Over two legs we may have a chance of progressing, though looking at the teams we could face we're literally everyone's preferred opponent, so perhaps that's an advantage? The draw is tomorrow (21 March) at 12.00 CET. First legs will be played on 1 and 2 April, and the second legs will be played on 8 and 9 April 2014. Club Atlético de Madrid (ESP) FC Barcelona (ESP) FC Bayern München (GER) Chelsea FC (ENG) Borussia Dortmund (GER) Manchester United FC (ENG) Paris Saint-Germain (FRA) Real Madrid CF (ESP) IMO: Worst case scenario bracket: Bayern, Real Medium-to-worst case scenario bracket: Chelsea, PSG, Athletico, Barcelona (I think we have a chance over two legs against these - on the nights) Best case scenario (if that even exists): Dortmund (We get to welcome Klopp before heading out) At least this keeps the season alive, giving us something to play for, if only to delay the inevitable. That being said - a fluke win here and United are in the semi-finals of the European Cup  |

That being said - a fluke win here and United are in the semi-finals of the European Cup Now that is a scary thought...we have a team that is capable of doing it - no, that isn't the case - we have the PLAYERS that are capable of doing it...what we want is for someone to turn them into a team... Probably not DD... |

Don't care about the opposition, the harder they are the harder they fall, bring em on. I remain convinced that United under Moyes at best are a cup side and the two legs are a big help. Every side from now will be nervous and the odds will fall. If Moyes and Fergie can magic this we could do it. For us fans its a real bitch because Moyes has done very little and most of us are no longer convinced (if ever we were) he is the chosen one. I want the CL but also a new dynamic and creative manager - how to get both is our predicament.

Get the dynamic and creative manager in the summer, and wait three years for a win in Europe. |

I still think league form will tip the balance over Moyes but lets enjoy the CL in the meantime. |

I'm going to get laughed at but we stand a decent chance against PSG, renties and injury ravaged BVB. Obviously that entails not listening to DD or his "tactics". Basically a conflict of interest! Want my team and players to do well but that would also mean DD stays on.

PSG are a shower of mercs but the problem is their midfield is bloody strong. One thing is certain- there are some serious outfits left in this. |

Apparently, according to L’Equipe, each PSG player will receive €1m if they win the Champions League. Modern Football. |

I sounded as confident as DD in any of his pressers  Is this the first time that all group winners have reached quarters? No surprises in CL thus far. Here is hoping we pull off an upset *sigh* |
