No chance they are making the q/f
Not in the next round - country protection.
Which teams have made it to the Champions League last-16?
Seeded
The top teams in each Champions League group are seeded and second-placed teams are unseeded.
The eight seeded and eight unseeded teams are placed in two separate bowls, with one picked from each to determine each of the eight last-16 ties.
The eight seeded teams can face any of the other eight unseeded teams (and vice-versa).
Seeded
- Barcelona (ESP, Group F)
- Bayern Munich (GER, Group B)
- Juventus (ITA, Group D)
- Liverpool (ENG, Group E)
- Manchester City (ENG, Group C)
- PSG (FRA, Group A)
- RB Leipzig (GER, Group G)
- Valencia (ESP, Group H)
- Napoli (ITA, Group E)
- Real Madrid (ESP, Group A)
- Tottenham (ENG, Group B)
- Dortmund (GER, Group F)
- Lyon (FRA, Group G)
- Chelsea (ENG, Group H)
- TBC - one of Shakhtar Donetsk, Dinamo Zagreb or Atalanta
- TBC - one of Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen

So we can add Atalanta (who jumped from 4th to 2nd tonight with their win in Shaktar, and Dinamo losing to City) to the list of 5 teams we could get drawn against. On the minus side is the fact they probably are better than Shaktar and Dinamo Zagreb but on the positive side we should still beat them and we won't have as far to travel or freezing temperatures to adjust to.
Yep in order of preference
Atalanta
Lyon
Dortmund
AM
Real
Atalanta
Lyon
Dortmund
AM
Real
Hard to argue with that.
Shit, just realised we can't be drawn against Lyon..................
City have 5 potential opponents in the next round too, Napoli, Real Madrid, Dortmund, Atletico Madrid or Lyon..............given Man City's incredible run of easy draws in all cup competitions for the last 2 seasons it will very obviously be City v Lyon.

Ha ha. City Real would be interesting
Why not?
Read the whole post.....City v Lyon is guaranteed because otherwise City would get a tough draw. It was an attempt at humour Mojo.
- Lyon – we will beat them and can also scout a few players
- Atalanta – very disciplined and tactical
- Real – won't be disappointed if we get them; our players will be up for it and we can wreck their season by eliminating them
- Dortmund – one of the few clubs that can match us with emotion of the home crowd, it would be a real battle
- Atletico – the worst draw for sure; hope City get them
Is that saying there's no same country restrictions, and that we could draw Chelsea or Spurs?
That is what it says counsel, but it is incorrect .
Have to say, PSG are looking a real threat this year. With Neymar back, their quality in attack is among the best in the competition and Tuchel seems to have forged a better team structure and spirit than they've had in years.
To illustrate the latter point, this is what Neymar, of all people, said after the game:

Would of course be more happy with Lyon and Atalanta than the others.
So what would like to see ?
I'm going with this (bookies odds to win it in parentheses) :
Liverpool (9/2) vs Lyon (100/1)
City (3/1) vs Real Madrid (8/1)
Spurs (25/1) vs PSG (7/1)
Chelsea (33/1) vs Barca (6/1)
Juve (12/1) vs. Dortmund (40/1)
Bayern (8/1) vs. Atletico Madrid (25/1)
Valencia (100/1) vs. Napoli (40/1)
RBL (40/1) vs Atalanta (100/1)

Strange odds, I'd price them something like..............
Liverpool 4/1
PSG 4/1
Man City 4/1
Bayern 7/1
Barca 9/1
Real Madrid 12/1
They've every chance which is why I priced them as joint favourites, but I can't see why the bookies have them as short as 3/1. Unless, maybe the bookies are factoring in the facts that we might be distracted by our chase for our first League title in decades and City might be freed up by being out of the title race soon.
If they avoid English teams they have a big chance

I used to love him as a player. Arrogant twat. Hope we meet them and slaughter them home and away.
Isn’t there a history of people chatting shit about us before big games and getting knocked out?
