CL Draw - Bayern vs Arsenal

[Lager-back]

Apart from Arsenal -v- Bayern there are no other "giant ties". Kai, UEFA's seeding system is scarily efficient. Somehow kept the Big Guns apart from each other; making it virtually certain that only teams from Spain, England, Italy, and Germany will reach the latter stages - as usual.

So what other ties were you expecting?The is no walk away game for any team.Its a balance draw.PSG vs Barca is another tough draw.

Have you seen PSG in ligue one this season ? Barca will tear them a new hole. Whats new

What's PSG VS BARCA?

I think that's an eye catching tie

[platinum]

I knew it would be Bayern all along. Arsenal can beat them. Bayern ain't clicking on all cylinders this season yet.

The Germans are not as good as they were under Pep and I think Arsenal has as good a chance as ever to knock them out. BUT it is FC Bayern Munich and they're coached by a man who knows how to navigate that competition. Should be fun.

Bayern vs Arsenal - ARSENAL
Leicester vs Sevilla - SEVILLA
PSG vs Barca - BARCA
Leverkusen vs ATM - ATM
Porto vs Juventus - JUVENTUS
Benfica vs Dortmund - DORTMUND
Real vs Napoli - REAL
City vs Monaco - MONACO

I like your prediction Oga Plat Hope it comes to reality but I will not write Bayern off its more balance context.
Hmmm I doubt Monaco can knock City out,i will not write Leicester out and PSG.

If both sides play to their peak, Bayern will beat Arsenal. I just don't know that Bayern will be at peak until LATE this season. They're still struggling to find what works best POST-Guardiola and that struggle for an identity is made harder by the fact that they MUST also deliver results so what you have is a situation where sometimes one feels they're just grinding out results. Arsenal has a good chance but by no means is Bayern a slouch.

I also agree that City should beat Monaco but remember that Monaco side that knocked out Arsenal? Remember what made them tick? I think they have all that and a bit more sharpness this time around. Simply put, if City make mistakes, they will get punished.

Leicester v Sevilla? At the start of the season, I marked Sevilla as my 'sleeper'. They'll give Leicester something they've not seen before. I think they edge it.

PSG? Barca are going to blow their doors off. PSG are like Bayern, they're struggling with the new coaching transition. Like Bayern except worse.

These are all projections, February is a LONG time away in this sport.

Bros please don't compare league form with CL form,i mean on their good day they can beat Barca,yes I have seen their league standing 3rd So I have seen Leicester league standing yet was one of the first team to book their place in round 16 after 4 games.Look how spurs was doing well in league but was out of CL in a more decent group you will expect them to make round 16.
Barca has an edge and even Barca has been poor in league also it will not be an easy tie for Barca.

[wiseone]

A game in which Barcelona will be playing as red hot favourites against a rich team from a much weaker league.

Bro Plat, I love how you conveniently overlooked the wild card factor : the fact that clubs like bayern and PSG are more hungry for CL success this season than winning their respective leagues. Carletto was especially brought in with an eye on potential CL glory having been a proven winner on multiple occasions. My point is when it comes to CL predictions, league form is usually not the best indicator. Chelsea of 2012 (our worst CL squad ever) should give you a better indication. At best it's 50 /50 wrt both match ups with slight edge to bayern and barca.

Pep should outlast Monaco. Bet on it. Them Leicester city Seville fixture is similarly 50/50 tho slight edge to Seville. But Ranieri has been at this level before so I expect them to put up a good fight.

LCFC v Sevilla

The Best League vs The Tactical League

[wale1974]

Arsenal don enter one chance again...................

[Skylolo]

Kai this is not funny, even if we had come second it would have been from frying pan to fire to face Barca.....Na wah o.

It will be settled on the Green, it is a 50/50 for me...this aint Pep's free flowing Bayern.

I see Manure fans who are not there and wont be there next season either are happy, Europa league heavyweights....

[wiseone]

The good news for Arsenal is that at least they do not have to play Barcelona again.

I saw a bit of the Atleti game but the last bundesliga game i watched was their game against leverkusen.

G4L,

Fair points. Bayern desperately want the UCL where Arsenal's focus may be slightly more about the EPL.
I agree wholly. In the UCL, a month is a long time, I think February is a long way away.

I will take Bayern than Barca so am glad we finish first and we can put up a fight and hope get pass them.
Issue is injury and players form come February will be key to the tie.

It looks fix.... Barcelona vs. PSG has happened 6 times in the last 5 years. Why do Arsenal vs Bayern, Arsenal vs. Barca or Barca vs. PSG keep happening every year if isn't fixed?

[danfo driver]

Gotta love Arsenal fans sha. .. Run their smelly mouff every year.

The most funny part is Tunisia Gunner talking about "Lazy sentiment is always want happened in the past will occur in perpetuity." does he realize that arsenal fans have spent the entire past doing exactly what they are doing now? Beating their Chicken chest before being thrown out like a worthless prostitute?

"worthless Prostitute"

coming for same dude that is Jose Mourinho's longest serving concubine that is quite rich.....

my comments truly hurt your soul, didnt it? Going to be fooked again in the CL, have a wretched season and finish 4th rinse and repeat. Must truly hurt knowing that your club will fail, come what may. You know for a fact your club will NOT Win a major trophy. Fact. perhaps, you need to stop spreading your cheeks for that pedophile, wenger. Brainless whore from Tunis

Gooners to beat Bayern
It's the 4th time they've met in the KO stages and they've lost 3 times.
But nobody does 4th better than Arsenal

Whore of Tunis, we all know what wenger did to you when you were just a little boy. That's why even after all the humiliations, you can't turn against your first! Sewer rat!
