So City game moved ?

[rob1966]

Of course the best thing about this draw is we won't have to hear PetertheRed jizzing over the possibility of us playing City 4 times in 2 weeks again

Yeah, the fucking blert 

[Crosby Nick]

No one handles Atletico Madrid easilly ...

Chill out Swayzee.

[Brain Potter]

So City game moved ?

No stays on the Sunday. City play same time as us in cl

[Kekule]

So City game moved ?

I think City are playing the same days. So it will be Tuesday-Sunday-Wednesday for both of us.

[Chris~]

So City game moved ?

Doubt it, City playing tuesday-wednesday as well. Think it'll have only been moved if either had the 2nd let on the tuesday

[rhysd]

What a hell of a couple of months we have to come.

Amazing time to be a Liverpool fan.
Trying to make sure I fully appreciate and enjoy it.

[rob1966]

If Atleti can get something at the Etihad, Guardiolas head will go, he'll be all over the place worrying and will likely fuck the league game v us right up.

[jonnypb]

Who are the players to swot up about in the Benfica squad?

Nunez, decent striker. Didn’t West Ham have a £60M bid turned down in January?

[Barefoot Doctor]

Correct, that was the only way it was getting moved.

Watford at home for the early Saturday kickoff before Benfica away on the Tuesday night is fine, and then loads of recovery time afterwards. Good news all round really.

[PeterTheRed ...]

2-0 after half hour, 70% odd possession, conceding no shots on target. I'm gonna say thats handled pretty easily.

That was LFC. And even we had the luck for Atletico to get red cards in both group games. Man City are not LFC. Emptyhad is not Anfield. This will be knock out games, not group games. I am sure that even you can notice the difference ...

Oh nice.

[Saltashscouse]

Anyone been on any Chelsea or City forums yet to see their reactions?!

Just popped on to see the reaction, fuck me there are some serious Scouse haters on that Blue Moon .
Look at this shite

I so want to beat the bin dipping, job avioding, catalytic convertor stealing, fan killing, blame dodging, phlegm producing, checken grieving, candle lighting, tragedy hugging, coach smashing, bottle throwing bastards in the final.

Only a bit though.

Such amazing condescension even when you've just been categorically proven wrong What a guy

[Billy Elliot]

Potential semi second leg away at Bayern, with a final in Paris. 1981 repeat.

I wonder if Bayern will leave leaflets for their fans out again, with directions to Paris.

[Red Cactii]

Don't agree Atletico is a bad draw for City think they'll handle them pretty easily

Atletico is definitely the kind of team that Guardiola will overthink it and roll out some strategy that plays into Simeone’s hands.

[PeterTheRed ...]

Who are the players to swot up about in the Benfica squad?

Darwin Nunez is by far their most dangerous player. Rafa Silva is probably the second best. Generally, they have a decent team, but nothing spectacular ...

They really need some new material.

How about ‘final winning’.

Jealous that are rivals are still United. Not so long ago they boooed us because we wasn't interested in their "Stand up if you hate Man Yoo" love in. Now they're trying too hard to have a rivalry. It'll always be United and Everton, sorry little Manchester City.

[afc tukrish]

Obviously there’s the potential for an all English final looming against 2 sides who you’d desperately want to avoid playing one against

Playing a final against 2 sides from Luxembourg would be one I'd want to avoid. Generally prefer playing against one team, me...

[Gray Hamster]

I reckon city have about a 60%/65% chance of beating Atletico Madrid but it will come at a cost

It's an absolute cesspit of unmoderated bigotry & hatred. They're c*nts.

[Armand9]

pefect draw for me in that we play euro teams and the final is what it is

I wouldn’t ever go in there.  The Mods don’t do their jobs. Amazed they don’t get investigated for allowing the level of abuse on their site, as social media content users, I’m sure have a responsibility to moderate appropriately.

[thegoodfella]

Excellent draw, would've preferred Villareal, but hopefully they knock Bayern out as well.

Shouldn't and will not take Benfica lightly of course, have to be professional, but it is still better that the two PL teams are on the other side of the bracket.

It's the stuff of dreams. I'm terrified I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning & realize I'm actually an Evertonian 

[Nice one, Barney lad!]

Chill out Swayzee.

Best laugh so far today.

I bet its the mods who post most of the bile on there.

[Nobby Reserve]

A city v Chelsea semi on the cards. No fans will make the tie a bit surreal, no atmosphere and a massive embarrassment for Uefa’s flagship competition, the game at Stamford bridge won’t be much better either.

I reckon city have about a 60%/65% chance of beating Atletico Madrid but it will come at a cost

More like 85-90% to be honest.

Lots of overrating of Atletico on here; they just about scraped through against the worst Man United team in over 30 years last round! They gave us problems away in the group stages but we battered them at Anfield before the red card; then went into energy conservation mode thereafter.

Plenty of underrating of the oil cheats too. Yes, they are horrible cheats but also win most of their games. I'd be shocked if Atletico even make it close. Best case is that they force City to work very hard in a first leg that happens on the Wednesday and somehow stay in the tie, whereas we get to play Tuesday and do a good job against Benfica.

Travelodge FC will find Real a problem I think but should just about get through. Bayern should handle Villarreal without too much fuss but perhaps the Yellow Submarine have one last surprise in store.

And despite what some of their more excitable fans say, we are probably the last team Guardiola would want to play.

538 has City at 81% to progress, which feels about right. We’re at 90%, which is fair considering Benfica is probably the weakest tram left. Interestingly their model thinks Villarreal have more chance of knocking out Bayern than Atleti have of knocking out City. Also predicts Chelsea to edge out Madrid, just.

[Mister Flip Flop]

City with a tough draw at last. They'll struggle to make the final in my opinion. Pep the massive over thinker is under huge pressure now.

Liverpool v Real Madrid final

1st leg: Tuesday 5th April  🏟 Estádio da Luz  ⌚ 20:00

2nd leg: Wednesday 13th April  🏟 Anfield  ⌚ 20:00'

Do the potential semi final dates get announced now or after the quarters?

[Mister Flip Flop]

Manchester City aren't a proper club so it will never be a proper rivalry. They'll hopefully go the same way as Chelsea are about to in the coming years.
