[Football] Champions League - QF/SF draw

[Weststander]

Interesting set of ties, glad to see Real Madrid unable to hog the trophy this time.

 

[Triggaaar]

Was known in advance of the draw.

Seems sensible to me. Manchester Hotels would be RAMMED.

Could have swapped the Spurs vs City game instead. City will go through anyway, but instead we've disadvantaged an English team to the benefit of a Spanish team.

 

[Is it PotG?]

All things being equal, Barca could play both legs away and go through.

 

[Easy 10]

So Utd have been shafted? Who got to make that decision?

They finished lower than Man City last season, thats how the decision is reached in these instances.

Europa League:

Napoli v Arsenal - They'll have to switch it... Arsenal will play at home first, on 11 April.

Slavia Prague v Chelsea

and they have avoided each other in the semis.

 

[Titanic]

In the first semi-final, the winners of Napoli v Arsenal will play the winners of Villarreal v Valencia

and the second semi-final, the winners of Slavia Prague v Chelsea will play the winners of Benfica v Eintracht Frankfurt

Fair enough

Spurs at home April 9th which means our game away at Spurs on Sunday 7th (if we lost to Millwall) will now have to move back to Saturday

is pogba suspended for barca game or is his red wiped .

Don't wish to be rude - but who cares?

Saturday lunchtime, I'd guess. Possibility of Friday evening too.

Academic though, really. *cough*

Pogba will be available. Red card in first leg v PSG was a second yellow so was suspended for second leg of that tie only.

It's quite possible that Barca could put United out in this round, the dippers out in the semis and then play Ronaldo's Juve in Madrid in the final. That would be fantastic

Or a Catalan love in with Pep, again in Madrid. Equally fantastic.

Or it could be a Manchester Derby in the Champions League, and a London Derby in the Europa League!

 

[Paris]

Or it could be a Manchester Derby in the Champions League, and a London Derby in the Europa League!

Would be very moving in more ways than one.

 

[LVGull]

Agreed. I think United could well end up getting utterly humiliated. Which would be really lovely.

They were missing a lot of players though.

 

[LVGull]

What’s the chances of an all England CL & EL Final? Has that happened before?
