Pre-draw views from the forum:
Red London: “Super important draw, the tree takes shape. You can get super unlucky and have Madrid as a fixture with City on your side of the tree, or you can have the Inter route from last season.
Ignoring all that, I would really like to play Barcelona. That would interest me a lot. One thing is for certain, this years final 8 is filled with some great teams.
It’s lacking Liverpool. Apart from that this is a final 8 packed with quality + pedigree. Gonna be no ‘easy’ route but I’m here for the ride.”
SA Gunner: “All solid teams, so no “easy” ties anymore. But if I had to choose.
Dortmund or Barca
PSG
Bayern
Madrid
City
Atleti
Either Dortmund or Barca would be great though, Dortmund have a good defensive structure, good attacking strength and is less open than Barca but Barca are dangerous in attack, so both are threatening but playable.
Not be as comfortable with the rest, particularly with the amount of games around that time.

To be fair to Atleti they do play more attacking football now. Really good in transition, with that same solid defence. But they also know how to slow games down and make it painful, and that’s my worry<<<READ FULL ARTICLE>>>
