Champions League Picks/Discussion

My Picks-
AC Milan
They play in a much higher division and though I think they're a step behind Inter and Ronaldo doesn't do too much for them, they still have one of the best midfields/center back duos/keepers in the game last time I checked.

Manchester United-
Please

Arsenal-
They're looking really good as of late and Henry seems almost back to form. PSV is headed in the other direction I haven't seen them play ever, just word of mouth/stats.

Real Madrid-
Not really a great matchup imo. I like that Real has changed it up, and they're still repping it in a solid Spanish Primera. Bayern is 4th in a Bundesliga thats really 2nd tier compared to EPL, Serie A and Primera.

Liverpool
Toughest pick yet, but Barca has just ahd a [censored] run of things. Eto'o going out hurts them big time, and I'm not even sure if Messi is back to full strength. Only reason I'd pick Barca is that they could go up big in the first game; I think officiating will have a lot to do with this outcome.

Chelsea-
Whatever

Inter Milan-
But [censored], Valencia is pretty good. Adriano is playing like he's supposed to, meaning they have 3 strikers who could start almost anywhere and be the top scorer, (Zlatan, Crespo). I think Inter could win the whole thing, just a solid all around team who gets it done.

Lyon-
Sure, I'm watching the game with some French guys. Fred!

[sixfour]

Milan, United, Arsenal, Munich, Barca, Chelsea, Inter, Lyon.

Inter-Valencia ought to be the best game of the round, possibly followed by Liverpool-Barca.

[Valerio]

LOL it looks like I voted exactly the same way as sixfour

lyon are off form, i think the roma-lyon tie will be a lot closer than it seems people think.

I have futures bets on both, so whatever. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] FWIW, Porto-Chelsea could very well be one of the closer ties in my opinion.

Inter-Valencia could be a close match.

FWIW, I picked Celtic because I think Serie A is way down this year and Celtic is a solid squad. If they can keep a clean sheet at Celtic Park, then AC Milan will have to battle on the return tie(wherever they play) to win.

I also like real madrid over Bayern Munich. The rest are fairly straightforward.

Chelsea's defense has been very hurt lately.

I think Barcelona - Liverpool is a LOT tighter than people give Liverpool credit for. Barca still favourites obv.

Inter - Valencia should be the best match-up, but I still consider Inter to be substantial favourites.

Man Utd and Chelsea are so through to the quarters it's silly.

I think the Bayern - Real match as well as the Arsenal - PSV could be quite tight, along with Barca - Pool.
