    Has everyone on this forum lost their minds? Real Madrid would be the absolute worst match-up we could get, because with the exception othe 2000-01 season and the 2010-11 season all clubs who eliminated RM from the Champions League ended up not winning the competition, so we better not hurt our chances.

    That feels like more superstition over a coincidence than anything else.

    I know it's superstitious as hell, but still I think it's best not to take our chances.

    Grats guys!!

    Despite losing key players you still managed to get through in some style.

    What's the injury situation heading into the QF?

    It would be an interesting tie. We've changed a lot since when we met in klopps year, it would be cool to see it play out with our attack against your defense.

    I'd like to avoid a trip to Spain, Munich and Turin. But that's a pool of 5 teams so odds are against us. That said I'd really like to see Bayern vs Madrid in the next round.

    I'd like to see Barca Real in QF. Non of the are playing at their best. One of the should be knocked out.

    Yeah same here. I think it would be an even better tie this one around, because I am noticing that you like to keep the ball more and are able to string many good passes together. Juventus are the team just made to counter that. It really will be interesting and could go either way. However I have faith in my team cause of history, especially our curse in your stadium, but whatever. I hope we either get you guys or Man City next round if they make it.

    I hope 2 of Real, Barca, and Bayern draw each other next round!

    Tuchel deserves a lot of credit here - he has apparently been spending a lot of time with Bartra focusing on mentality and composure (similar to what he did with Miki).

    yeah it would be a matchup of strengths vs strengths, and it would be very entertaining to watch. I would prefer we both get easy draws in the round of 8 and meet in the Semis
