Thought I'd start a thread to collect all the speculation about the draw tomorrow. There's a good overview of the teams on the UEFA site: Also, there's a list of all head-to-head results for each team -- pretty cool. Makes me wish for L'OM if for no other reason than it would be a brand new matchup for us. Thoughts?
i hope for something easier and let's hope the other big teams draw eachother i would not mind something like this Bayern vs Apoel/Marseille/Benfica semis Bayern vs Chelsea/Milan
Don't care, for the the finals and winning it all you have to beat them all anyway (resp. be ready to do so)
Do not want. I just hope we avoid Real and Barca, for the next two rounds. But aside from those, I'm fine with whoever
No, actually you don't have to beat anyone. You can advance just with draws and then there is also always penalties. Besides that is it easier to beat Barca or Real in one game at the final in Munich than having to face them now.
While I can get into big specifics, I just ask for Barcelona to be on the other side so we can't play them until the final. As for the rest, would prefer an easy opponent but whatever whatever..
BAYERN x Benfica X Milan x Chelsea Barcelona x Apoel X Real Madrid x O. Marseille --------------------------------------------- BAYERN x Milan X Barcelona x Real Madrid -------------------------------------------- BAYERN x Barcelona ------------------------------------------- Champion: FC BAYERN MÜNCHEN (And if everything work out I'll be right there in the Allianz Arena) !!!!
I would prefer not to have any of the 2 Spanish teams, but we have to beat the best to be the best. So fu%$ it, bring it on.
Doesn't matter to me. If you want to be the best you have to beat the best. Predictions (obviously just a 100% guess) Marseille v Benfica Bayern v Real Barcelona v Chelsea Milan v APOEL
Marseille are missing their keeper in the first leg as well. 1 goal in France should be enough to go through because I can't see Marseille scoring more than twice over the 2 games.
Nice draw. We can realistically expect to beat OM. Not saying it will be easy, but it should be doable. The semis will be tough as ever. Real has been playing lights out. But that's what you get in the semi finals of the Champions League, so I'm not upset. If we want to say we're the best, we gotta beat the best. Can't wait. Hoping Ribery and Robben are in top form from now until the end of the season.
remember that if real and bayern make it then it will be like this. wed or tuesday: bayern Vs Real weekend : barca Vs real midweek : Real Vs Bayern
Pretty happy with the draw! The three strongest teams all get relatively weaker opponents for the quarters. I think we can beat Marseille and look forward to a Real-Bayern semi, which is going to be epic (they're my two favourite teams!). And the final will feature the 2 strongest teams (I was afraid that Bayern or Real would get Barca before the final).
IF we play to our full potential, OM will be crushed. They are in the same level as Basel IMO ... Would be nice to face Real, and I really don't get the hipe on them. They didn't face any real opposition in the CL, not even in the group stage. Ant the "La Liga" probably is the worse championship on Europe, where 2 teams are awesome but the rest are utter shit (and they always lose to the other team ) ...
I think Bayern play the 2nd leg in the Allianz Arena ... Yeyyy ... 2 Straight games at Home in the CL ...
In the semi final draw, Bayern/Marseille were drawn first and will therefore be the home team in the first leg against APOEL/Madrid
Barca and Madrid will dominate any league they play in, they're just that strong. Those other teams you think are shit will be very competitive in any other league.
