Win our quarter final and we have Chelsea in the semi final. Win that and we are on our way to Istanbul.

Sounds awfully familiar!

Real Madrid is beatable, and we owe them. It's Chelsea which is the worry. They're playing good defense and that's the starting point for a solid team. It's also too soon for Tuchel to have alienated his players; that will come later. We have a good shot if Henderson is back and fit for the semi-final. A midfield of Fabinho, Henderson and Thiago could unlock that Chelsea defense.

Chelsea have to beat Porto first, if we do end up playing chelsea i am confident over 2 legs we should do enough to come out on top, in the meantime we have Real Madrid to deal with.
Agree 100% on what you said about Tuchel though, the fireworks will come later with this guy.

In the champions league were a different beast, we’ll go about our business quietly and professionally, I think it will be a Liverpool Manchester City final, just hope we can do them!

Let's just focus on the first leg against Real and then see where we are!

Chelsea (along with Porto and Dortmund) were the teams I wanted, actually. Having said that, this RM team do not give me that many worries. Sure, they still have immense pedigree and lots of experience in this comp. BUT to some extent, so do we. If we can get Hendo back fit for that game then, I think we have a more than real chance of doing them. It will all depend on what form we are in going into that tie, I think.

{Ed077's Note - they're so reliant on Benzema its unbelievable. None of the other attackers seem to be able to produce anything on any sort of consistent basis.}

I fancy us don’t think Chelsea will get past Porto though. Call me optimistic .

My only worry is we are playing Arsenal a few days before the Real game.

We could always rely on the Anfield effect in 2 legged ties so would be more confident of reaching final if the crowds were back : (
Still think we can go all the way though!

Spot on, Ed. Benzema has been carrying RM since Ronaldo left and granted, that has greatly improved his game as he has stepped massively. He is absolutely lethal and IMO, much better than Harry Kane. That said, if we can keep him quiet and starve him of service, we got a really good chance of dumping them out.
