Topic: UEFA Champions League. Klopp's got a semi

[ScouserAtHeart]

They won their group so they get the good draw. No complaints really.

jammy group

[classycarra]

Great draw. What a great few weeks it's been for us.

Gutted I've not been to any aways this season, been waiting for this tie since we were in Europe with Rafa. Near perfect away day. Though I think I'm on holiday for this anyway

Real shame Muller can't play, would have made life easier for Matip/Lovren/Gomez

[Jookie]

Good trip

Defo. Munich is a belter of place to visit.

Pretty sure the Allianz Arena is in the middle of nowhere though. That's what it seemed like anyway.

[RobbieRedman]

where's our German* football correspondent Dië Nullpfeffernüsser with his thoughts?


*Welsh really

[88_RED]

Happy enough with that.. But how many petro dollars did City spend over the weekend?? 

Dortmund are gonna fuck up the c*nts..

Tottenham and Dortmund should be a great match actually..

Roma vs Porto is a fucking piss take.. Hope we get one of them in the quarters after we twat the Bavarians..

Glad we avoided Barca and Juve..

[Thepooloflife]

Nice trip to Munich

[DelTrotter]

Thomas Müller is out of both legs after getting sent off for a head high tackle on some Ajax player in their least game, isn’t he?

First leg, second still to be decided at a hearing. He's shit now anyway, they'd be better off with him out and James there.

[OsirisMVZ]

Bayern haven't been knocked out in the round of 16 since 2011. Quarters minimum since then. Hell of a record.

Thats what happens when you keep getting Arsenal

[TheTeflonJohn]

Well happy with that, I`ve been wanting to see the reds in Munich for years.

[Cracking Left Foot]

Some great draws there. Pretty happy with Bayern, I think Klopp will know exactly how to handle them.

Real could be in trouble, I think people are under-estimating Ajax, and Real are, let's face it, fucking shite this season.

Looking forward to M'bappe tearing Chris Smalling & Phil Jones a new arsehole.

[bird_lfc]

Man City jammy as always. Still won't ever win it

Prefer it that way. The further they get in the competition, the more it will benefit us.

Great draw for us in my opinion. Confident of progressing and that's a great away tie too.

[idontknow]

Schalke 04 x Manchester City
Atletico Madrid x Juventus
Manchester United x Paris Saint-Germain
Tottenham Hotspur x Borussia Dortmund
Olympique Lyon x Barcelona
Roma x Porto
Ajax x Real Madrid
Liverpool x Bayern Münich

I like how you write out Spurs' name in full, as if it might mean something to someone

[Fitzy.]

Not a gimme but certainly not a terrible draw.

Klopp will have their number.

[DonkeyWan]

I don't care how good or bad they are, I'm just pleased to see a proper good game in the offing. Not a 180 minute chase around after ninja midgets, not 180 minutes of weeping divas falling over. No, a proper balls out, full throttle smash up with a top German side.

[Felch Aid]

We schooled them in a pre season last year and Ancelotti got the sack not long after iirc.

Was dreading Barca.

In some ways Bayern have had the problem of PSG recently by dominating the league and struggling against different sides in Europe although they should have beaten Real in the semis but fate was on the side of cheats.

Don't underestimate them but I just feel the squad needs overhauling and is ageing a bit like the current German squad.

[Ray K]

Ajax should have topped their group, and they've been baaa-aad in the Bundesliga, so no better time to meet them.

Might want to advise Robbo on the whole Robben-cuts-inside-to-shoot thing though.

[stara]

Munchen. Great city to visit.

[Didi_ram]

Top game. I think we'll qualify. Bayern are nowhere near good enough.

[ScouserAtHeart]

Think it'll be a lot closer than people think. Still confident though

[lionel_messias]

Klopp will love that draw.

City to stay in (which suits us in the League campaign as well)

[robgomm]

Thats what happens when you keep getting Arsenal

 

[Fordy]

We play Utd and Everton around the home & away ties

Look, Klopp and staff know about Bayern and German football.

Considering the teams we could of got then this is a god draw.

[gemofabird]

Who's home first?

[CHOPPER]

We're going to have to stop getting fucking beat away from home in the CL.

[Shanklygates]

Does that mean we play on the Wed of the 2nd week? The only day I can't do at all!!

[PROPER crazyemlyn72]

Aren't Bayern doing really poor this year? Really off the pace in 1 team League.

[Reds Flag]

Can't wait for the games, will be great to play a proper team, plus Bayern are struggling a bit at the moment, we should have a good chance.

Obviously both Mancunian and Parisian financial doping twats got byes to the next round.

[PhilV]

Are we happy with Bayern? Did they suddenly become shit? I don't really follow much European stuff to be honest...

They aren't what they used to be, older squad too but on their day they can still cause damage, we need to go there and absolutely put the game to bed at their place - I have never been to their place so might try and sneak a cheeky trip to the Allianz! 

[CHOPPER]

Someone mentioned 12:45 they'll release them, but not seen confirmation yet

Don't tell them, Pike!

[Red Beret]

Looks like the fixtures are going to fall right next to our derby matches. Hopefully the Utd game is as easy as yesterday.

Probably depends on how desperate Utd are when it comes to PSG.  Their second leg is away so if by some miracle they hold PSG 0-0 at home will they have to prioritise CL over our fixture?

[CHOPPER]

Someone mentioned 12:45 they'll release them, but not seen confirmation yet

Cheers

Don't tell them, Pike!

[elsewhere]

So who is missing from Bayern team? Muller missing first match?

[OneTouchFooty]

No Müller for them.

[CHOPPER]

No Muller for them.

Is rice

[Red-4-Ever]

Bayern are a bit shite right now but the tie is a few months away and who knows what happens between now and then. It’s a great tie though and one Klopp will savour I think, bring ‘em on!

[rob1966]

0-0 at home - 1-1 away 

[gerrardsarmy]

Who's home first?

We are due to being runners up.
