meh anyone but Barca please :rolleyes:

Arsenal vs Barca
Milan vs Psv
Valencia vs Inter
Lyon vs Porto
Chelsea vs Lille
Manure vs Roma
Bayern vs Real Madrid
Liverpool vs Celtic


this is the real draw

ya that would be a good one, arsenal vs barcelona, then arsenal would take revenge for last seasons final

I dont know if you guys noticed this but out of the 8 groups, english clubs have finished top in four of them, ital france germany and spain clubs have come first in one each, seems like the english are dominating it, i cant wait to see if theyre still there after the next round

Chelsea-Porto(6)

Porto should have pushed Arsenal at their stadium. Now and even though they're playing well I can't see them getting to the quarters.

I want Milan. If not them, then Bayern.

Milan are more beatable than ever, and Bayern are not in their best form either.


Just not Lyon, please.

Yeah the public draw isnt till tomorrow

I will be lighting some candles tonight so Barca draw Lyon....

hahaha. We will find out tomorrow if i was bull****ting you.

Or if I get lucky/told the truth

dude. shut up.

bring on arsenal, undoubtedly the easiest of all first round opponents given their current form.

wouldn't mind drawing milan either, they are really struggling. liverpool, well, it depends on which liverpool shows up to play. they either really suck or are really good, so it's a gamble.

don't want manure or lyon, would be happy with milan or liverpool, would be overjoyed with arsenal!

Yea!! we can get our retribution against lille..

bayern munich-real madrid

thats a european classic.

liverpool barca that should be intresting. probably the best draw out of all of them.

Unlucky liverpool, may be unlucky Barca

Does that guy that Adriano destroyed still play for Valencia?

damnit, didn't draw arsenal. oh well, my man former barca star PATRICK KLUIVERT will make sure PSV finishes you guys off.

as far as liverpool go, bring em on! they're hardly in any sort of good form and if arsenal can beat them 3-0, so can we! but it's gonna be tough. CL winner 04 vs CL winnter 05! if the real liverpool shows up, it's gonna be really really tough.

u should remember that the game will be in fabuary and thats when liverpool really come to life.

all of benetizes teams start off badly then grow strong as the season goes on, it will be a though one, but i think benitez will find a way to beat u guys.

is this what u mean?

Why do you hate arsenal so?

Woo. I'm happy with Lille.

:evil:

the rabbit punch. that was priceless.

Celtic... (N)



I have a feeling Man Utd will win it all this year.


And Mourinho-Porto (H) Thats so freaking NOT fixed :D

Poor Chelsea... they are out!!! :evil:

no this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4pjp1AdAu0
yes...that was crazy.....he got a big suspension as i remember....I hope Adriano wil play...

I just hope Lyon will go through....Barca is 100% going through...Bayern is not!

everytime that an english team (whatever club or NT) underestimates a portuguese team, portuguese win. so watch out chelsea! :evil:

Hopefully Diaby and Lauren are back by February

If Liverpool can hold out at the Nou Camp they can win the tie at Anfield. The atmosphere can get to teams as seen in 2005.

Ties to be played February 20/21 & March 6/7

FC Porto v Chelsea

Celtic v AC Milan

PSV Eindhoven v Arsenal

Lille v Manchester United

AS Roma v Lyon

Barcelona v Liverpool

Real Madrid v Bayern Munich

Inter Milan v Valencia

------------------------------------
very intresting each one of those games is worth watching. can't wait for liverpool v barca as much as i hate liverpool i want to see them win.

the best games in bold

Not a great draw, but it could have been worse.


Roma :rofl:

everytime that an english team (whatever club or NT) underestimates a portuguese team, portuguese win. so watch out chelsea! :evil:
What's the difference though? Chelsea is like 51% portugese anyways.



The general director of Porto is getting pretty cocky saying that they will beat Chelsea for sure. Arrogance is not the greatest way to fight Jose.

why does everyone fear Lyon i wouldn't mind if we drew them.

man WE have the best master mind tactician in Jose Mourinho, im sure he knows how to handle his old club, but it will be strong test just like all the other games, i hope Manu lose to lille :)

Anything can happen in the WWF I mean Uefa Champions League Final. It's all knockout but I have to say Barc vs Liverpool and Madrid vs Bayern are the best matches of the round.

Fvck, i hate playing Capellos teams

Ok, now im think Liverpool its out :|

The english teams have gotten quite easy draws, except of liverpool. Who can stop england? four teams in champions league, each of them winner of their group, three teams i uefa cup, each of them winner of their groups. That IS scary!

Great draw i must say...Bayern-Madird and Liverpool - Barca r the matches that r totally made for this kinda competition...closely followed by Inter-Valencia and Roma-Lyon

If Liverpool can hold out at the Nou Camp they can win the tie at Anfield. The atmosphere can get to teams as seen in 2005.
But they couldn’t do it against benfica at anfield. I think it depends on which Liverpool side steps out to play against Barca they can be really good at times but other times they can be just Liverpool. I think if an aggressive and very defensive Liverpool steps out to play against barca they can go through.

Ferguson will find a way to **** it up and even opt for a 4-5-1 at home.

Will there be a draw for the next round too? Or is it all already bracketed?
If so what does that look like?

why does everyone fear Lyon i wouldn't mind if we drew them.
Because they are capable of thrashing anyone if they're on form.

Chelsea-Porto(6)
:(damn

your actually a joke, there is no way PSV even have a chance against us. They're probably the worst team in the draw, no offence but im just being honest

Some people are saying its Lille... i personally think that all teams are dangerous this far in... specially since the games will be in late february, and by then anything can happen to all teams. Injuries **crosses his fingers and thinks of ManU** or good stranfers are thing to look at in the coming weeks. The picture will be clearer in february, then we will see who is actually the weakest team..

Liverpool will beat Barca, probably like 5-0 if they keep all 11 men.

Gerrard will score a hat trick, and Crouch will score two.

Puyol vs Crouch =
















Crouchy4tw.

Yes, PSV... either them or Lille would have been good. Haha Mourinho goes back to Portugal
I'm also glad that 2 teams out of Bayern, Madrid, Lyon, and Roma will be out.
The best draw of all is Barca-Liverpool even though I can't see Hypia and Carragher keeping up with Ronaldinho and Giuly.

Will there be a draw for the next round too? Or is it all already bracketed?
If so what does that look like?

same question

Will have another draw I think.

there is a draw after these games

Knockout phase
From the last 16 until the semi-finals, clubs play two matches against each other on a home and away basis with the same rules as the qualifying rounds applied. In the last 16, group winners play runners-up other than teams from their own pool or nation, while from the quarter-finals on the DRAW is free.

Tough draw for both Liverpool and Milan. And both are going through. (H)

i hope ferguson doesn't **** around with the tactics, as we should be able to go through to quarter-finals easily this time.

Edit: Nevermind. :p

I guess my post is not enough, specially when I post a direct quote from the uefa page.. :boohoo:

Oops :$

pleased with the draw.

Respect for Valencia. They can be a tough opponent.

I can't complain because it could have been worse but the only English team I wanted was Arsenal. Unlike Wenger, Benítez knows how to play against Barça.

Wenger was beating Barca for almost 75 minutes down a man (his starting goalkeeper) with a patch work defense.

Had Arsenal had 11 men, Barca would have been shat on.

If Lehmann hadn't brought Eto'o down, you wouldn't have been ahead at all.

But yeah, Wenger was really beating us. You defended for the whole match with a few solo efforts from Henry. You really whooped our ass there.

The match is 90 minutes. 2-1.

the sides name is arsenal not wenger

Wenger was beating Barca for almost 75 minutes down a man (his starting goalkeeper) with a patch work defense.

Had Arsenal had 11 men, Barca would have been shat on.Barça scored the first goal.

Lehman couldn't stop Eto'o and Rijkaard totally owned Wenger with the substitutions. Get over it.

your actually a joke, there is no way PSV even have a chance against us. They're probably the worst team in the draw, no offence but im just being honest

That's exactly why you drew Portsmouth 2-2 today. Just because you got to the final last year doesn't mean you'll get there again.

Remember how good you were in the Champions League before last year? :-puke:

your actually a joke, there is no way PSV even have a chance against us. They're probably the worst team in the draw, no offence but im just being honest


psv is worse than lille? hahah you're an idiot.

let's compare your two teams, shall we:

Arsenal: played 18, won 8, lost 4, scored 29 goals, conceded 15.

PSV: played 17, won 15, lost 1, scored 46 goals, conceded 6.

i know the two leagues are quite different, but those are pretty impressive stats. it's not like you're on some hot streak in europe either, your CL campaign has been pretty mediocre so far given the group you were in.no way psv even has a chance against you? hmmmmmm those numbers and your stats beg to differ.

Arsenal fans I wouldn’t get extremely confident PSV is no walk in the park. But I can already see arsenal scoring one goal and putting 10 men behind the ball for the rest of the fixture, but this time they will get caught out.

Get over it already, it's not like Chelsea was playing any different in the first half against United.

what are you, the forum bully, you should get out more

My picks:

Porto vs Chelsea
Celtic vs AC Milan
PSV vs Arsenal
Lillie vs Man U
Roma vs Lyon
Barca vs Liverpool
Real vs Bayern
Inter vs Valencia

I rally cant decide between barca and liverpool but if i had to go with my gut id say barca

I think Barca has this one easy. So what if Benitez was able to beat Barca in the past with a different team? Keegan was able to beat Fergie in the past as well, what does that mean?

Barca has too much quality for Liverpool and this recent run where Liverpool scored 11 goals and conceeded 0 in 3 games is only temporary. They will lose soon and be brought down back to earth.

My picks:

Chelsea
AC Milan
Arsenal
Man Utd
Lyon
Liverpool
Bayern
Inter

lmfao!!!

Lyon will be NEVER go through if Roma play like they did against Palermo

Lyon will definitly go through if Roma play like they did against Lazio.

The great rivalry is back, Real vs. Bayern! It'll be a great match, anyways i prefered liverpool!
