Champions League Draw today

DO people really not remember the Barca game, Barca barely tried, Ramos/Marcelo just ran out to close people down, missed and left gaping holes, Alonso had the worst game I'd ever seen him have, at fault for half the goals, the fullbacks at fault for the other half, Khedira was invisible. When Real got a goal and have a bit of posession they then turn it on, but in games where its not going well for them they tend to get more and more withdrawn and thats when Ozil/Di Maria in particular just completely vanish from the pitch.

How Real have done against the bottom half of the table isn't really relevant, Spurs defence , well if Ekotto isn't having one of his bad games, then its better, if Ekotto is having a bad game and Corluka can't deal with the pace, its probably not far off evenly matched, even so Corluka and Ekotto rarely over commit to tackles the way Ramos/Marcelo do. if Spurs play like first half against Milan, second half and second game against Inter I think they have a good chance.

If they sit back and hope to keep Real out, they'll get thrashed, that second leg against Milan was lucky, if Milan could finish they deserved to win that game and take it to extra time.


Hopefully the Chelsea/Utd game isn't another league style "who can be the least rubbish" game we've been seeing all season.
 
Glad Spurs avoided the other English teams. Spurs haven't embarrassed the Premier League like so many predicted, so everything from now on is a bonus. Bring on the big boys. :)

Lots of hate in a thread about a draw.

Looming forward to Manu Chelsea
Would love to see Spurs get tanked, doubt it will happen.
Other 2 will be boring.

Why??? It's the best kind of draw you want in the ECL. If you're not playing the best, we be in it... Might as well stick to League cup..



Absolutely :)

Oh I totally agree, especially if I can get my ticket sorted, but for ability wise they, Real and then probably Barca are pretty much the best two sides left in it on their day!

If I get tickets I'm sure it will be the best tie ever, after just missing out on Inter away by 9 points :( Few stupid away games should sort that out though!
 
When I first heard the draw I wasn't happy but looking back on it now, I'm pretty satisfied.

Manchester United can beat Chelsea and the same can be said vice-versa. It's just down to who turns up on the day. Then again when I see Carrick, O' Shea, Brown, Old man Giggs and inconsistent Scholes in their line-up, I do wonder how they do it :o
 
Sad to see no all Spain final is possible. I don't see Man Utd beating Barca and Real but can see them beating Chelsea.... maybe.

Great draws. Barca by far have the easy draw out of the bunch and Spurs continue to face the biggest clubs in Europe in this cup.
