I think the 1st leg of the matches was a total disgrace in terms of referees. Fiorentina lost due to an offside goal, Arsenal lost due to a strange goal. Of course, the worst came in Olympiacos's match.

The referee, first saw a foul that never happened and instead of giving a throw in which is what it was, he gave Bordeaux a foul that then led to the only goal of the match. But he didn't stop there. In the final minute of the game, a French defender challenged our forward and it was a penalty. Nevertheless, we scored the goal with a header just after the challenge took place. The referee though said the goal does not count because he thought (or he just didn't want us to equalise) there was a foul done by our forward.

I am really pissed off because Olympiacos had the chance to progress to the quarter finals and he deserved to. We had 9 shots on target while the French had 2, one of them being their goal. But the referee had other thoughts, and now we need to score at least 2 goals in France to qualify.

I haven't really been following the UCL apart from Chelsea. I have to say that I felt Chelsea deserved a draw against Milan and we had a blatantly obvious penalty not awarded to us. I however think we will go to the Bridge and win convincingly if Terry can put issues aside and Anelka can figure out the definition of TEAM.

Yeah, there has certainly been a lot of bad refereeing in the first round, but it's all part of the game, it's just how the teams bounce back now.
Olympiacos has a great chance, though, especially if they play like they did in the first leg. I'd like to see them do well.
I think Chelsea will progress too, but just by a scrape.
Manchester United should progress with the result they had at Milan.
Liverpoo... oh wait never mind
Arsenal should beat Porto at home comfortably.

Barcelona has been pretty poor this year, no where near as good as last year, I don't think they'll win it.

Yes they not playin as well as last year but "Poor Barça" still 10 times better then others.Bold named teams are my favorite for cup.But they havent enough potential for beat against Barcelona.

AC Milan
Arsenal
Barcelona
Bordeaux
Chelsea
CSKA Moskva
Inter Milan
Lyon
Olympiacos
Porto
Real Madrid
Sevilla
Stuttgart
Bayern Munich
Manchester United
Fiorentina

I think Inter plays against Chelsea.So it shows they will be 4 candidate for the cup at next round.Thats my opinion.We will see.

I wouldn't say any team is the 'best in the World' because any team can beat another team.
