Hopefully City and Chelsea go out so can enjoy the semi's. A Milan derby semi would be a madness but any of the 4 will be good. Milan will knock Napoli out.

Milan will knock Napoli out on what planet?  They are 20 points behind them in the league, and thats probably flattering Milan if anything

What a chance for one of the Italian sides or Benfica.
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks

Cool story. Being behind someone in a league table doesn't mean it's impossible to knock them out of a cup.

No but Milan are pretty abysmal. If anything it is Inter with the better chance to KO Napoli

Liverpool finished 37 points behind Chelsea when we knocked them out in 2005 , and were light years behind the Milan team we eventually beat . What is it they say about football ?

Yep, agree with the Milan shouts, a European pedigree and a touch of arrogance goes a long way, especially against a Napoli club that have zero real experience this late into a European Cup. I'd still fancy Napoli to go through but these intangibles make a difference.

I looked at the draw first and foremost with the hope that City got the toughest route, and so that's a positive, but for them, Bayern, Real and Chelsea to all be in the same half did get my antenna up slightly. UEFA are getting a bit of grief over the CL and how it's become predictable year on year with Spanish and English clubs dominating, and here we have a situation now where one of Inter, Milan, Benfica or Napoli are guaranteed to be in the Final, and only one of the "mainstays" of recent years can make it. Luck of the draw I suppose.

Real - Bayern and Napoli - Benfica in the semi's imo. Hopefully Bayern do the footballing world a favour and get the double over the cheating c*nts.

It’d have to be a bottle job from Man City to lose to Bayern. There’s not one area where you’d say Bayern definitely have an advantage.

Does their manager have a habit of overthinking things and doing mad stuff that blows up in his face in big European matches?

Really? I reckon overall they have a better team than City except upfront. Even if we say they are inferior, they have much more experience than City.
We'll see, hope I am right. Don't care as long City don't win it to be honest

Don't mind who wins as long as it's not Abu Dhabi or Chelsea.

Would be great to see Benfica win it or even Napoli (despite their dreadful fans)

Although in a way it would be funny to see Chelsea equal Manchester United's (biggest club in the world they'll have you know) paltry return of 3 EC's.

Napoli are perennial bottlers but winning Serie A will give them confidence this season and the draw has worked perfectly in terms of them at least reaching the final.

Hopefully it's a Bayern/Real semi so I can not give a fuck. At least City haven't got Napoli's route.

Chelsea are at home in the second leg so no chance for Madrid to do their mad comeback shite they did last season. I too think they have a good chance.

They’ve picked up a couple of wins recently but prior their form was worse than ours.  Can’t see them beating this Madrid team.
