Interesting draw this year, with matchups such as Tottenham vs Dortmund, United vs PSG, Atletico vs Juventus and Liverpool vs Bayern. Thoughts and predictions?
My predictions:
City win against Schalke
Atletico gets their revenge against CR7 by beating Juve by playing on the counter
(Delusional ik but still lol) United somehow nick their way past a PSG that bottles CL games with classic Mourinho tactics
Dortmund beat Tottenham with an advantage in CL experience
Barcelona batters Lyon
Roma defeats Porto
Ajax exposes Real
Liverpool takes advantage of Bayern's lack of speed and wins convincingly

apart from the city schalke the other 7 pairs are ver interesting and balanced (maybe not so PSG vs MU but i don't trust PSG that much yet)

City is a lock
Liverpool ,PSG, Barcelona and Dortmund should have the upper hand

the other 3 could go either way ....

I hope i can get a ticket for the ATL-JUV game

I definitely think we have a shot against PSG, they play relatively slow compared to top English sides as a French team and rely quite some on their front three to score. If Mourinho does the usual and manages to stifle their front three while being able to mount counterattacks a win isn't impossible.

I hope some team retires Mourinho.
His teams always play ugly, and when his teams lose he blames his own players.
Never his prepared tactics.

JM actually managed some pretty exciting teams. But since Inter he settled with the parked bus expecting his strikers to do something magical and score.

True, especially at Porto with Deco and Carvalho.
He got relieved of his duties. I heard it just now.
