Arsenal v Bayern Munich
Olympiakos v Man U
Galatasaray v Chelsea

 

[The Truth]

Barcelona don't look as impressive as they have done. I'd be betting on Man city.

i am only given man city a chance as Barcelona are poor at the back

City were always going to be a nightmare draw for any of the top seeds. They may not really have done anything in Europe yet or even look particularly good when up against the top teams, but even if you're Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, you will know they have the players that on their day could beat you easily. I think you'd feel very disappointed to win your group and then draw a team containing Aguero, Toure, Nasri, Silva, Negredo, Kompany and Dzeko. On the other hand, for City it is a decent draw as they won't be under pressure as few will expect them to win, and they're playing a Barcelona team that isn't quite as good as it was.

I still make Barcelona favourites, but give them no better than a 60/40 chance.

This, basically.


Citeh have the ability to RUIN Barcelona at the council house. Don't forget, even a team as pony as Celtic managed to beat Barcelona last year.

and drogba going back to Stamford bridge...

I hope he scores a hat-trick and celebrates every goal like hes just won the champions league

 

[Billy the Fish]

I rekon City will do Barca at home. As long as they keep it tight at the nou camp I think they'll win the tie.

 

[beorhthelm]

Tough for Arsenal, can see Man C going through if they keep their form, others look likely to go through too.

 

[MattBackHome]

Yeah I reckon Citeh will go through.

 

[The Truth]

0-0.

 

[Meade's Ball]

As much as City are in form, it's difficult to compare their oppositions in the near past with Barca with a likely fit Messi and a settled Neymar and a dancing-feeted Sanchez. It's not an impossible task, but Pellegrini's insistence on being a force of attack will have to change if they're looking to outgun the classiest goal-machines still on the planet.
I don't fancy Arsenal's chances.

City are 16-1 to win Champions league! Amazing odds

Arsenal to do their usual trick and exit 4 competitions in the space of a month

That would be a good trick seeing as they're only in three.

 

[Washie]

Double post.

Are they still in the JPT ?

The final isn't at the Etihad, therefore they won't win it. I imagine Barca would settle for a draw at Man City, it's not often you can say that about Barca. Will be a great tie, hopefully not on sky.
