Re: The Champions League thread


Pretty :livid: . Can't see anyone stopping United from making the final. Porto and Villareal are the weakest teams left in, and United will beat Arsenal as they'll crack under the pressure if they get to the semis.

The other half is wide open. I think any of the 4 teams could make it to the final, and all have the potential to beat United when they get there. Really starting to fear that the quadruple could be on for them. emoticon

Why does everyone think Bayern are so good all of a sudden? They had no-one tidy in their group and beat a poor Sporting in the last round. I expect Barca to sweep them aside easily.

Whoever you're playing, a 12-1 aggregate win is pretty impressive. I agree that Barca will probably beat them, but I don't think they'll sweep them aside by any means.

Sporting finished one point behind Barca in the group stage.

It will be more difficult given that we have to play the first leg at home, however this does mean that I can go. I am skiing in France when the 2nd leg is played.

Bayern aren't great this year, they have been dropping stupid points in the league and I can't see Barca struggling against them.

Wish Riise was still around emoticon

Quintuple! And if you include the Charity Shield, that's sextuple (I'm guessing at that).

I think United will comfortably get to the final. Nath, don't agree that the other 4 (Barca, Liverpool, Bayern and Chelsea) could get there. Barca will beat Bayern, but even if they don't, us or Chelsea will.
