Porto vs Liverpool
Ajax vs City
Juve vs Spurs
Barca vs Utd

Think this looks like a realistic draw

One of the PL teams would be such a Debbie Downer for the first European game at NWHL. I will pray to Odin that it shall not come to pass.

If we're to go in reverse order of most likely to win it

Porto
Ajax
Man Utd
Juventus
Liverpool
Man City
Barca

I do fancy the game against Ajax even though they're a top side. I think it would make a great tie overall. Both clubs are young and exciting to watch. It would be close but I think we can win.

Ajax or Porto would be ideal. I'd rather play Ajax for the fun of it but in terms of going through I think we're more likely to beat Porto.

I do love how we keep getting called a young squad, when in reality we’re not anymore. It’s actually quite an old squad now. One for Poch’s perception and reality Netflix show he’s making.

Well I guess that depends on what is considered young really. I get what you mean but still a number of players haven't hit their peak years yet.

Please avoid City, Liverpool and Barca.

Dream draw Ajax, Porto also good.

Barca will rip us a new one. So will Pool and City.

Sad to say but it kind of feels we are making up the numbers now. At the end of the day as fans we know we just aren't that good this season. Maybe something magical will happen in the CL for us this year, but I can't see it. We don't have enough about us this season.

I just have this feeling we won't be flying overseas to meet our next opponents....Ideally I would like Porto but a little voice in my head says "City next" (n)

I see we are being touted by Juventus as the team most would want to play and they may be right but I find it annoying that a team that can spout this is only there because of one player and boy would I love if we got Juventus and Ronaldo was injured.
I may be petty in defending our club but so what at least I'm not arrogant to the enth degree.
We played Real Madrid in the same competition last season, Ronaldo played both games and we ended up 4-2 winners over the two games.

I feel like people want Ajax because of the Spurs-Ajax connection, they could really surprise us imo, especially considering if our form is like this. They look dangerous af, think I'd rather Porto or United.

I actually don't care who we get.
I'm looking forward to the first European night at NWHL and the noise we will make will be LOUD!
Yes, there are teams I'd rather avoid- but FFS- WE ARE IN THE CL quarters finals!
This is just fantastic and I for one am enjoying the roller coaster of this season.
NOTE: my 50th birthday is June 1st! And I can think of no better gift than the one I hope my wife is going to give me in Madrid! COYS

Just remember. It's a cup. Certain players who may well be off in summer will be well up for it. One leg at our new home. It's a cup. We're in a bit of a funk at the moment but anything could happen. COYS.

Anyone can beat anyone on any given night. There are no gimmies. Of course, on paper some look easier than others and more preferable though. Ajax would be a cracking tie between two teams who I believe are equal. Two quality stadiums too.

Personally honestly, im more concerned with getting into next season's CL rather then who we actually get tomorrow.

Make no mistake, I hope we can progress. But even if we get a nightmare draw, let's make a right fist out of it with the expectations that the atmosphere will be so electric. It will serve as a taste of what we can expect when we get CL in the stadium's 1st full season.

If we get the tie most of us hope for (Porto) then advance/crash out and miss out on top 4, we have to wait at least another season to possibly experience CL in the new stadium which will be such an immense shame considering how much we have been looking forward to bringing CL back to our own home.

So enjoy tomorrow's draw lads and embrace whatever draw we get, and hope we are in it again next season.
