Champions League Draw

[Bobby Sands]

Celtic v Barcelona

Lyon v Manchester United

Schalke v Porto

Liverpool v Internazionale

Roma v Real Madrid

Arsenal v Milan

Olympiakos v Chelsea

Fenerbahce v Sevilla


All the British teams apart from Chelsea have got pretty tough draws. I am confident that Liverpool will beat Inter. Man Utd should win. Arsenal will have to be at their very best to beat Milan but are capable of doing it. Unfortunately, i dont think that Celtic can win but they will make it difficult for Barca. Some good matches to look forward to.

Arsenal are in a better position than Liverpool, in my opinion. I doubt all four clubs will go through.

Liverpool will struggle IMO.

I would expect Arsenal to go through, though it will be very hard for them.

Can't see Celtic doing much against Barca.

it's gonna be awesome

Celtic will be very difficult for Barcelona, but I hope we go through

ManU should probably win without too much problems, but they shouldn't underestimate Lyon at all

Liverpool might win against Inter (although I hope they don't ). Normally I'd say Inter could easily win, but it's just that Liverpool just always seems to get near the final and Inter always seems to do bad in Europe, so it'll be a cracking encounter with Inter probably just edging it. What with Ibrahimovic being on fire nowadays..

Madrid vs Roma is an interesting game too.. I feel as though Madrid definitely will not have a walk in the park against Roma, but will most likely go though (which sucks )! I'm pretty confident Roma will win at home tho'! Depending on that game, (if they win 2-1 or something alike, Madrid will go through, but if Roma beats all the ods and wins something like 3-1 at home, they might just go through!)

Arsenal vs Milan will probably be the most thrilling game of them all! I honestly can't wait! Too bad I'll only be able to watch the Barcelona games But even though Arsenal have been playing extraordinarily well this season (with some truely magnificent plays) they will have a horrid time against Milan. It's just because Milan is another one of those teams that simply always seem to reach the final! I don't know how they do it, but they do.. So although I wouldn't mind either of those teams winning, and atm my favore goes out to Arsenal, I'm pretty confident Milan will win..

Chelsea will obviously win, but I wouldn't be surprised if they only drew/lost away to Olympiakos! They won't be too easy, especially at home!

You've heard it here first

Barcelona will beat Celtic. Not easily however, Barca lack a plan B.

Man ud to beat Lyon not easily either, I hope Man utd improve away from home in Europe.

Inter v Liverpool is interesting. Inter are inconsistant in Europe, ive seen them play fantastic and out play PSV away from home, but ive also seen them be a total shambles vs Fenerbache away, but David Suazo is hitting form so Liverpool will find it tough he keeps it up.

AC Milan v Arsenal - ugh, For some reason I can seeArsenal going through, AC Milan have been so poor this season (although they turn it on when it matters i.e v Sevilla/Boca), struggling to score goals, Kaka isnt in the same form as last season, a shaky defence, injured Ronaldo, Pato is highly unproven, although hes a talent i doubt he will do anything if he does anything though. Gilardino is awful and Inzaghi is the only goal threat and hes about 35.

Roma v Real Madrid - I don't think Roma are as good as last season, they havent played that good in the CL so far, were very lucky vs Lisbon. Real Madrid are jeckal and hyde really, Robinho though is FINALLY living up to his potential and is probably the best in form player right now. Real Madrid should win, but will as usual make it hard for themselves.

Olympiakos v Chelsea - Don't underestimate Olympaikos, they have been great this season, only lost to Real Madrid and that was with 10 for most of the game (they out played Madrid with 10 men also) Although I do think Chelsea will be stronger, I wouldnt be surprised if Olympiakos win at home.

Fenerbache v Sevilla - Great tie this one, I love how Sevilla play and hope they advance and believe they will. Fabinho like Robinho is in the form of his life and living up to the potential whichad him regarded higher than Adriano. If Daniel Alves stays Sevilla could cause a few upsets, Poulsen and Keita in the middle are one of the best partnerships in Europe. Fernerbache have Alex who shockingly looks set to stay with them for the rest of his career, which is a shame because he deserves a bigger club in a better league. Without Alex, Fenerbache dont have much, Deived is decent though and of course R.Carlos.


Schalke v Porto - Porto although great in their league I havent been overly impressed by them, but they do seem to play without Quaresama now, seeing as he is off form they have coped with that. Schalke could easily out muscle Porto and knock them out just based around that. Porto without Lopez wont score many so if hes kept quiet they dont have another genuine goal getter. Tarik has been great though, seeing as he was unwanted last season and the start of this one. Porto to win

lol at people writing off Liverpool yet again.

Inter Milan are over-rated and tend to bottle it when it comes to the crunch. I always say that the main reason Inter are doing so well domestically now is because of Juventus's demotion last season and also because the current AC Milan team seems to be incapable of performing in the serie a. Possibly because they are an aging team that seems to up their performances for the big European nights. The current Juventus side isnt near as good as it was before either and Inter took their best players(Ibra and Vieira). Roma are decent but would struggle to make the top 4 in the premiership. Lazio are a poor team in comparison to what they were a few years back. Fiorentina are ok but wont challenge. The rest of the league is extremely poor imo. I am a big Sampdoria fan but the Sampdoria sides of the early to mid 90's would thump the current Sampdoria team. Parma have fallen along way down. It easier for Inter to win the scudetto now. How many times did they win it when AC Milan and Juve were up there? I dont buy into this Inter Milan hype. Liverpool will win.

 

[Pain Of Depth]

I'm not writing them off at all, and agree with most of your points.. I only hope Inter win

I just hate Liverpool

 

[PaulyPac]

I got a feeling Lyon is going to surprise Man Utd

Who was writing off Liverpool

Craig Forrest of Forest's rapid fire told me an Italian club would win it again.
