Real Madrid probably as they can either be brilliant or awful, and you would hope for two awful days.

Atletico and Bayern are more consistently strong sides, and would probably have too much for City over two legs.

And what scenario if City have finished the season in fifth place!

Also want to see Pep v Simeone. Two of the top managers in football with such contrasting styles.

Do the winners still get a CL place even if they do finish 5th, not that I think they will.

The winners are in next year's competition regardless of where they finish in the league.

Id want Real for the reasons budget gave. Always give you a chance on the break to nick a goal, and when you defend well against them they result to 35 yard wonder blasts.

Atletico are the team they least want, as Man City proved last round they can beat a team that has 60-70% of the ball in a match, which is what Bayern are. If Athletico play like they can, they draw teams into aimless play and hit on the break. They defend well, and I cant see Man City beating them.

I'm not sure what happens if Liverpool win the Europa League, do we get five representatives then?

Yes, Spain did this year. If we have both CL and EL winners then 4th places misses out.

Wouldn't Liverpool love to knock Man U out of a Champions League spot!

Not that United look like finishing fourth.
