I’m scared of a semifinal derby… losing that would be beyond devastating.
Yeah, it's like when we lost to Schalke.. i don't know whats worse honestly, at least at that time we already won the CL some year before but it was really terrible to lose this way. I could not sleep that night and probably i won't too if we lose a Derby in the semi.

For once we got a good draw. We drew Porto> Benfica> Milan/Napoli until the final.

OMG.

Inzaghi can become a legendary coach ( or out of work in the middle of April)
Yes, this is a fantastic draw, we have a real chance to reach the final.

I took it well enough being out of the CL only cause it was Inter but if Inter doesn´t knock Benfica out I´m gonna be so mad...

Yeah City and Chelsea will be in one bracket and Real with Bayern will be in the other.

Real Madrid vs one of us and Milan is probably a given.
Biggest game UEFA can afford in the QFs. They'll want Bayern, Real and City in the semis.
I'm glad UEFA shut up your conspiracy theories.

I don't believe we will beat Benfica in this form we are right now. I am hoping for at least one win, for EU points.

While I see Milan playing a lot better against Napoli and going through. Cheering for Napoli tho

I like this draw cause there is no excuses for Pussymone now. If you lose to Benfica(idc how good they are,they are not Real or City) you are an ex my friend. We have a great chance to go even to finale. Imagine that...Benfica,Napoli,beelan, they are all beatable.

If only Lukaku, Brozović, Barella, Lautaro and Skriniar played on their best level so we could at least play an italian team in the semis because that would be fun.

Players themselves should be hungry enough to push for more because things couldn't have gone any better. This is a perfect opportunity for these whom never played at this level of Champions League. We need to be careful with suspensions especially, and hopefully Lukaku will bounce back. If not at his best, then at least to not be a complete dogshit.

It's easier said than done, but this could be a turning point for this team. I know that Inter never fails to disappoint but this could be something that even players could feel the importance of it. If I was a player of this team, personally I'd try my best to push myself to the limits and achieve the glory. And I'm saying that semi final has to be the least we should be aiming, if not for more...

The fact that somehow a lot of you here believe that Milan, the team that in the last 2 months have lost 4-0 to Lazio & 5-2 to Sassuolo (at home), and it its most recent match couldn't manage a home win against relegation battling Salernitana, will win against Napoli, who are extra motivated given the importance of the potential achievement they can make this year + can also pretty much play their 2nd team in all the remaining matches of Serie A and still win it, is just bonkers.

Yeah, at least we don’t have to worry motivation (hopefully) - this is a real chance to reach a CL final, these losers shouldn’t need anything else.

I wholeheartedly believe Milan will win and I want them to. We need to get back at them for what happened in 2003.

In 2023, that game would have gone to ET and we could have been the ones to beat Juve in the finals.

I hope there's no mental gymnastic going on here, this is the best draw we could have got. Definitely the oath with least resistance
This post below me, made before the draw happened seems to slightly disagree
City and Bayern will kill us at half sped.

Real will look unimpressive but still ease their way to 2 wins while we look like a bunch of spastics incapable of kicking a ball in the right direction.

Whoever said Benfica isn't better than us or Milan, no way. Their league might not be great but they're murdering it. And does anyone think we'd go undefeated and top a group w/ PSG and Juve in it? Zero fucking chance.

Chelsea are crap but still have the talent to run all around us. We'll make the likes of Havertz and Joao Felix look like world beaters.

We can beat Napoli, but over 2 legs with one of them in Naples? Doubtful.

We want Milan and I'm sure Milan want us.
