Milan rather than Madrid in the semis. And although those games should hopefully take something out of them, they would be in London for the FA Cup and at home for the CL, so won't have the inconvenience of travelling. :cry: :cry: Personally I'd like both Leicester and Benfica to knock them out but can't see it happening. :banghead: :cry:

Perhaps its the cynic in me, but you really do have to wonder. The 4 so called highest ranked teams left in the thing are all kept apart and all 4 are drawn away in the 1st leg. You try putting those 8 teams in a bowl and drawing them out - see how many times it would take you to get to a situation when the 4 top teams were kept apart and all were drawn away in the 1st leg. Uefa's opinion of themselves is self indulgence of the highest degree - no games to be played in the stadium where the final is for at least 2 weeks prior to it, and how dare an affiliated member have their own final on the great day of the final?
