The CL is kicking into gear now. Very tasty fixtures.

I actually think it's a great draw for Arsenal at this stage. City versus Real over two legs as well is a great contest.

I'd give Arsenal a slight edge, but they might be distracted by a potential title run-in.

City vs Real is pretty even. City as slight favourites because of Real's injuries.

I'd fancy PSG purely because of Mbappé.

Atletico should bully Dortmund overall.

The winners of the City tie play the winners of the Arsenal tie in the semis

Very lobsided. Arguably the best 4 team's on the same side of the draw. And we arguably two of the best teams in Europe Liverpool and Leverkusen not even in the competition it presents a great opportunity for 1 of the teams on the soft side to win a title.

It could be Simeone's time. 

The poor bastard will probably end up losing another final vs Real.

Similar to last year with City, Real and Bayern on one side and Inter coming through to get to the final.

Leverkusen just about scraping past Qarabag would suggest they've a long way to go yet to be in that category

I suggest that you watch that game. 

They created 10 big chances and missed 7 of them. 71% possession and 33 shots.

And they are still unbeaten this season. 37 games played. 32 wins. Just 5 draws.

It's been a big enough sample size to consider them one of the best teams in Europe right now.

It'll likely fizzle out next season like it did for Napoli after losing Spalleti and Kim. Alonso and a few of the players will likely leave in the summer.

What happened them in the away leg, only drawing with the mighty Qarabag?

Not to mention Qarbag having 10 men for over half an hour last night.

He rotated for both games and still went through, that's what.

You got called out on talking sh*te and now you have an attitude. Cute.

I'll be amazed if Barcelona reach the final. Heavily relying on teenagers at the moment.

It would be a funny way for Xavi to exit. He's already confirmed that he's leaving, but maybe he'd change his mind.

They're not one of Europe's best sides and never will be. 

Liverpool will destroy them if Leverkusen manage to make it to the final

Nobody said that it would continue beyond this season. But as of right now, they have played 37 games since August 12th and remain unbeaten. They are quite clearly one of the best teams in Europe this season. They're a better team than Bayern at present. Proved that in both games vs them.

Liverpool has nothing to do with anything.

Yeah probably or city. Would love to see them do it though.

Lads Leverkusen are clearly one of Europes best ATM. You could pick any of Bayern, Asna, City or Madrid and say they only drew with such and such recently to claim they're not allowed that.
