@Golazo After getting Neymar and M'bappe, you can bet they will put their all on trying to win it!

It all depends on what teams they draw. I'd say that Chelsea and United will probably go further if they all verse teams of similar calibre.

@nigelpayne It is too early to said the will be knock out first, because it's just the first game, But I think all the enggland team will pass the group stage at the end.

@F6330 Most of us seem to believe they will it seem. :D

Well Spurs are the first team out and that fits with the votes as they got only 5%, Chelsea on the very edge as well.
But the rest are still alive in well, Manchester teams seem stable enough though United has to win against Sevilla and Liverpool are kinda going under the radar.

Yep, we predicted quite well

@Tuan Yeah we did, didn't we? (Musn't tell them I was part of the 5% who voted for Spurs.)

Man Utd also out, 2 out of 5 kicked out in the first knockout round and if no miracle happens Chelsea to be the third out, Liverpool and Man City got easier opposition so they stay alive.

We deserved to go out. Im rooting for Liverpool :(. :(. Screw City

@tuan Talked like a true United fan. ;)

Kinda feel bad about the defeat, it was actually pretty similar to what happened to Spurs against Juventus. Only United was able to put one back in. Seriously, if United had the mentaliy they absolutely needed to score a goal from the start, they would propably be one of the best team in Europe.

Please tell that to Mou!

@tuan Trust me, I really wish I could. Sadly, I have no way of doing it. :( But even he can't be that blind, he must realize his team was outclassed, right?

I really hope City will manage going to the final. Would be an awesome match between Barca vs Man City.

Question: are PL fans of other clubs rooting for Chelsea against Barcelona?

I normally root for EPL team except Man City. But this time for Chelsea, I dont want to see that kind of football to go through to be honest! I respect their tactical choice, but I want excitement in later stage of CL.

PL fans envy Chelsea so nobody from there will cheer for us, that much is clear.
Chelsea was the last CL winner from PL so I wouldn't mind seeing anyone else winning it for PL but in case Chelsea gets kicked out today only Liverpool and Man City are left.

@Golazo: that's partially true though. I guess deep-down it's also involved rivalry jealousy

@Golazo As a neutral, I consider I'm rooting for the situation in which the best team win (with exception to Real Madrid, I want to see anyone else win CL) so I would say that I'd support both team in that leg. I really hope its a good show and they do well. I know I will be dissapointed for the loser and happy for winner no matter what.

They can get eachother as well, if not in the first round chances are in the second there will be a big game maybe even a local derby like United vs City...

Well it happened like I was thinking, Man city vs Liverpool so one of them will carry on to the semis. At least one from PL is in the semi finals :p

It's crazy to think if English teams had made a few less mistakes there could have easily been 5 English teams in the last 8. A pretty big improvement from previous years. Shame two have to face each other. I wanted Real-City. But please football gods give us a Barca-City match this season. Don't care if it's semis or final.
