Pls.

Argglll. Thanks for reminding me. Topics merged ^^

I want to say PSG or City but I think it's quite inevitable that both of these teams face Madrid, Barca, Bayern at some stage before semis and get knocked as they just aren't as good as those 3.

Usually the surprise packages get a pretty favorable draw until the semis where they beat the favorite and reach the final. So luck plays a huge part.

-in 10-11 Schalke got Valencia and washed out Inter before semis.
-in 11-12 Chelsea got Napoli and Benfica before semis
-in 12-13 Dortmund got Shakhtar and Malaga before the semis.
-Last season Juventus got shitty Dortmund and Monaco before semis.
-Atleti was the exception having to barely edge out Barca in the Quarters. But conversely their semi was slightly easier beating a meh Chelsea side.

Lets say Arsenal finish 2nd in their group, the teams they might have to face in the R16:

Group A: Real
Group C: Atleti
Group D: Juve
Group E: Barca
Group H: Zenit/Valencia

Group B: United will likely top the group imo, void
Group G: Same with Chelsea, void

This is based on who i think will top the group, the teams don't look too endearing bar Group H

Another trademark R16 exit then

People like to put Arsenal's name somewhere or the other every year even when they themselves know they wont do shit. You guys are like the default (anti) jinx team these days (for their teams to sneak in quietly behind when all the focus is on ars).
And you guys always fall for it and take it seriously. lol. Just remain low key and see how things pan out . You guys have a good team this season, not denying that. But ..for the time being. nice and easy mate.

Arsenal fans be the kings on online polls

Manchester City if Auguero is fit and on form in the knock out stages.

I think Bayern is the top Dark Horse and could cause some upset to the CL title contenders
