Realistically you'd expect one of the Spanish sides to win it but hey, if I thought we had no chance I wouldn't bother watching. In sport you never really know.
Yeah we were possibly a Dennis Bendtner away from going through last season. Not that it would've taken us to the final of course but it would've been a big step. I always want us to get to the QFs at least because then we can see what path we would have to go down to reach the final. If, like the Spuds we have Real Madrid and then Barcelona, it's hard to see us getting through. Always a chance of fluking an easier draw though.
