Freiburg — capacity of the new stadium is about 34,500. I used to be a STH but at their great old stadium. Am still on their mailing list as I received a couple of emails offering me tickets for the Lens match. For selfish sentimental reasons would love to draw them. Freiburg is a great town. Ancient university, cathedral, loads of students, plenty of bars, and in the middle of the Black Forest so lots of cake and lovely scenery. But I’d expect Lens to beat them. Freiburg not having a great season.

I'd take a few days in Istanbul over Qarabag even if it meant seeing Mr Tumble again. I've also got it stuck in my mind that we'd lose to Qarabag and go out with a whimper.

Zaha would DEFINITELY knock us out. 100%. He'd pull a worldy performance. And he would love it.

Imagine him doing that silly annoying run along the length of the North after scoring the goal to knock us out, wide-eyed with tongue sticking out.

Anyone who wants that is certifiably insane.

Yes, I know. At least Istanbul is a lovely city to visit.

Give me an Italian or Portuguese club please.

Freiburg is my ideal draw. I really hope they get through. I saw the Copa 90 Once in Lifetime documentary about their VFB Pokal final journey and absolutely fell for them. Looks like a great club in a tremendous town.

Are the second legs straight to pens or extra time first if scores level?

Are away goals a decider if aggregate level at end of 2nd leg?

Extra time and pens. No away goals in any competitions any more.*

Note - Away goals rule is still used in 5 competitions (Club - CONCACAF Champions Cup, CAF Confederation Cup, CAF Champions League. International - Some World Cup Qualification Play Offs, CONCACAF Nations League)

Lots of plum possibilities: the Stadium of Light and the San Siro must be top of the list. But Freiburg would a cool place to visit. I'd like to see Lens too, but I wouldn't get a ticket there.

Anywhere but Istanbul or Baku.

Will we automatically be at home in the second leg?

It seems as group winners we should get that advantage.
