      More than happy to be drawn against Real Madrid in the quarter finals.

      I think Benzema is the most suited striker for Nat and Kabak to face up to

      Aside from ourselves.......

      Dont be surprised if the billionaires both get mugged off in the quarters

      yeah there's some tasty matches there, City vs Dortmund should be an easy win for City but Dortmund will have a go and we have seen that City still get a bit twitchy if teams have a go.
      Bayern vs PSG is anyone's guess, that is simply impossible to call, both teams have tonnes of superb players and plenty of experience but Bayern are probably the more balanced side so I'll go with them.
      Chelsea vs Porto should be fairly simple for Chelsea but then I expect Juventus thought so as well.
      Us against Real Madrid, sure they aren't the same as a few years ago but they are still a good side and we'll need to play well to beat them, I think us having the return leg could be a good advantage, maybe some fans back by then?

      Agree with this. He’s not lightning nor the most powerful likes to hide after a few hefty challenges.

      Should just mean we play Wednesday so?

      We play Villa live the following Saturday on sky  so 2nd leg Tuesday would make sense

      Because the domestic fixtures were already in place Id guess. Its nothibg out of the Norm. Well play Saturday before the 2nd leg so 2 days off between both games

      They did the fixtures a week ago knowing we were through. Nothing out of the norm because they never do anything to help their own teams. Bundesliga often puts teams on a Friday the weekend before European games.

      Real are an older, less dynamic team which suits our slower defense but who obviously have tons of experience and we need to be careful against.

      My only regret is not having a full team to go at them and properly put them in their place.

      Let's get Real done first before we start thinking ahead. Not the team of recent years but hopefully apart from CBs and possibly Hendo we go against them full strength

      1st leg is Apr 6th so it may not be out of the question that Hendo is  back by then. Would definitely assume he's back by the 2nd leg on the 13th.

      That cant be official as we play in the 4th in the league, no way we play Sunday Tuesday then play Saturday Wednesday

      That's what i saw in the ESPN article. I guess i should have been more clear. 1st leg would be 6th and 7th and 2nd leg 13th and 14th. So maybe we would play the 7th and 14th? Not sure how much better that works for us.

      Hendo is out for the season, if we believe what we're told.

      Assuming the draconian restrictions are still in place, then going by the last round, the away game v Real will be at a neutral venue, and both legs v Porto would be at neutral venues, if we were to play them.

      The nearest date for fans attending would be the final, for our Turkish fanbase only.

      I think for some reason you play Tuesday then Wednesday or Wednesday then Tuesday which is odd

      This is why you watch Champions League, two royalty of clubs going at each other, maybe not at their strongest, but still a glamorous occasion, just glad Bale is on English ground this time round, still have nightmares of that goal.

      Good draw. We cannot complain. If we cannot beat this old lot then we don't deserve it. We'd avoid City/Bayern till the Final. Now, Phillips/Kabak need game time and we need to stay healthy. Maybe a rotten season still ends well.
