Pretty much agree except I reckon Monaco and Lyon will go through.

Some great games. Just hope the Reds can get some consistency going and the other players can give Stevie G some help. Bit of a one man team recently. What a player though.

Thank goodness Liverpool got an easy(ish) draw - but the 1st leg will be hard as Gerrard is suspended . They need to sign Anelka to add some much needed firepower - progressing would cover the fee.

Juve have the hoo-do over Real, and Italian clubs do not always fare well against english clubs - but Schevchenko is awesome on his day.

Barca/Chelsea is too close to call - one amazing attack against a team built around keeping things tight. My suspicion is that Chelsea will buy big in the transfer window.

Liverpool to progress with Juve, Liverpool, Monaco, Bayern, Inter, Chelsea, Milan and Lyon.

[PsynceFiction[MS]]

Yeah, Chelsea will buy very big. That Abramovitsj guy is probably one of the richest managers around, isn't he?

Guess everyone sees Arsenal getting a victory over Munich...

I have my doubts...Makaay will get through their defense def. a couple of times

[simonr]

He's the Owner and dodgy Russian oil-magnate (with an obscene fortune) that is gradually ruining football.

Not the I'm bitter !

Three German teams under the last 16 in the CL. Can't wait for next year.

Real Madrid x Juventus
considering the fact that juve only conceeded one goal in the qualifying round and that they are on the top of the italina league, they will most probably bitchslap the so-called galacticos. but then again, you never know as they are the galacticos and this is the champions league...

Liverpool x Leverkusen
liverpool definitely needs firepower to overcome this and anelka seems like the first target... but, it is not gonna be very easy as barca, after losing their backup hitter henrik larsson; might give them a run for their money come the transfer window. keep in mind that leverkusen is a very very solid team. check out what they did to real madrid in the quals... my money is on leverkusen for this tie.

PSV x Monaco
too tough to call, but i reckon monaco will advance with the help of javier saviola; who most probably wants to face barca at one point, to slap back at them for letting him go on a loan...

Bayern x Arsenal
who are we kidding? bayern will kill arsenal. arsenal is a very good team, but only in the overrated premier league. you dont get the space henry and the rest of the crew need to attack in the champ league, and bayern most certainly wont give em that. also, this fixture will be a war of keepers - kahn vs lehmann- wc2006 anyone? and lehmann does not stand much of a chance against the likes of makaay and ballack.

Porto x Internazionale
porto sucks big time after maurinho left them. im sure even they are surprised to be through to the next round. they have a tough time scoring and inter has a tought time conceeding. inter is the team of glorious draws this season. a draw in porto, and an adriano show in milan. neeext...

Barcelona x Chelsea
arguably the best player in the universe right now vs real world championship manager player abramovic. very tough one to call, but the discussion should be on how much abramovic would pay for ronaldinho next season... and if ronaldinho would leave barca after making them the winners of champ league.

Man. United x Milan
i think man u stands no chance against andriy, kaka and the like. roooooonaldo, and van nistelrooy could probably only get a draw at home, and they will be in for a serious bitch slapping in milan. just-quit-fergie.

Bremen x Lyon
bremen is just like a german engineered piece of mechanics. all the screws are well fit in. but they made it to the next round thanks to valencia's unbelievable incompetence this season. lyon's midfield is very creative with juninho and malouda, and these two have a flock of tireless runners right behind them, letting them create shit loads of chances for govou, wiltord and the sensational vilmar. my money is on lyon with this one...

sorry for the long post but, hear my out nba. i love 'this' game!!!

my 2cents.

heh, yes he's kinda arrogant but I like his style too.. sometimes he's funny.. you guys have to understand that's a personal tactic from himself.. he's very very smart.

nice reply there muzo178
Like the last edition everything can happen in champions league.. we will wait to see

CHEERS
