Yeah I think we’re stronger than most if not all of these 2nd place teams. I just want to be sure of progressing though, our knockout pedigree is so bad.

Inter, Napoli and PSG could be tricky opponents. I’d be confident of getting past both Napoli and Inter. PSG could be tricky


Copenhagen, Porto, Leipzig and Lazio would be confident of winning both legs

I know we’d been out of the competition six years. But surely you can’t have forgotten how routinely bloated and padded (and let’s not forget self-congratulatory) these draw ceremonies are

So, the CL knockout stage begins this week!
What will Arteta do about resting players?
We will certainly need to mix things up from now until the end of the season because the games will come thick and fast as we fight on two fronts.
Because we have found a rich vein of form in the Premier League, I have found a new confidence (stupid, I know).
Personally, I would leave things as they are and let Tommy, Jesus, Zinchenko and the others get 100% fit before playing them.
I am 56 years old, and I am desperate to see us win the Champions League!
