Yep, now should we give it our all to still try an win this game or save players for the game this weekend ?
We are not playing well in our last few games. We are limping in to this weekends game against Sporting. The way we are playing, I have to say that Sporting are favoured
Holy Crap, you guys didn't even have to play, Kiev gave you a half a dozen helpers. Congrats on advancing.
Congrats on getting through, doesn't matter who it is I'll stick by Portuguese teams in Europe. However, the pleasantries shall end there as we have a massive game on Sunday!
So we can draw: Arsenal, Barcelona, Atletico, Monaco, Dortmund, Leicester or Juventus. Leicester would be ideal
That pass from Rafa is worth €16.1m alone. https://t.co/naedpz9RJk— Jan Freðrik Hagen (@JanFHagen) December 11, 2016
We narrowly lost to them, alhough they're much more threatening with Reus - however if you guys can get a result and contain Aubameyang you have a chance. It was always going to be a tough match no matter who you got.
Dortmund's form has been hot & cold, they can rout 6-0 one game and lose the next game 1-0. Barca, Arsenal, Atletico and Juventus I consider to be tougher in a knockout scenario
Dortmund has so much young firepower it's scary. Aubameyang, Reus, Dembele, Pulisic, Mor are all nasty and will give the back 4 issues

Real Madrid could have beaten Dortmund by 4 goals in that last game. Real were very unlucky. Dortmund also have issues back there. Granted, we are not Real Madrid but hopefully we don't give Dortmund too much respect. They don't deserve it.
Hell I wouldn't give Real Madrid too much respect. Just, Dortmund is a top 5 team in Europe this season. I'm sure RV will have the team prepared properly. Best way to get on a little streak in Liga

Very good chance our Stadium will be known by another name next season as LFV is really keen on sponsorships. Emirates Stadium II, anyone? Doesn't matter to me, just give us alot of money.
Don't worry about that... You can keep call it such way... always. At least until the stadium is situated where it is, of course.
Alright boys, Champions League time. I've watched more Dortmund than any team other than Benfica this season. Here's my thoughts. Borussia Dortmund is a very good team. Their attacking players are first class. Aubameyang is the best number 9 in the world not named Suarez, Lewandowski or Costa. Dembele and Pulisic are two of the best up and coming attackers in the world. Reus is amazing. Also, Weigl is a stud as a trinco. And well know what European Champion and life long Benfica supporter Raphael Guerreiro can bring to the table. He has been lining up as a box-to-box. However, their back 4 and goalkeeping can be exploited. The center backs leave open a lot of space. Jonas and Mitroglou will have opportunities. Winning in Lisbon is not only achievable but should be the goal. Thinking 1-0 home win.
