Unlikely. The Premier League don’t have a history of being very accommodating to English clubs in Champions League. The Arsenal game is due to be on Sky, and they don’t show Champions League games, so I doubt they’ll give a shit either.

They haven't confirmed the CL dates yet have they?

Most think Chelsea are the strongest left on our side of the draw..

Seems nobody but nobody is fancying us for this. I think that helps us.

I'm not sure, BBC fixtures are showing both legs on the Tuesdays.

The Club haven't officially announced the dates but..

On UEFA.com they have:

Champions League quarter-final draw

6 & 14 April
Manchester City (ENG) vs Borussia Dortmund (GER)
Real Madrid (ESP) vs Liverpool (ENG)

7 & 13 April
Porto (POR) vs Chelsea (ENG)
Bayern München (GER) vs Paris Saint-Germain (FRA)

If we don't win at Arsenal then the rest of the CL can have our total concentration too which is nice. Real have a clasico in between legs and Chelsea may well have some big top 4 battles around time of the semi's. (rather we twatted Arsenal and still had a crack at 4th mind but it's a nice luxury if things go wrong)

More likely 8pm as they'll switch Sky games round as the Arsenal fixture is on Sky, not BT.

Sky also have an 8.00 Friday slot don’t they? Could whack it in there.

Red Beret · « **Reply #408 on:** March 19, 2021, 03:56:48 pm »

It's nice to see the roles reversed on City getting piss easy draws in the domestic cups. Of course, there are no easy draws at this stage of the competition, but they're still minnows on the stage that matters most, and they get treated as such.

4pool · « **Reply #409 on:** March 19, 2021, 04:05:05 pm »

With the draw... we will wear our Red home kit for every tie home and away until the Final.

We would wear the Red home kit there, even as the away side, against all the other potential sides except Bayern Munich.

Nice problem to have and all that but imagine gracing a Champions League final with our natty little turquoise number.

The hand rubbing by the Real fans on reddit is hilarious. Already talking about Chelsea and Porto.

They never learn.

Dave McCoy · « **Reply #416 on:** March 19, 2021, 04:37:21 pm »

Obviously Porto would have been the ideal but it could have been worse so not bad. Not looking forward to playing Chelsea in their current form but lets handle Madrid first. We're favored and it should be some good games.

Fromola · « **Reply #417 on:** March 19, 2021, 04:37:21 pm »

On our side I think it'll be Liverpool or Chelsea in the final. I don't see Real Madrid or Porto beating both of us.

A lot of omens from 2005 already. Chelsea in the semi again would be another one.

We're a lot more likely to beat City/PSG/Bayern in a one off game than two legs (given our injury problems).

That was why I didn't want our game against them the other week moved forward. The semi finals tips into May, it's a long time in terms of form, especially this season.

We may and probably should go on a run here to end the season but VvD, Gomez and Matip aren't coming back. We are what we are at this point which is a good but flawed team. A run of wins probably won't change who would be favored but anything can happen in 90 or 180 minutes, just need to get the chance.

I've wanted to see us play Madrid again since the final loss. This isn't a bad draw.

Henderson back for at least one of the Madrid games would be huge. Him and Kabak against Benzema and our chances go way up. Also his leadership and experience is invaluable in games like these.

I would rather Fab and Hendo in midfield, with Nat and Kabak at the back.. When either of Fab or Hendo are missing from midfield, we give up way more in terms of how we want to play and our control in midfield..

RogerTheRed · « **Reply #430 on:** March 19, 2021, 06:58:09 pm »

This is getting exciting! We have a great goalie now, they don’t have Bale to do mad things and Mo will want to tear Ramos a new one. Most importantly Ramos is like Loren, emotionally on the edge. I bet now he fucks up somewhere over the two legs.
Can’t see how we don’t progress to a Semi final against Chelsea.
They are solid, we need to get our defence sorted by then and get Sadie and either Jota or Bobby back scoring. I reckon that our midfield is starting to sort itself out since Fab came back.
Come on Redmen!!

Zinedine Zidane on LFC:

"We cannot say that it is a bad draw or a good one. Whatever happens throughout the season, Liverpool is a team that in a tie can play its card at any time. It is the same as us. It will be a good match between two teams that have won many Champions League trophies between them. At this level, it is always very difficult to win."

Same here, the excitement of CL knockouts does not compare to the league. Number 7 before number 20 any day.
