Football - Champions League

[Thorum]

Fabregas potentially playing against his new club :P

 

When is the Europa league draw?

 

Fulham - Wolfsburg

Standard - Hamburg

 

Valencia - Atletico

Benfica - Liverpool

 

All three best teams (Liverpool, Valencia, Atletico) in the second half...

Standard might go on till the finals ;D

Now, I have had to delete my post! Damn you Thorum!

Wow David Villa v Torres potentially, or Maxi vs his old club. Either could be trick for Liverpool, really. If Atleti can beat Barca...

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Huge win by Milan today, having never previously scored against Barca.

 

Looking forward to Lyon v Ze Germans later on.

 

Anyone else watch the Milan Barca game?

[Majsju]

It is Inter, possibly Inter Milan, never just Milan, that is a different club.

 

Only saw second half of the game, as my local derby in the Swedish league had to finish before I could switch channel ;D

 

Mou really fixed what used to be Inters great weakness, the midfield. Zlatan and Messi could only walk around waiting for balls that never came, due to Inters aggressive and high press. Shocking to see Barca not having a plan B, I think Pep should have gone for a more straightforward 442 when they had to go for a goal at the end.

Now I would at best give barca a 50/50 chance to reach the final, which will make the game at camp Nou quite interesting. Barca is not used to not being the favourites, how will they react to that?

 

Tonight, it is  wide open game. Bayern have had a lot of luck, and did not deserve to knock out neither United nor Viola. On tyhe other hand, Lyon have not really impressed either, exept for a 30-minute spell at Bernabeu.

I think Lyon will take the aggregate, but bayern will win tonight, 1-0 or 2-1.

At least I hope Lyon will win, because of Källström, I want at least one Swede in the final ;D

That's where you're wrong. Bayern will win. We need a Belgian in the finals more than a Swede ;D

[Thorum]

See? :)

 

First Belgian ever in CL finals

[Majsju]

Sad performance by Lyon, no organisation, loads of individual mistakes, and a coach that seemed clueless how to change that.

 

Well, Sweden can still get one player in the final, if Barca can turn it around.

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Alright, the final draws are done.

 

Quarter finals: (My winners in bold)

Lyon - Bordeaux

Bayern München - Manchester United

Arsenal - Barcelona

Inter Milan - CSKA Moscow

 

Semi finals;

Winner 1 - Winner 2

Winner 3 - Winner 4

 

Chances are good we will get a reprise of last years final, United - Barcelona.

 

 

 

Bravo, good sir!  :P
