Let's pretend we're surprised to play with Bayern

The one time Arsenal tops their group Bayern comes second in theirs. Sad.

UEFA don't even bother hiding they're corrupted anymore. These votes are all rigged. Real Madrid always get the most convenient draw. Arsenal always get a stupidly strong team, usually Barca or Bayern. Barca and PSG happened how many times now? Lmfao, corrupt bastards.

With our poor form we're dead against Barca. Our only hope, if we don't improve our game BIG, is that Barca will have bad days. They've had some this season but so have we and I don't see us going throuh to the next round. And I feel even more sorry for Arsenal...

Apart from Arsenal bad luck, Arsenal fans should believe their team can advance at least to next stage. In other words, Atletico have humbled Arsenals' strongest rivals in the last four years ( Barca & Bayern ). I think Arsenal should develop a defensive approach when facing strong sides.

But Wenger wants to go in hard in the first games, he can do that this year. He'd always go hard at home.

Also, I really hate when Arsenal fans get called deluded, but this guy is something else

Say we're not getting complant

'We gonna win champions League'

K den. UEFA are really helping us.

You clearly haven't learned from your mistakes

Watch from 2:08

@Ericim. Totally agree with you. Wenger always gets away with silly excuses. I mean this is a CL, what do you expect? You give a great example of Atletico.

Unlucky Arsenal but like it was said earlier, luck or not, in the CL, you gotta be able to beat everybody to reach the final. Who know, if they do well, they might just win. Will also be interesting how Ancelotti will do with Bayern against a good Arsenal side. The other game with two big side in will be PSG vs Barca even though Barca should win easily those game, thanks to PSG poor form. Benfica vs BVB and Leicester vs Sevilla should be a good game and the most open one. Juventus should easily win their game, Atletico and Real as well. Monaco vs Manchester City could actually surprise us as Monaco is one of the best side in France right now and City is not actually in superb form this year despite having Guardiola as coach. It will depend but I could see this as being an interesting game. :D

On one side, we got better team now so there's always a hope, but then I remember how PSG dominated us in both games, how can we beat Bayern then..

Just for the discussion about getting accesible or harder draws for certain teams. This is a table for the percentages showing the probablility that each team had to face the others.

I know I complained a lot about this new group stage sorting but in the end I feel like it made the first knockout round so much better. Might be coincidence but the fixtures look great.

I have to add that I think it's silly to say "they got an easy draw". When we talk about the 16 top teams of UCL (and basically all of europe) it's never an easy game. It's tough, tougher. Or difficult and "easier"... I never see any opponent as easy when the team has reached all the way to the playoff.

@Pelle are you going to attend to the game ? The cheapest ticket is 205 euros behind the goal, wtf ?
Plus you need to travel to Paris, a velentines day, its kinda mission impossible for me atm lol

Arsenal can give a fight, they just need not to take 4 at Bayern and try to score, they host last GL

I swear the ticket prices are more expensive every year, soon only richest will be able to attend the games which will create zero atmosphere.

PSG prices are ridiculous, I'd rather go to Camp Nou with that price. I won't make 200km by car and sit behind the goal or 3rd tier seat, i want to watch the game, the most decent seat is +300 euros for a round of 16 first leg, No way.

Kuddos to BVB Dortmund, the cheapest tickets on sale, 90 euros sounds fair.

@tiki BVB, alway the best with their fan. ;)

I will attend the game. I got a ticket to my couch for free. More comfortable than any seat in the arena.

I guess they may aswell just drop Arsenal and PSG from UCL if they will get hardest possible opponents every year. Don't wanna predict anything, but this is kinda funny. Anyways, probably fixed.

The PSG's stadium price is ridiculous, the CL's ticket prices are ridiculous, bunch of hipsters wanted to check-in on instagram made the prices sky high.

2 years ago me and mah dad wanted to see the final, willing to pay 2000 each ticket, couldn't find it. 4 friends of mine who had never watched a football game the whole year, always bashed the sport got the tickets from acquaintances and attended. GRRRRRRR!!!!

I swear Arsenal fans suffer more than their injured players I feel sorry for them but good luck to them hopefully they can make it to the next stage.

Arsenal getting Bayern & Real getting pretty much the easiest opponent, in other news the water is wet.

Arsenal have the most expensive season tickets though. Matchday tickets are ridiculous too. $150 for me to get to the game
