CL Round of 16 Draw: Dortmund

[Glenda's Legs]

Barcelona away as a dead rubber!
(Yes I’m getting carried away).

Looking forward to all of those games.

Not sure Barcelona away as a group decider is a good running order!
Especially with Inter's easiest home game on the same night. We will need to have knocked Inter out by then.

As long as we've qualified by then, doesn't matter

As Real Madrid showed, finishing top of the group don't mean sh1t. (Though I'd still like us to finish top haha).

Just booked flights for Barca away
Absolute carnage with the flight systems

Great stuff, thankfully one of the lads who works in travel does all our bookings so i do not have the aggro.

Any Idea what the allocation is likely to be?
Demand will be high so will require mega LPs I guess.

I’m well versed with it but the way the airline stake a booking and then “chuck it out” when it comes to paying (so the can increase again) is scandalous

They gave Pool 4800 but tha was over 10 years ago

No idea TBH but I’ve got a decent amount of points and we have lads with a lot who do t do away European games wh we can use

 

[Gazza]

I bet poch is hoping to make espanyol proud as a secondary thought

I assume for all the away games?

No the Barca away game x3 people on the booking.

Went through the psyment process then given a message saying confirmation won't arrive for 'a few hours' - what use is that to anyone?

 

[Lemonade Money]

We should charter a flight next time. Probably cost the same.

 

[metalgear]

A few years a go I would think good test, but now I want us to win the CL. Barcelona and inter are always going to be tough. Not happy with the draw

Good draw. Would maybe have preferred a team that we could do a good bit of rotation against but otherwise we're not travelling too much, one great team, one historically great team that perhaps isn't as great as the name suggests and PSV.

Would hope we cn still get through the group!

Not a bad idea. Imagine the scenes...

do you reckon it would be easier to go our for a long week rather than day of or before the game?

Group B
Barcelona, Tottenham, PSV Eindhoven, Internazionale

Tottenham, having negotiated a brutal group in 2017-18, found the draw no easier this time. They will still wonder just how they managed to lose to Juventus in the round of 16 last season when they dominated for all but about half an hour of the tie. The key is to process that experience and develop, just as last season they improved on the year before, but that will be far from straightforward.

Increasingly, the ideology-led approach of Barcelona seems to be fading, as they become just another club signing top players. Despite the arrival of Malcom and Arturo Vidal, this does not necessarily look a stronger Barça than the side that lost in the quarter-final last season. Inter are in yet more transition. Having made a series of intriguing signings, bringing in the likes of Radja Nainggolan, Kwadwo Asamoah and Stefan de Vrij, they have begun by taking just a point from two winnable home games. PSV, meanwhile, are under an inexperienced manager in Mark van Bommel.

Prediction 1 Barcelona; 2 Tottenham; 3 Inter; 4 PSV

Star player Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
