1/8 finals teams. Dortmund Milan Arsenal Athletic Atlético CSKA Moskva Dynamo Kyiv Lazio Lokomotiv Moskva Lyon Marseille Plzeň Leipzig Salzburg Sporting CP Zenit
On current form the only teams I would be fairly confident of Dortmund beating would be Plzen, Leipzig and Salzburg. And maybe Arsenal given their fragile mentality. Teams to avoid are Atletico and Lyon.
I hate this competition. I hope we never have to play this again. Atletico doesn't belong here. Had Diego Costa joined in the summer, they'd likely be neck and neck with Barcelona. And in a group with Chelsea and Roma, they'd most certainly have won.
Why the hell do you want Atlético to be successful slash? F uck 'em, they are a scumbag Spanish club. I almost expect you to change your allegiance to them any moment. As for the Europa League I know you hate it but does that mean we should throw away our only shot at silverware this season? Hell no.
It's not that. I like their business strategy. They are hard-working and they are up against a corrupt, state supported club to which banks are lenient or powerless. And then there is Barcelona too, Qatar's darling. I'd support Cholo even if he were Brazilian.
Um, Atlético are sponsored by the government of Azerbaijan, so they aren't exactly paragons of virtue.
Nobody said they were Quinton. Those oil merchants have issues of their own. Couldn't come up with the funds to buy Wednesday. What exactly is your point here?
