Disappointed we won't be at our strongest for this. But if we take the right approach I think we can test Barca at home.

[Dirty Bird]

Free = 20 quid? :s

 

[moomba]

Think MCFC should pick up the difference, would only cost them a few hundred. But you should never have to pay more.

 

[Magma]

the ticket prices from barca are just ludicrous.

I got these seats for 19 euro.

May or may not have been a mid week game, with a 10pm kickoff, in a cup game, against a tier 3 side, in the 2nd leg, already up 4-1.

 

[Loonerty]

City v Barca and Arsenal v Bayern will be crackers, can't wait for those.

Obviously hoping for a Chelsea win at Galatasaray, but it's going to be a very difficult away game.

I just have a bad feeling the Drog will be rampant haha!

My winners. Moyes to get sacked after elimination.

 

[Zidane98]

Moyes has done alright in the CL. Can't see Olympiacos eliminating United. In the unlikely event it did happen the Glazers would surely have to sack Moyes and move on.

Sheikh Mansour could shout half of your fan bbase and he'd barely notice the difference.

Monsieur Platini and FFP doesnt agree.

 

[Magma]

hopefully dinho will be back, at least we have some sort of cover for nasri and kun. all 3 back would be lovely though.

 

[moomba]

Fernandinho is the key. If he's back (and fit) I'll be much happier.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Manchester City 5-3 Barcelona
Bayer Leverkusen 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain
Arsenal 1-2 Bayern Munich
AC Milan 0-2 Atletico Madrid
Zenit Saint Petersburg 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
Olympiacos 1-1 Manchester United
Schalke 04 0-2 Real Madrid
Galatasaray 0-1 Chelsea​

Should be good, after 4 months Gala are starting to peak under Mancini just at the right time.

I just have a bad feeling the Drog will be rampant haha!

Hasn't been great in the league this season but always steps it up for champions league games

 

[Cruyff14]

Bayern will smash us I think. No Ramsey is a huge blow.

Mourinho is smart enough to realise, but we can't rely on winning at Stamford Bridge to get through. We have a tough League run straight after the second leg of this match, so ideally we'd want to try and at least win the opening leg so we can find ourselves in a position to rest some players in the second leg.

[Benno_900]

After last night, I fear what Bayern will do to us.

Talk that Ribery may miss the first leg though.

 

[iluvparis]

I don't think anyone that plays away in the first leg will lose their tie.

All 4 English teams. Beautiful.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Can't wait to see the reception Drogba gets during the 2nd tie.

 

[Dirty Bird]

All 4 English teams. Beautiful.

Sarcasm?
To be fair, the 1st week games had the right decisions.
And on the 2nd week, one could justify Gala-Chelsea over Schalke-Real.

But Olympiacos-United over Zenit-Dortmund?
Only 2 reasons I can justify that is 'the weather is better to relax in, in Greece' and 'visas are too hard for Russia'. Nothing about football, all about the production companies comfort and expenses, so neither reasons are worthy. ****ing SBS going Olympiacos-United rather than Zenit-Dortmund >.<
