Real Madrid Vs Liverpool

Happy with that. Shut Benzema down and they have no threat.

[URZZZZ]

I have a feeling it’ll be a heavy based English CL SF this year

Can see all of City, Chelsea and Liverpool getting through to the semis here

Man City Vs Dortmund

At least Man City will be able to get an up close and personal look at their new striker...

Their top scorer after Benzema is their defensive midfielder on 6. That Vincious lad couldn't finish his dinner, Asenso has been rubbish for two or three years and Hazard is always injured.

Great draw for Liverpool.

Modric has been sensational this season, by far their best player

Real Madrid fixtures:

Tuesday 6th April - Liverpool (Home)
Saturday 10th April - Barcelona (Home)
Tuesday 13th April - Liverpool (Away)

That 'El Classico' timing may well come in very handy for Liverpool!

Him and Kroos are great. The only player in their team who can capitalise on it is Benzema. Shut him down and their threat is blunt.

Grenada vs Man Utd
Arsenal Vs Slavia Prague
Ajax vs Roma
Zagreb Vs Villarreal

Hard to see anything past:

Man Utd
Arsenal
Ajax
Villarreal

Ajax/Roma could go either way, I guess.

Could be a Man Utd - Arsenal final, the way the draw is, which just the thought of bores me.

Agreed but it was also hard to see past Spurs either, especially after the first leg, the beauty of knockout football!

Would be ironic though if Emery knocked out Arsenal in the semis (if they both get there) and then goes onto win the competition, would sort of sum up Arsenals existence in the last 10/15 years

So the new convoluted Champions League will be with us from 2024. Set to feature an enlarged single group stage first up, where clubs will play 10 (TEN) matches to determine a top 8 who automatically qualify for R16, with clubs in 9th to 24th (of a 36-team league) entering play-offs to determine the other 8 qualifiers (and I'm assuming that R16 round is then seeded).

Most controversial part of the proposal set to be approved is the inclusion of two 'wildcard' spots for the highest ranked teams by UEFA coefficient who don't qualify for the competition through their league system, which will make it near impossible for the biggest clubs ever to miss out (because you can only improve or maintain your UEFA ranking by playing in European competition).

Looking forward* to seeing how UEFA ensure that each team's ten fixtures are of equal 'strength'. Will presumably be done again by UEFA rankings, which is fine if your 'best' opponent is ranked 5th or 6th, not so much if it's the top seed.

Lol. BBC mugging me off - they've literally changed their story from 'changes agreed and will be ratified' to 'decision delayed until 19th April'.
