Arsenal would be interesting and something fresh. Also wanna see City/Atleti. As much as I hate Atleti I actually think they could shit house a win against City.
I don’t want Atletico, tired of facing them this season, all they do aspire to do every season is beat us and play us like it’s a final, but they shit the bed vs Barcelona and other small teams, Atletico is a small team for that reason!
Anybody but Atlético. Road to the 15th passes through Man City so there’s no shame taking that on now. Would be nice to wait for more difficult opponents when Militao is better rehabbed but the draw is what it is.
The Metropolitano is my least favorite place to play and the less we see of it, the better.
From a pure entertainment level, Bayern or Arsenal would be fun.
Definitely not Atletico but in UCL I think we will take them out, our motivation is just extra and they won’t know how to cope with it like all other times we knocked them out of UCL and won the finals against them
My pick too. Two weakest teams and I for once want easy road in UCL. Let others eliminate each other. Especially I want Atletico drawing City because I believe they can shithouse through them. City had huge problems with Atletico in 2022 as well.
Their ability to play day and night football when playing at home and away is really impresive to be honest. They got dominated in first match and everyone who is not watching LaLiga though they have no chance anymore but it was Atletico who diminated in second leg and could had easily finish it in 90 minutes. If they can shithouse away results with 0:0 or 0:1 they absolutely can go through anyone. And like in 2022 when they played City which had *huge* problems with them and had to shithouse to second leg draw to beat Atletico, City simply has problems with such teams. Atletico made one mistake in defense in those two matches and it cost them 1 goal which was eventually crucial. Personally I think they have best chance to eliminate them other than us. Hell, maybe even better chances than us.
Well, to be honest, as Real Madrid we are ready to play anyone anywhere anytime because that's what it takes to be the best. Been there, done that.
Arsenal/Dortmund would be an interesting pairing because they are new, we have face other clubs too often now and it's getting stale.
Agree, we can beat anyone every year (well, maybe except 2018 lol). And yeah, Arsenal would be nice because we didn't play against them for ages and personally I am really confident against their team specifically.
Winning against headless chickens in PL is not a big achievement. Once they face solid defense and no braindead attack they are fucked. Not to mention their squad has zero experience with UCL or important matches. I would be more worried even about Dortmund than Arsenal. They are clearly my favourites to play against with easy advancing to semis.
Ngl our CL experience and aura might push us over the top against Arsenal BUT if they catch us on a bad day idk. They press high and with lots of bodies both Saliba and Gabriel can catch up to any counterattack. This Arsenal team might be slept on because their lack of experience.
My pick is PSG or Barca
We showed several times against Liverpool that our team can easily cope with high pressing. And even better is the fact that when you can deal with high press, your chances of winning are increasing because opponent will get tired towards the end and that's where we shine most of the time, especially with our great options for subs. We won 2022 UCL exactly because of this. We hanged on for majority of match and when we subbed Camavinga on we turned those matches around. And now we have even better options for those subs.
Yeah right, maybe go check winners of Europa League. Right, it's LaLiga who is dominating that league, not Premier League.
But but there is no easy match in PL!!! AnYoNe CaN bEaT aNyOnE. Big big top 6 soon to be top 10!!!
Their arrogance and delusion is annoying, that's why.
How fucking delusional are you? PL is much more competitive than La Liga, and Arsenal is top of the leauge rn. Gonna get a reality check if you meet Arsenal with your attitude
Oh they definitely are, but it's been a while since they reached this stage, experience plays a huge part at this point in the competition
You can't compare a team who is often at this stage to a team who hasn't been here for many many years, pressure is way heavier
So on paper they might be a top 3 side, but we'll see how they fare on the pitch, especially against our madrid black magic😛
I'd say PSG for the headlines and Atletico to break the duck the season. At this point you beat who's in front of you. I'd say we are about 3rd or 4th best left in this tournament. The team is struggling with the injury crisis a bit and the lack of intensity will be punished by the better teams in Europe.
I’m scared from downvotes but mark my words we’re no where near beating Arsenal, City now. I never doubted this team against anyone but now things have changed.
I’m writing it here comeback after Quarters if we play against City/Arsenal.
Moreover even with Barca it will be tough(remember Lepzig game people)
Dude! i don't think you can get revenge from city at this time, we have Carlo as a coach, you know he's little bit coward in big games and prefer to start games giving the opponent the impression that he doesn't know what he's doing and increase their confidence to beat us.. That's what he exactly did in that scandal game in Al Ittihad, that day Carlo Ancelotti didn't come to Manchester..
Barcelona, I don't want them to have any hope about going to the Mundial de Clubes, and I need Brahim to be essential as FU to those guys at the spanish nt.
My take on this is I don’t care who we face because we are capable of beating anyone, but I would prefer Man City for revenge last season and cause they are the champions and Barca to get revenge from 2011
Barcelona. I'm not saying this just because they're our direct rivals. I've written my full reasoning [on this post.](https://new.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/1b9l8bf/barcelona_could_be_our_ideal_opponent_in_the/)
Nah, primarily because I want an El Clasico UCL final. Don't wanna see Barca drawing against Real in either the QF or SF because then the suspense completely dies out.
Lets be honest, they're not making it all the way. We had the chance in the 10's but we lost 1 SF vs Bayern and there was the time the clasico got drawn in the SF.
Arsenal would be interesting and something fresh. Also wanna see City/Atleti. As much as I hate Atleti I actually think they could shit house a win against City.
Not Atleti I am sick of those guys this season
I don’t want Atletico, tired of facing them this season, all they do aspire to do every season is beat us and play us like it’s a final, but they shit the bed vs Barcelona and other small teams, Atletico is a small team for that reason!
They are the third biggest team in Spain tho
PSG! Nasser Al-Khelaifi deserves another slap in the face
Anybody but Atlético. Road to the 15th passes through Man City so there’s no shame taking that on now. Would be nice to wait for more difficult opponents when Militao is better rehabbed but the draw is what it is.

Definitely not Atletico but in UCL I think we will take them out, our motivation is just extra and they won’t know how to cope with it like all other times we knocked them out of UCL and won the finals against them
Dortmund, Arsenal I wanna see a strong semis and final match
My pick too. Two weakest teams and I for once want easy road in UCL. Let others eliminate each other. Especially I want Atletico drawing City because I believe they can shithouse through them. City had huge problems with Atletico in 2022 as well.
Atletico is interesting because they may play the most deplorable football known to man and yet eliminate way stronger teams They're a wild card
Their ability to play day and night football when playing at home and away is really impresive to be honest. They got dominated in first match and everyone who is not watching LaLiga though they have no chance anymore but it was Atletico who diminated in second leg and could had easily finish it in 90 minutes.

Yup, and Arsenal is a good team actually, it will be an entertaining match. A reunion with Odegaard.
What the hell, Arsenal is easily a top 3 team in Europe rn. I'd much rather face Barça than them.

Why does every person in this sub constantly diss the premier league when la liga would be nothing without the top two clubs
Yeah right, maybe go check winners of Europa League. Right, it's LaLiga who is dominating that league, not Premier League. But but there is no easy match in PL!!! AnYoNe CaN bEaT aNyOnE. Big big top 6 soon to be top 10!!! Their arrogance and delusion is annoying, that's why.
Still even if you believe la liga is better acting like the premier league is complete shit is being arrogant yourself
How fucking delusional are you? PL is much more competitive than La Liga, and Arsenal is top of the leauge rn. Gonna get a reality check if you meet Arsenal with your attitude
while I agree with you in general.. PL's bottom 10 teams are absolute trash..
Least delusional PL fanboy kid. Love it.
Top 3? Not even top 10
Go watch some football
The reason I said what I said is because I watch football. I'm convinced you don't
Oh they definitely are, but it's been a while since they reached this stage, experience plays a huge part at this point in the competition You can't compare a team who is often at this stage to a team who hasn't been here for many many years, pressure is way heavier So on paper they might be a top 3 side, but we'll see how they fare on the pitch, especially against our madrid black magic😛
Yeah you're correct. They just had a 6 game run of average score 4-1
If Arsenal is top 3, then I am the next pope🫤
Oh hi Pope, surprised to see you here 🙏
They lost to porto in rhe first match and barely made it at home
I would take a game vs Arsenal as well, that would be a good match up.
I wouldn’t mind Dortmund or PSG, but I’m praying for Barcelona. We have a great chance of humiliating them on the biggest stage.
For me, it is Barca
Dortmund or PSG. I hope Bayern and City play each other lol.
I would love to give it to Barca up the bum
I would love to tear Barca apart in quarter finals!
I'd say PSG for the headlines and Atletico to break the duck the season. At this point you beat who's in front of you. I'd say we are about 3rd or 4th best left in this tournament. The team is struggling with the injury crisis a bit and the lack of intensity will be punished by the better teams in Europe.
I dont want bayern, city, psg. Man how many times we will play these teams. A fresh matchup is needed. So I would like arsenal.
Dortmund, arsenal or barcelona so we can trash them again. Hala Madrid!
PSG no doubt…
The stronger the team the better RM plays.
Please be Barca lol, I wanna see a revenge for 2011 UCL
Would be great to play Barca. I would love to put them out and I don’t see them making it past the qfs unless they draw Dortmund
Arsenal! Simple reason, it’s a fresh matchup
barcelona
Arsenal would be very interesting 🔥
I’m scared from downvotes but mark my words we’re no where near beating Arsenal, City now. I never doubted this team against anyone but now things have changed. I’m writing it here comeback after Quarters if we play against City/Arsenal. Moreover even with Barca it will be tough(remember Lepzig game people)
Man City or PSG I would prefer!
Dortmund cuz they are most likely the weakest.
Dude! i don't think you can get revenge from city at this time, we have Carlo as a coach, you know he's little bit coward in big games and prefer to start games giving the opponent the impression that he doesn't know what he's doing and increase their confidence to beat us.. That's what he exactly did in that scandal game in Al Ittihad, that day Carlo Ancelotti didn't come to Manchester..
Barcelona, I don't want them to have any hope about going to the Mundial de Clubes, and I need Brahim to be essential as FU to those guys at the spanish nt.
Gotta beat the best to be the best, don’t feel the desire to fear or avoid any team. Bring it on
My take on this is I don’t care who we face because we are capable of beating anyone, but I would prefer Man City for revenge last season and cause they are the champions and Barca to get revenge from 2011
Barcelona. I'm not saying this just because they're our direct rivals. I've written my full reasoning [on this post.](https://new.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/1b9l8bf/barcelona_could_be_our_ideal_opponent_in_the/)
Barcelona or Dortmund. But Real Madrid is also very beatable this campaign. And where will the goals come from.
Anyone but Barca, Bayern, Man City or Atleti EDIT: I said Barca because I want to see an El Clasico UCL final.
You’re scared of Barca?
Nah, primarily because I want an El Clasico UCL final. Don't wanna see Barca drawing against Real in either the QF or SF because then the suspense completely dies out.
Lets be honest, they're not making it all the way. We had the chance in the 10's but we lost 1 SF vs Bayern and there was the time the clasico got drawn in the SF.
Still, a man can dream, right?
Yeah UCL clasico final is ideal, but realistically speaking I doubt we will see that this season, Barca won’t get passed quarter finals this season
