Wow, didn't realize that Chelsea only has 3 possible suitors for the knockouts.

I know these are actual, but I feel like this is just a troll poster saying Barca/Chelski is 100% in the bag.

I mean I'd say it's pretty significant in that Chelsea will have likely to play one of the best teams in the world ATM.

Regardless, if they get anyone other than PSG then it's rigged.

Right, I get that....just didn't realize that limited their potential opponents to only 3 teams.

Well, 8 (total pool) - 5 (their group #1 plus EPL #1's) = 3

This is what I hate about this tournament. To many bullshite rules for match ups at certain rounds. Just put all the teams in a hat and pull for match ups.

I mean I don’t mind the way the matchups work at all.

City, United, Liverpool, Spurs won their groups, Chelsea didn’t. That should make things harder for Chelsea and it probably will. I’d say that’s fair.

Then what would be the point of trying to win the group if you're gonna do this

Will be glorious to put them out for the 3rd time in 4 years after how much they looked down on PSG circa 2014 and 2015

I'm convinced you care more about beating Chelsea than winning the Champions League.


would obviously rather win the CL, and winning L1 is #2 but knocking Chelsea out of the CL is definitely #3 when the opportunity is there. Would put it above the domestic cups.
