Porto and Inter were evenly matched. I'm hoping for a Milan derby in the next round

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Stone cold fox.
Crowd seemed a bit flat too. Just seemed like there was an acceptance it wasn't going to happen. They only really upped the tempo for a few mins and came close 3 times.
If they played with a bit more urgency they might have had a few more chances because Inter are fecking rubbish.
Very good question.
Conceding seven, pah. Embarrassing..
7-0 for City! Shiieeet. We could do with that scoreline against Real.
Napoli is a top top team this year and the four or five teams behind them are evenly matched, crucially not playing for scudetto anymore so that cup runs are their main focus.
Not a whole lot between Roma and AC Milan this season. The former can't be counted out of any cup competition with Jose in charge.
Milan derby would be awesome for the neutrals and would absolutely kill both teams 
I just feel absolutely nothing about Man City winning by the huge margin tonight.
All I see whenever they even win a game is:

I fancy Napoli as dark horses for the tournament. Hope city get Bayern next round. 3 Italian teams through… don’t often see that.
Watch city get Benfica in the next round.
Same. No matter what they achieve or have achieved it is simply of no consequence because they cheated to get it.
Benfica will twat them
Glad I switched to that game at HT
That would be tasty QF
City will probably get the easiest draw so they’ll get either Milan, benfica or Chelsea.
Would love to see City get Napoli next round. Pep would probably go full 'Beautiful Mind' when trying to devise his tactics to prevent their counter attack.
Hopefully City get Bayern next round.
Weird game, on the one hand City deserved to win and RB were pretty shit.
On the other they should never have got that pen, and then after that pen they should have been down to 10men at 2-0 up.... but then, I don't think either would have changed the overall outcome, just the scoreline.

I wouldn't call Benfica an easy draw. They and Napoli are the dark horses.
My jinx worked well
napoli are the most undark dark horses ever.
Got a feeling it will be City v Chelsea.
They usually get a easy draw in 1st round and after that it get's tough enough to be able to overthink it and bottle against a side they could win if they perform for their players standard
No but one of the easiest games for them. I’d say Madrid, Bayern and Napoli are the hardest draws.
Would be great to see Napoli win it, though I think their relative inexperience in big CL games will prove their undoing. Then I suspect next season, they’ll be the usual gutting of their big stars (see Dortmund, Monaco, Atletico etc).
I’d be surprised if the winner ends up being anyone other than Bayern, City or Real.

Benfica vs Napoli final ?
?Scenes in Naples with 600 Eintracht fans + Atalanta ultras walking loudly in the city, and without a ticket for tonight game. This is not going to end well, innit?
I see a certain Anthony Taylor will be the ref in Naples tonight..
holy shit....those scenes are crazy
rubber bullets and start arresting these guys...find out if they really are from Frankfurt and if so, kick them out of european competitions for the next 2 years

They may not be the instigators in all of this. They arrived into Naples as they already had their flights & accommodations booked, and everything was peaceful until the Napoli ultras arrived into the city centre to get involved. The violence only erupted once the Napoli ultras started throwing flares, fireworks, and other such things at the Frankfurt + Atalanta ultras and the police in between.
ahhhh.....so the footage is a bit misleading and doesn't tell the entire story. Still an issue though if they are attacking the cops
Is that Madrid's strongest XI?
