They´re leaps and bounds superior, and Sevilla has been burning out lately in La Liga.

This Sevilla is not made for the game Sampaoli plays. That wears, even on a specifically designed squad.

They´re probably best off having lost, so as to defend where they´re at, and then regroup.

That said, I don´t know what they´ll do, I believe he´s going to bolt.

Yeah I agree. From my limited knowledge of the Liga other than the big 3 (2?) clubs, Sevilla feels like Spanish Spurs to me

or what Spurs were before Pochettino at least. Maybe Arsenal is a better comparison these days

Anyway, AtM will advance because that's what they do in the Champions League. Beat who they are supposed to beat, and lose who they are supposed to lose to. Outside of Dortmund-Monaco, this is the matchup I'm most excited about this round. It will be fun to watch.

Sevilla are not Tottenham, historically they´re a tough side to beat, and many times beat you.

They also typically don´t fold under pressure.

Nothing to do with Spurs.

Correct. Tottenham are much better at everything than Sevilla are or probably ever all be. They are just another name to list below Real Madrid and Barcelona to fill out the table come seasons end. They don't matter. Realistically, they will never get close to winning a league title because your dumbass country allows 2 huge clubs to run shite, take all the TV money, buy all the players and essentially kill any excitement in Spanish football, other than when it's a Champions League Tuesday or Wednesday night. I told you my knowledge of Spanish football i limited. Regardless of how wrong. My comparison may have been way off, I have no idea. I've watched Sevilla a grand total of maybe 10 teams. Those 10 matches have seemed very Spursey to me. it's just jokes dude. You can enjoy your 2 team league without being insanely insecure when anything Spanish is brought up and taking every opportunity to shite on any other league that suits whatever argument you're going with at the time.

I was trying to have a cool conversation with you, but you just can't be cool I've found. But that's ok, I'm better at this than you. And I don't have a gay little agenda to hide behind so I can tell the truth and speak on what I see. and what I see is a shite, shite, shite league with 2 and some years 3 clubs that matter. The rest of them are essentially not there.

Also, who is "you?" I don't have a club team and the only soccer team I openly pull for is the US Men's team.

I see what you're saying because of each sides playing styles and the potentially boring match up it could create. But dude all signs point towards this draw being the exception. The match in Madrid might be a boring match as you said, but the 2nd Leg at the KP should be a great time. Assuming Leicester isn't already out of the tie after Leg 1. That place is a mad house and they've shown they can do some pretty special things there. All four matchups should be great.

Both teams will play 11 behind the ball and pray for a lucky bounce that leads to a counter. As per usual.
