Champion's League & Europa League Draws

[Seann]

Some good games that are both occuring in the champion's league and Europa league. Arsenal vs Milan will be the pick of the draw, although I think Arsenal may win that even though Milan have a stronger team. Chelsea have difficult opponents, Napoli took 4 points of Manchester City in the group stages. Should be easy for Madrid and Bayern, although Barca are going up against a last season's German champions Bayern Leverkusen.

 

Europa league is hosting some good draws aswell, former european champions Man utd and Ajax take on each other, as well as last season's champion's take on Porto. City can field a 2nd team and they could win it with ease, but I hope Porto win as I do like their team. United will field a strong team and will take it seriously, it's another trophy.

Some tough draws for the english teams. I`ll go out on a limb and say that both the english teams will go through to the CL last 8.

 

Not looking forward to playing Napoli though, a devastating front 3 could really rattle our shakey defence.

 

Gooners will have a hard time, its AC.

 

Looking forward to City > Porto too. I'd love to see city embaressed further.

Italian sides' record against English teams is soooooooooooooooooooo poor. I'm quietly confident about Arsenal vs AC Milan and I reckon Chelsea will beat Napoli.

[Ben√]

Arsenal will flop and let down the English teams and Chelsea will beat Napoli.

 

Utd and City will both field weaker teams and qualify.

[HighElfPriestess]

City and Utd will continue to pretend that they don't care about the europa league while fielding strong sides anyway as its their only chance of silverware this year (chelsea will come through the rest of the season 100% and win the prem.)

 

Chelsea will also win the champions league with an 8-0 win over barcelona in the final and robin van persie will break his leg in the milan game causing arsenal to close and become a field hockey team.
