Juve / Brugge/ Galatasaray / At. Madrid
We will play one of these sides in the CL Last 16
Cant complain with that.

No easy games now JLC, hopefully we carry on our love affair with the CL a little longer….

At Madrid will turn us over. We are a weak side when up against brute force.

The same Athletico we beat in Sept you mean. Some people can't see the trees for bile.
I know our season has been a shocker but come on.

We were fantastic against atleti, somehow managed to concede two dumb goals all the same though. If we defend decently well we should get through comfortably if that is indeed who we end up facing.

I wouldn't like to play against Atletico because they are physical, and while we beat them in september, we had better momentum then. Additionally, in that game we made mistakes, as Patrik pointed out, which are mistakes that we haven't solved this season.
I don't care about the old saying that there are no easy games in the champions league. I do not think that is true because teams will always have better matchups than others and for us Atletico is NOT a good matchup at all compared to other 3 (even if Galatasaray already beat us earlier).

By dumb goals I don't mean that we defended badly, they were very flukey goals, unlike a lot that we have conceded since then.

Same Ath Madrid that just got turned over by Bodo/ Glint?

An inform Liverpool team would beat any of these teams. Under normal circumstances it's a good draw, so there can be no excuses. Unless it's Gala and there fans start whistling ?.

JLC, Brugge at their ground are a very formidable team esp. in CL games. I live in Belgium and watch them play esp. in the CL and they are not to be messed with. Many a team have struggled there, for real.
Away from home? That is a separate issue. Regardless, any of these opponents will be very tough.

Preference would be Brugge or Gala and then Juve and Athletico as the last one.
2 leg knockout football is a different kettle of fish to the 36 team league format.
