City v Borussia Munchen Gladbach. Arguably the best draw we could have got.

Barca v PSG is a bloody good draw for us too.

Great draw for us. Chelsea got a tough one, Dippers will be happy enough.

First leg matches 16/17 February. Second legs March 9/10. I think as winners of group phase City play their home leg in March.

Got to be happy with that draw

Hopefully we have a full house if the wankers in government allow.

Hard to get excited by draws when we have lost to inferior teams in the last 4 years in the knockouts.

I think we nearly need a decent team to get a performance out of our boys, our best champs league performances have been real madrid and psg when we went in as underdogs (or level).

Maybe clean sheets and no attacking is the way to go??

Was it Steau Bucharest who bored us all the way to the European Cup once? Or Red Star Belgrade? Can't remember

I know it’s only europa but rags have drawn Real Sociedad David Silva and all, interesting

Hey, hey, watch it!

They did that in the final, versus Barcelona, in Sevilla. 0-0.
But during the tournament, they were a beast, especially at home. 4-1, 4-1, 0-0, 3-0 in the semi. At that time playing in their home was a nightmare for any team in the world. I think it 88, Spartak Moscow, who was considered at that time the best team in Europe lost there 5-1. They had a great stadium, the fans behind the goal, really difficult for any gk. And their manager was really into attacking football, similar to Pep, but without the Brainfarts.

So you were thinking of Red Star.

Cant wait for it.

Steaua scored 13 goals in the competition when they won it, Red Star 18, in the same number of matches. So it's probably Steaua

Most likely John was mistaken.
He better if he doesn't want some problems with the secret police.
