Champions League KO draw: Who do you think we’ll get?

[RedDevil@84]

We'll get PSG again. It's clear by now that someone has put a literal magic spell on the club that ensures we get the worst possible draw in any given knockout competition.

It is called fixing.

Someone was not paying attention at stats class. It's 1/8

From this point on its 1/6 to get PSG, but before the 1st draw, the odds of doing the draw twice and getting the same team both times are 1/36... how did you get 1/8??

The worst possible draw would be Bayern or fecking Madrid.
PSG are not even that good.

I swear some people banter themselves. We cannot play the same team from our group and we cannot play Chelsea.

And then permutations don't work like that.

We cant get them as group winners

Oh, yeah, I'm dumb. Still PSG is not that big of a deal.

thanks

Couldn't even rig it successfully. Glad they are redoing it, but if we wind up with PSG again..

The weird thing is- if Utd had got a favourable draw and then it was re-done then UEFA would’ve been accused of corruption that way too. I imagine if Utd get an easy re-draw and Liverpool/City a more difficult one then all this talk of fixed draws will suddenly melt away!

 

[Dante]

Feck off

 

[ha_rooney]

Of fecking course

 

[tyunited]

There you go ffs

 

[KingCavani]

Hahahaha. We get the one option that was actually worse. Atletico are an absolute nightmare matchup for us.

 

[Aretak]

God, that's actually worse I think.

 

[Tarrou]

we got shafted there

 

[Idxomer]

Good draw, Atletico is shit.

 

[Raw]

Some people are really overrating Atletico here.

 

[NicolaSacco]

Fixed?

Must be.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

fecking Chelsea

 

[RUCK4444]

I don't know how I feel about that. Just happy not to have to play PSG again, nice to get a different draw.

 

[Chicharo]

They are nothing special, they barely managed to escape the group and they have lost tons of points in La Liga. Better than PSG

 

[always_hoping]

Another tough draw against that crowd and all their antics. Any chance of re doing the draw again?

 

[Dansk]

You lot are insane if you'd rather play PSG than Atletico. While they're a tough opponent, they're nowhere near as deadly as PSG. We're talking about a team that currently sits 4th in La Liga below Sevilla and fecking Betis, and on equal points with Real Sociedad in 5th. It's a significantly better draw than PSG or Bayern.

 

[spiriticon]

Can't decide whether Atletico or PSG are worse.

We probably won't beat either anyway

 

[DrRodo]

I watched the Madrid Derby yesterday and Atletico are not all that you guys make them out to be. Surely a better fixture than fecking Mbappe Messi Neymar et all

 

[Desert Eagle]

Show me the maths

 

[Rightnr]

We'll play PSG in the QFs. Book it.

It's PSG without question, they have a couple of gears they could get up to.

Atletico are just not that good.

 

[Betson]

Would rather play Atletico than PSG , they are not the team they were a few seasons ago.

But we will still be underdogs , because we are seen as a soft touch in Europe these days.

 

[Tarrou]

Fixed?

Must be.

I don't know why anyone would bother fixing it but we got a shitty draw for sure

 

[sdb4884]

Probably better off than playing PSG. Still think we will get destroyed though unless we have some new signings in January.

Destroyed how ? Atletico do not score that many goals

 

[Abraxas]

Come on, it's a far better draw.

They're a lot more savvy and stable than us but not having to deal with the genius of Mbappe and Messi makes things significantly easier. We have the quality to give them a good game whereas we're up against it with the players PSG have and it's more of a defensive job.

Isn’t that like saying you are behind West Ham?

 

[Bertie Wooster]

I always want us to get an 'easier' draw, that gives us the best chance of victory - as opposed to the 'interesting' (bloody hard) draw that some prefer. So Sporting, Salzburg or Benfica would be my preference.

But I'm expecting us to draw one of the other three, in particular Atletico or PSG.

Amazing, we actually drew both Atletico and PSG. F*****g farce.

 

[Kablamo]

Congrats on winning your group guys.

 

[kouroux]

Wherever we are, it's a no brainer than facing Atletico is better than PSG

 

[TrueRed79]

AM is a better draw. Liverpool beat them handy enough. Look at how poxy Chelsea are. Them and City always get handy draws.

 

[Himannv]

Don't you mean: rig it?

 

[Ixion]

It's a slightly better draw. There's less chance we get blown away at any point, should be a tight set of games.
