Haven't seen Basilis post this thread yet so I thought I'd post it, because we usually have a fairly good discussion.

Here's what happened in the Group stages for those who aren't following






And here's the results of the 1st leg of the last 16:

Lyon - Real Madrid [1-0]
AC Milan - Manchester United [2-3]
Bayern Munich - Fiorentina [2-1]
Porto - Arsenal [2-1]
Stuttgart - Barcelona [1-1]
Olympiacos - Bordeaux [0-1]
CSKA Moskva - Sevilla [1-1]
Inter Milian - Chelsea [2-1]


So who do you think will win?

I hope Chelsea will do better against Inter Milan at Stamford Bridge.

But with Cech and Ashley Cole out, they're not in the best of form.

Lyon - Real Madrid [1-0]
AC Milan - Manchester United [2-3]
Bayern Munich - Fiorentina [2-1]
Porto - Arsenal [2-1]
Stuttgart - Barcelona [1-1]
Olympiacos - Bordeaux [0-1]
CSKA Moskva - Sevilla [1-1]
Inter Milan - Chelsea [2-1]

My tips are there in bold.  Was an epic game last night, knowing Jose I reckon he'll go for an early goal at the Bridge to leave Chelsea needing 3, effectively killing the tie.

United is going to win this round for sure. I hope they win the title but like I said at the beginning of the season, I think they'll lose in the semis but I think they'll win the EPL.
I stand by what I said I still think Chelsea will screw up (hopefully United will screw up less.. Horrible at consistency at the moment).
As for the champions league, I hope we reach the finals.. but I have a feeling that we'll lose in the semis, just like every other year.

On a side note, I hope an English team makes it to the final this year. It would be the 6th straight year that this would happen, a new record. The would beat the earlier English record when Liverpool won 3 consecutive titles followed by another club (Conventry City if memory serves correct) lost once and won the second one.

I'm not so sure about Arsenal. I hope Barca lose (but they won't ) I kinda agree with everything else. I think Inter should snatch this one but if Chelsea score early, I'd pick them for the win.

Arsenal will win, they should of won the first leg or at the very least got a draw, besides the next leg is at the Emirates. I'm not saying it's going to be easy because it won't, but we should have a handful of 1st teamers back for this leg

I'm confident Chelsea can win 1-0 to knock them out.

Nottingham Forest   Liverpool only won 2 in a row as well.  Liverpool twice, Forest twice, Liverpool again, then Aston Villa

We hold the honours of the longest winning (6) and losing (4) streaks of any country, haha

It's weird how out of the 6 Champions League finals that English teams won, 5 of them were 1-0.



Then even after that it continued with Hamburg and Juventus doing the same.

i dont see what's so weird about it

im betting for real madrid this season

6 Champions League finals 1-0 in a row seems unusual, that's all.
