And we'll face Madrid or City in the semifinal if we get there ... 'kinell we got the hard half of this draw.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 chance for Saka to prove he’s a world class at Wembley.
Bayern Munich, yaaaay. Only the 40th time we've played them in 10 CL seasons.
Place a bet on Kane getting a goal for free easy money.
Lukazan they won’t get a single goal against us. They’re managed by a football terrorist. And champions league knockout ties have been very low scoring last two seasons
Sicario2 - Tier 1 As Ric Flair used to say, To be man, you gotta beat the man.
Qwiss If we get past Bayern I actually think I would rather play City over two legs than one, same for R.Madrid as well.
Well..... I guess we're gonna have to do it the hard way if we want to win
Beat Bayern, beat Madrid and then beat Barcelona in a Wembley final. It's like a comet flying over a battlefield in antiquity. A chance for young men to become immortal gods has arrived. 😶
Musiala, Sane and Kane running in the transition against us?
Fucking hell, I'd pack the midfield, Jorginho, Partey, Rice and Ode all to start. Saka and Martinelli as wide strikers.
daredevil nah Havertz centre forward at Bayern to complete his redemption arc
Bad draw for Semis but both times we are at home first which will suit us and Arteta because it forces him to go for it at home and build an advantage. He can't be conservative anymore.
Final in Wembley... our 2nd home... last year of this format. Hope we can try our best to reach the final.
Clrnc all the games are tough. Nobody is incentivised to land the killer away goal blow. So it’s just about not conceding. But I’d rather just defensive than defensive and violent
Fuck Bayern.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 nah look at Chelsea's first CL win.
Qwiss
I mean they beat Bayern in Bayern, doesn’t get harder than that
Don't mind this draw at all. In fact if we put in good performances we'll be able to be proud of whatever we achieve.
Heads will be spinning among both the players and coaches today, I'm glad we've got a long break just to process the arrival of this challenge.
Bitter sweet draw. Happy to avoid Madrid and City, bout route to the final could have been better. But it's the CL I guess.
To be fair, I am just extremely happy to be among the big teams in European football again. Getting to the quarters is a good accomplishment already for this young and inexperienced team and we certainly have every chance of beating Bayern, but it will be a hard tie.
USArsenal We won't be going out to any unfancied opposition at least. Nothing much to lose but some high-priced scalps to take.
Bayern is a challenge but then they haven't been great just about beat a poor United team at home and shipped goals in general. Kane does worry me with the history but it's a tie we can win I think and if the team don't let the moment inhibit them.
Tough fixture if we made it through the the semi but once your at the semi that's always a realistic possibility.
Great to be in this part of the tournament though.
Don't forget Bayern will have no fans at the Emirates. Let's kill the tie in the first leg
Clrnc
What do you mean mate?
Should definitely go there with an advantage, highly unlikely you kill a tie in the CL in one leg at this stage though.
The CL is one giant mind game, you could have a 2 or 3 goal lead going into a second leg and completely freeze / overcomplicate it. Would rather have the home game in the second leg.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 1 hardish game.
Sicario2 - Tier 1
The "if you want to be the best you have to beat the best" expression is true in that you have to beat a team in the final, but obviously the chance of beating easy teams on the way there + beating the best team in the final is worse than the facing harder teams on the way there + beating the best team in the final.
This could be shown by using simple probability calculus.
