NFT: Champions League QF/SF Draw

Oscar : 3/15/2019 7:41 am
Bracket 1:
Liverpool v Porto
Manchester United v Barcelona

Bracket 2:
Tottenham v Manchester City
Ajax v Juventus

Nobody got a very easy road. Liverpool have a nice QF draw but if they advance the semis would be difficult. City should be fine but always difficult against a team that knows you well and won’t be intimidated. Juventus in the semis would not be easy either.

No easy roads in the semifinals

You can't avoid everyone but Porto is hands down the weakest side left and this isn't a vintage Barca squad either.

I think the four favorites go through to the semi's with ease.

No way Porto beats Liverpool.

Barca may not be as strong as they have been in years past but United are dealing with a ton on injuries and Barca still has Messi.

City are flying and Spurs are fading so City should cruise (and I'm a Spurs fan saying this).

And although I love the Ajax story I just think the experience Juventus has throughout their roster, and the fact they have the strongest defense left in the tourney, will see them through with ease.
Don't sleep on Porto

They have been playing as well as any in Europe, and their CB just agreed to go to Real Madrid for $58M.

I would not playing Ashley young if I was United. Just begging to be destroyed.
