Win the 2 fixtures we are supposed to and no worries. I liked the draw, not to mention how much I loathe ManU. Can't wait until that matchup.
Benfica fans couldnt ask for a better draw....10pts will be enough to get out of this group 3 wins and 1 tie
I like the draw, obviously Manchester United are the favourite and the strongest in the group. I can see us getting a tie perhaps in one of the matches. Overall good draw for the Portuguese teams in the CL.
i was so happy we ended up with United, because then we couldn't get City from the third pot! Should come in first or second.
If we dont sweep the bottom feeders of the group, I will be pissed. We should easily progress. Hopefully we Man U at the Luz since we all know its going to be rough waters in england.
Possible opponents in the Round of 16: CSKA Moscow Napoli Lyon Bayer Leverkusen Zenit Milan Marseille
Disagree I think best outcome is Marseille. CSKA has alot of speed upfront, they would cause alot of problems to our back line, especially if Luisao is injured.
I'd gladly take either one, but I'd much rather take on Vagner Love and Doumbia then the likes of Ayew, Gignac, Lucho, Cheyrou, Valbuena, Mbia etc. Marseille is a better team.
I'd like Benfica to take on Zenit, just show a certain group of people how it's done, and to clear up any misconceptions on who the best team in Portugal is.
I look at it like this. Doumbia > Gignac Vagner Love > Ayew Honda > Lucho The rest of the Mareseille team is better your right. But those 3 in the front worry me alot.
Not bad We play them first in Russia right ? Will be interesting to see how our Argentinian players do in the frozen tundra.....
I'll gladly take Zenit. Decent team, but look at all the other adversaries we missed. Thank God for 1st place in the group. Porto vs. Manchester City in Europa League! Sporting vs. Legia Braga vs. Besiktas, definitely want to see this match. Braga vs. Benfica's Sidnei, Simao, Manny, Almeida, Guti etc.
