2023-24 Champions League, Europa League, & Conference League Draw Thread

I understand naming your kids after rock stars, movie stars, religious figures, or a tradition in the family. But naming them after Home Alone of all movies and entertainment is ridiculously stupid and hilarious at the same time.

I mean it’s all dumb but what ever floats your boat.

I don't know, I guess I want to agree in spirit, but the last thing I want to judge is what something means to someone, however dumb it might seem to me.

Yeah, maybe the parents first met at the screening of that movie or whatever. Lots of celebs give stupid names to their children, like Beckham naming his kids Brooklyn, Romeo or Seven.

Union SG sold 8 of their 11 starting players from last year. Toulouse definitely has a shot.

They also fired their coach (ridiculous !). Their recruits seems very average (which is obvious since they didn't get any transfer fee for all their best players except one so they were broke).
And they just sold Chaibi, who was arguably their most talented offensive player.

It's not tasty if the two weakest 1 pot teams face the two weakest pot 2 teams.

You will never get a perfect draw, sadly.

It's tasty for La Liga teams, potential to see 4/4 advance

With all due respect for Sociedad and PSV, but that matchup would clear the path to semifinal for whoever gets the winner in the quarters.

I have a six hour drive to Copenhagen so that would be preferable for Arsenal.

That must be a very scenic trip!

Mostly just huge fields of nothing

Slightly better in the summer. Good opportunity to drive through to the German boarder for some cheap beer though

I would not underestimate Sociedad. I already warned you.

Of course there is no bad teams left in this competition but they would be the ”easiest” draw. That you cannot deny right?

Right now I think Barça might be an easier draw than them lol

 

[Incubajerks]

Sociedad and Dortmund seem to me to be the most affordable for the runners-up.

 

[Brunkmeister]

I could very well think of a revenge for the defeats back in the days

 

[gary69]

PSG against Real Sociecad, they must be happy with that.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Very unlucky for Real Socidad but they do have a chance to go through

 

[gary69]

Real Madrid probably with the toughest draw, facing Leipzig.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Spanish teams with the toughest draws IMO

 

[gary69]

Not the best of draws for Milan in the Europe league, would have liked them to avoid Rennes. Well, at least they will get to play against some nice French young attacking talent.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Real Madrid probably with the toughest draw, facing Leipzig.

Yeah, would have preferred getting PSG again

If some injured players can come back and if we can add a CB, I am fairly confident we will beat Leipzig.

 

[gary69]

In the Conference league knockouts, Union St.Gilloise vs Frankfurt should be a nice pair of matches.

Porto is not an easy draw for us, curious how we measure up

 

[Savant]

Porto is not an easy draw for us, curious how we measure up

Not an easy draw compared to what exactly? Sure, we can say there are no easy draws, but how many teams in the pot would you say were easier than Porto?

And this is totally fine but come on. LFC got an arguably better version (not super relevant but still) of Porto multiple times, and we’re always told how easy it was so I’m just curious. You’ll probably starch them like we did.

Also speaking of easy draws, City getting Copenhagen is really funny. Not because of the match up, but the irony of all the Utd fans (not necessarily on here) saying City got it easy. I’d gladly go to a game in Copenhagen for the record. Might not be so hard to get tickets.
