CL Quarter Final Draw: Arsenal v Bayern

Who do we want? I’m praying @Rex Stone boys Atleti preoccupy themselves with Man City. We don’t want any business with them but I’ll be honest XL Bully Mik vs XL Bully Diego would definitely be a tasty affair

Don't care much about Barcelona either way. City because it's the most sensible team to damage immediately, Bayern by far if it's about who I hate the most

If we didn’t have City in the PL near the fixture then I wouldn’t mind taking them on tbh but three games vs them in a short space of time would get a bit boring. I think it was 08/09 when we played United in the semis and they knocked us out then we played them in the PL straight after and they drew with us.

I wouldn’t mind Bayern as I can’t stand them aswell lol

I remember 10/11 I think when there were four clasicos in two weeks, that was football at its peak imo. Was in Barcelona for a couple of them, every game felt like a World Cup final

Let’s do dortmund, PSG and Madrid in the final

 

[Melquiades]

They’re obviously all tough but I’d prefer PSG or Bayern. Neither is what they were and stylistically I think we can rip both open.

 

[RunTheTrap]

In order of most preferable to the least:

Dortmund
Barca
Bayern
PSG
Athletico Madrid
Man City
Real Madrid.

 

[Sanchez11]

Bring me Real Madrid!

WE WANT CITY

You're in Europe for the first time in for God knows how long and you want to play City, who you play all the time?

 

[BaZZe]

I think just based on pure statistics, the more times you face the same more or less evenly matched team a season. The lower the probability is you win every game against them. We're already going to play City 3 times this season at a minimum. With a 2 legged CL tie that would be 5. So no, avoid City at all costs.

 

[lamby22]

Barcelona would be my first choice. Then the 2 German teams. Atletico would be murder to watch but we owe them - for ruining Wenger's last European game for us and also for selling us yellow box.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Order of who I want:
1. Barcelona
2. Dortmund
3. PSG
4. Bayern
5. Athletico
6. Real
7. City

I'd probably swap Dortmund and Barca, but that's pretty much as I see it as well.

 

[bergholt]

Guaranteed to be Atletico

 

[Gooner Zig]

Tears in my eyes at thought of being back in Europe's elite. Don't care who we face but I'd rather it not be City or Atleti

 

[db10_therza]

I assume that CannonStats chart is purely based on the team's performances this year in the league and UCL. Nothing else.

Not the level of the squad or the history of the club achievements.

It was based purely on betting odds. Hence the “house edge removed” disclaimer…

 

[MikeVinna]

I’d like Bayern or Barca. Would rather not face City or both Madrid sides. Anyone else I say we have a decent chance. Atletico Madrid would be a nightmare.

 

[TH14shahriar]

Draw in a couple of hourse, big moment, big big moment.

 

[Makingtrax]

We'll get Dortmund 100%

Arteta luck

 

[Lakersgooner24]

Would prefer either Dortmund (weakest on paper), Barca (for obvious reasons), or PSG (feel it'd be an entertaining matchup that could go either way).

Don't want City (boring to face PL teams), Atleti (have the nous to beat inexperienced sides like us), Bayern, or Real (neither seem as formidable as they tend to be - especially Bayern - but they've still got the mix of world class talent and pedigree that can prove crucial in close ties).

With that said, none of the remaining teams seem unbeatable, and if we have to face a top side, this season feels as good of a time as any to do so, before the likes of Bayern strengthen considerably and Real sign Mbappe and co.

 

[King87]

Forgive my ignorance, what time is the draw?

 

[Tir Na Nog]

This is the most stacked the CL has been in a long time at this stage I'm pretty sure. If you swapped out for a Dortmund for an Inter (or if Liverpool were in it). It'd be the 8 strongest teams in Europe or at least the top 10.

Most likely whoever we get is a contender and it'll be a real tough mentally and physically challenging affair. So it doesn't make that much of a difference beat anyone and you prove you're a contender.
