Bring it On !!!!!

Honestly we drew with the hardest possible opponent and you guys (Arsenal) drew with the same imo
Will be great matches.
80000 Fans are waiting you in Istanbul.

Ah
F*ck
At least it's not Bilbao, but I'd rather have gotten Lille or any other team than Besiktas.

I thought about that too but Bilbao lost their best players.

Dont worry we got a Turkish team last season and we all know what happened...

^If you remember Fenerbahçe were banned last year. When they were playing with Arsenal they knew they were going to be banned after CAS. I think that effected Fenerbahçe last year. But still though if they weren't banned, Arsenal was going to win it anyway. You were very good last year pre season and beginning of the PL.

There was one team which I wanted to avoid, and that's Besiktas.. Will be hard for sure in Istanbul, you've got amazing home atmosphere. Good luck to your team @Emrecan! Let the better team go through!

I want Slovan Bratislava to go through, but a miracle would be needed.

^Thanks mate. I wanted to avoid Arsenal or Napoli. I waited so long after our last Champions League matches (5 years) ; unlucky draw for us. Arsenal are even stronger than last years. But still everything is possible in Istanbul. :) We had wins in England too in CL Groups.


(Ekim-October; Kasım-November)
And there is one match we lost in England in CL groups but that was the worst night I've ever had so I don't actually want to remember that.

Napoli always gets the toughest draws, what a joke.

Arsenal, Porto, Napoli, Leverkusen and Zenit through. I dont know about the other five

I'm confident. There are not many world class players in BJK, Ba and Jones are the only great ones, and I wouldn't call them world class. But if they work well as a team, they'll be hard to beat. Playing away against turkish sides are always hard tbh.

@emrecan are you going to watch the match live in Istanbul?

^ Yeah, I hope I will :)

Dificult draw for Bilbao, but its a good occasion to see their worth...
Rulling for Arsenal, Losc, Bilbao, Leverkusen and fellow Belgium neighbours.
Some are heart choices and some for a competitive CL.

you can do do it bilbao. four spanish teams always make it to the cl.

Napoli -bilbao, good game to watch

Please don't think of me as stupid but what is the difference between Champions Route and League Route?

Champions Route includes the teams who were champions in their domestic leagues. League Route is the opposite; teams who weren't the champions.

@decentK Jones has left btw. He was on loan for 6 monhts. We have a very young team. Do you know Oğuzhan Özyakup (Former Arsenal Youth Player;played 4 years with Arsenal)

I'll be rooting for Lille and Besiktas in their tough games.

And MALMO!!!!, do it for Zlatan!!!

goodbye arsenal. besiktas is stronger this season

Zenit always gets the easy draws, they would be out if they got Lille, Athletic or Besiktas... Ludogoretz and Salzburg were amazing last year in EL and Celtic shouldnt be here. swedish Malmö needs a miracle

ok so here is mine: Arsenal, Zenit, Athletic, Lille, Bayer -- Slovan Bratislava, MARIBOR!, Salzburg :( , Ludogoretz, Apoel
