Indeed, like when we won it.

Correct.

Technically, it's possible to have 6 English teams, if the winner of the Champions league also finishes outside top 4.

You never know, Barca are a bit more complacent nowadays. Roma anyone.

Porto are just the type of team that will knock Liverpool out. Like us against Seville last year.

That's new, previously if say we came fifth but won the CL it'd mean fourth would miss out, like Spurs when Chelsea won it.

The Europa was an additional place but not the CL.

From Wikipedia: "From the 2018-19 season, the top four clubs in Europe's four highest ranked leagues will qualify directly to the group stages."

United or Barca v Juve final.

Wonder if the scouse are shitting the prospect of getting to the final against Juve.

Doubt it considering they managed to blow them away last time they played despite having the likes of Traore, Dudek and Milan Barros in their team

Decent price at 20/1 to win it

The old man (a blue) had a couple of quid on us at 40/1.

Great draw.

We can beat Barca. And from then on it's only Liverpool/Porto away from a european cup final. Lets go!

Yep. We're much better away from home and it's very dangerous if you play away first and don't get the away goal.

It's a glamorous tie, a real European giant. Can't wait.

I accept Barca are favourites but they're not what they were and have gone out of the quarter finals for 3 years in a row for a reason. Messi is not the knockout game robot Ronaldo has become....

Liverpool? They could not beat us. If this old and shit Bayern side can hold them at Anfield and probably should have grabbed a goal or two we can. As for Old Trafford. These guys could not touch us at Old Trafford a few weeks ago when everything that could have gone against us, went against us. They have a shit record at Old Trafford for a reason. While we have the best record at anfield of anyone.

First let us deal with the Catalan boys.

and we do owe them big time for '09 and '11.

Yes but unfortunately, they're still miles better than us.

Didn't you say the same about PSG? We're not favourites but this Barca team are beatable and the fact we can play on the counter gives us a decent chance.
