      The draw was made for a less glamorous team to reach the final.

        Napoli probably the best team in Europe this season so I’m not sure I agree with that Rover. If the top teams had been kept apart, people would be saying it’s a fix so it’s a better final.

          It seems more or less evened out, albeit Chelsea are caught up on the wrong side of the draw (me thinks). Unfortunately, I still for them put this down to the fact that I’d have been more confident with Tuchel than Potter.

          I think Napoli and Inter will progress on the other side for the Semis. If Man City beat Bayern and Real, the trophy is theirs. They’re going to need that high-press engine and certain key individuals to deliver.

            Tough draw for the PL Clubs left in the competition although Chelsea have done ok v Real Madrid over the last two seasons beating them on the way to winning the Final in 2021 and losing 5-4 on aggregate last season but overall it looks like mission impossible given the semi final draw too. But then again the thrill of CL is to play against teams like Real and Bayern.

              Ultimately, it’s pride and being proud the English clubs have come this far and potentially can partake in the semis. That’s definitely recognition in itself.

              As long as players are conscientious and give it their best shot, that’s all you can ask for.

              Patience however is tested when players think they can casually turn up and not properly apply themselves. And you can’t focus on just one part of the pitch to bail you out. There are reasons why these teams are where they are and they have quality, but ultimately professionalism in their attitude and approach.
