Who do we want in the last 8 of the Champions League?

[offside_ruel_fox]

Ajax

Hoping to wow De Ligt with the new stadium so he signs next season ?

 

[coys200]

Ajax would suit us in that they play open football. Atletico probably worst nightmare. But anything can happen in a cup competition. In reality we won the Dortmund tie in the last 10 mins at Wembley. We’ve shown on our day we can pull out crazy wins. Just need 2 more big performances and 2 more professional performances and we could in a CL final, madness lol.

 

[hutchiniho]

Yes - Ajax/Porto

Ok - Bayern/Roma/Lyon

No - City/Barca/PSG/Athletico

 

[Flashp]

Ranked from best to worst draw, assuming PSG and Atletico are through after the results in the first leg:

Porto
Ajax
Roma
Lyon
Bayern
PSG
Liverpool
Barca
City
Atletico

Ajax would be great because of the affinity the clubs seem to have with each other

And a couple of nights in Amsterdam is always good fun!

Is that where it is?

Don’t worry I’ll d’oh myself ...

Yeah I was thinking of the final in my head - I’m kinda jumping the gun just a tad aren’t I ??

It’s this, and the fact that they are an open, slightly naive team who I think we could take advantage of, and our ex-Ajax players will be extra motivated as players always are against former teams. All in all, it’s an intoxicating prospect.

We’ll obviously get City though...

Sounds like you need a couple of nights in Amsterdam, it won't clear your head but it'll stop you worrying about it.

I wish I’d known about the Spurs/ Ajax affinity when me & a couple mates got into quite a pickle with a group of them in a club in Ibiza one time in the late 90’s. Could have been most helpful

Always found wishing for certain ties etc. only leads to disappointment & anyway at this stage they're all pretty tough. I mean look at Ajax, I'm sure RM thought of good last 8 here we come, especially after they were 2-1 from the 1st leg & looked what happened. It's all on the day or two days in the case of these ties & who's available to play, so whoever we get it's going to be a difficult tie.

Porto or Roma would be my choice

 

[worcestersauce]

I bet there are fewer teams who fancy getting us than there were.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Bayern are the obvious choice.

Historically big team.

They are beatable this season.

It means Liverpool are out.

Ajax.. because with 4 former Ajax players on our books and VDV a club legend for both teams, that's just about the only time that the half-and-half scarves are ever acceptable..

Edgar Davids too

 

[EastLondonYid]

We lost to Burnley and beat Dortmund

Does it really matter who we play? probably, but you know what i mean.


Nothing to lose at this stage,and hopefully playing in our new stadium makes us dangerous.

 

[dricha1]

Anyone any idea how much we will have earned for reaching the Qtr finals?...

 

[lillywhites61]

The amount of ex Ajax players between us and currently would make it a good tie, our boys would want to beat them for sure.. And some of their current team would want to show how good they could be.. would be a very interesting tie
