Champions League 2013/14

Nearly draw time...

*crosses fingers for playing away leg first*

*crosses fingers for all other teams to be disqualified somehow*

Oh BBC.

With the exception of Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea have met all of their potential quarter-final opponents in the Champions League before.

For Real Madrid, the Cup Winners Cup (1971) and/or Super Cup (1998) count as the Champions League, apparently.

Barcelona v Atletico Madrid

Real Madrid v Dortmund

PSG v Chelsea

Man United v Bayern Munich

AMAZING

[MDK]

Barca vs Athletico

Real vs Dortmund

PSG vs Chelsea

United vs Bayern

United gonna get whooped

[Baddar]

Bring on Bayern, I guess.

[MDK]

So Barca, Real, Chelsea and Bayern in the semi's

[Baddar]

Sounds about right, but there's normally a shock of sorts - PSG have a chance.

[Colly]

I don't think it's that easy to predict, even over two legs I could see either team winning in the Barca and Chelsea games.

I might even stick a cheeky few quid on Man Utd outright since the odds are probably decent and football is kerazy.

[MDK]

To be honest, I would enjoy seeing United win the CL, just because I do love a good underdog story

[stokeriño]

Being an underdog just because you've spent 9 months falling short of your own lofty standards is different to being a proper underdog, though.

[MDK]

I think this is the start of them being an underdog for many years to come

[EddieG]

Hasn't Atletico done the double, or a draw and a win against Barca in La Liga?

PSG won like 5-2 on aggregate.. they stand a pretty good chance against Chelsea I'd say.

[Matt]

I'd probably fancy Athletico to beat Barcelona to be honest, not been all that convinced by barca in big games this year.

[brenchill]

They beat Leverkusen, didn't they? Even Man Utd hammered them.

[Nerf]

Yeah, Atletico are an even more impressive cup team. Could see them advancing tbh.

[stokeriño]

PSG won't be easy (virtually no one would be), but having the second leg at home makes me confident. Hopeful that I can get a ticket to the Paris match as well...

[brenchill]

I fancy Chelsea over 2 legs but I think the lack of a striker will ultimately be your undoing.

[Nerf]

They have Eto'o, Torres and Ba...

[stokeriño]

Even Torres likes to score in Europe.

[TCO]

Some tasty ties there. If I had to call it now, I'd put my money on Bayern, Chelsea, Atletico and Real Madrid to go through.

Barcelona have been a shell of themselves so far this year and Atletico a re a very strong side that could easily turn them over.
