Fully expect Real to win it again.

Real Madrid have done it so many times and they have a great team with so much firepower. They will probably win it.

But I would not rule out PSG who will be up there. They are young and look like they are at the start of a cycle too.

And Barcelona.

Iā€™d be surprised if the winner is not one of the three.

Itā€™s boring, isnā€™t it? But still better than the Abu Dhabi cheaters winning it again I guessā€¦

Imagine the nightmare, Kane with a double

Bayern arenā€™t good enough sorry there I said it. I enjoy the German league but there isnā€™t enough to win this.

I always hated the new format.

Even when I said I loved it, I hated it.

This. Nah I just think we got a bit shafted considering at looking the crap Arse and AV have to play.

1-0 Lille.

Jonathan David canā€™t stop scoring.

Yeah, and with Barcaā€™s draw we would have cruised through to the semis at least.

Iā€™ll eat my pants if Arsenal survive the Madrid teams.

I expect Real to beat Bayern in the final.

Iā€™d be ok with that, Real winning it means nothing

Nah I want Atletico to shithouse their way to the win.

I canā€™t stand another Real Madrid wankfest, and I donā€™t want any other English team to win, nor a sportwashing team. Definitely donā€™t want Bayern Munich getting ahead of us, nor Barcelona getting level. That doesnā€™t leave a very large pool to choose from.

Not really bothered who wins it when weā€™re out. Though I like seeing different winners of competitions in general. Good football will be enough for me.

I suggested a more American system which would have worked fine but it would be even more fun to have the seeded teams pick who they want to play in a draft system. Imagine the broadcast drama - live TV of all the top 8 choosing their own opponent and then the schadenfreude of some teams losing to a team they chose to play.

As I type this Iā€™ve decided its the best idea ever.

Former Dortmund player Meuiner with a slight nudge into Guirassy in the box and goes down (never a pen for me), but Dortmund are awarded 1 which Can converts. Level on aggregate.

If you are running at top speed, which Guirassy was, you donā€™t need a push with a Mack Truck to go downā€¦
