Results last night were perfect.

Not sure if I kinda wanted Milan second as well to have more Serie A sides and give them hope, only to face Bayern or Real and get their asses handed to them. Maybe they can go deep in EL even, but it'd be funnier if PSG was in EL instead.

Two PL clubs bottom of their group brings joy to Eupalla
But their teams are going to go as far as possible in the other two tournaments, so not sure if we can avoid that 5th CL spot going there.
City back to back will be tough but it's possible. Arsenal needs to get eliminated in the R16. Hopefully by us, or Napoli I guess.

Based on league performance we were shit last season. Why does that matter?
They topped the group of death.

Some people were expecting Dortmund to finish last in the group but here they are topping it. They're a weird team and very unpredictable. They have quality in some positions but seriously lacking in others and that's why they're so inconsistent.

They're definitely beatable but it won't be a walk in the park.

Barça has a weak mentality right now, we can murder them. Give me Borussia, Arsenal, or Barça.

City-Madrid-Bayern we have a negative record. But some day it should change.... i guess.

Atletico would be the most equal games of the round if we get them. We are very similar to them in many things this year.

Yeah I don't think it's likely.

Would be absolutely hilarious if it happened as that new CL format was tailored for EPL clubs since they've complained how they get "only" 4 teams in to the CL.

Barca is not clicking atm but their individuals are too good to be aimed for. I mean, this shit:
Cancelo - Kounde - Christensen - Balde
Pedri - Gundogan - Frenkie (Gavi injured)
Felix - Lewan - Rafinha
That's baffling how many top players are willing to even reduce salary to join them. For free. Their attraction is crazy.
Arsenal is too fast for my liking.

Milan could be potentially drawing Brighton, so they should be able to knock another one out :D

But Emery with Aston Villa is probably going for gold in the ECL.
Liverpool on the other hand will depend on their draws and PL situation, but I reckon they reach semis almost automatically.

German clubs on the other hand depend on Bayern's CL progression and favorable draws in the other two.
Spanish teams are also in the race, but without Sevilla and with just two other teams in the EL and none in the ECL, they'll need to win both with all Spanish finals I guess to make amends for the failures of the rest.

Let us hope that we will not face these teams in the next round (AT LEAST): Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munich.

Of all the tough opponents, Dortmund would be a good draw I think.🤞🤞

Barca, Dortmund or Arsenal for me. Arsenal mainly for the ease of access to a game.

The worst draw for us is Atletico, second one is Real, I don’t care for the rest, even City or Bayern.

The only team I do not want is Atletico, they are the dirtiest team that is still in the competition.

I want us to prove we deserved to reach CL final last season. What better way to do that than to beat a Barcelona, Bayern or City?

My fav. is Barcelona, I want to play against them, Inzaghi is too good for Xavi.

There’re rumours running around that Xavi might be fired soon but yeah current Barcelona looks beatable to us.

I think Barca has many good players. Xavi however is not really a top coach out there.

Between now and the next round, there is still alot of time where anything can happen. Teams might suddenly be in good form, bad form. Therefore it's hard to say which opponent would fit Inter right now.

I think Inter, on their day, stands a chance against every team, although ManC - RealM - Bayern will be favourites in their matchup against Inter.
