I will not say... don't want to jinx anything.... ;)
I will say that the winnner of the Chelsea and Barcelona fixture has to be the favorite. Juventus is another I think (soo good defensively, which gets you to the finals). Should be interesting...

I think the viewable polls numbers say it all ;)
Please---Not Chelsea!!!!!! I must pray to Krom for that one.
I would not mind Barcelona

I predict a Chelsea vs. Bayern final. Other favorites are Juve, Milan and Real Madrid (yes!). I don't see Barca as a big favorite right now, they seem pretty weak in 2005.

I voted Juventus because their defensive displays in the Group stage and in Serie A are just brilliant,if they can keep Makaay from scoring in Munich in the Champions League i don't think they'll have much trouble against many other strikers.

just be honest with your choice. I'm a bayern fan but picked AC milan as the best team this year. Currently, Chelsea, MU, Milan and Bayern have the best form

I don't think so, they;re just lucky not to concede a goal then not to mention, up to that time bayern strikers hadn't scored a single goal in 3 or 4 successive games and scholl hadn;t yet recovered from the injury.
I believe we'll beat them if we have another chance.

If Bayern play Milan down the road it will be anything but in Milans favor. Remember the last couple of years, You couldn't realistically vote for Bayern to win the CL but this year is different. Hell, I don't think Barca or Milan are really have better chances than Bayern. They each have their weaknesses that Bayern can certainly exploit.

I think we lost from JUVENTUS in the groups phase because of LUCK we controlled the 2 matches and we were the better and then by a single mistake by our defence we lost the 2 matches and u know juventus finished all there group matches with JUST 1 GOAL in every match so that shows that their attackers r not understanding each others and if we met them again i'm sure that we will kick their asssss

Yes,Juventus were lucky in both the matches against us,especially their goal in Munich but i don't think they can go half a season in Serie A and still be top through luck,but really i think quite a few teams have a good chance,including Bayern.

Speaking of Juve, they have been horrible in their league as of late, they have been dropping points left and right against teams that they should have beaten. They are really really unstable this season, there is definetley something to exploit there.

... and..... Real has been coming on strong since the new boss took over.
Translation: the Juve v. Real matchup that I once thought would be so heavily in favor of Juve has now become the matchup everyone hoped for.
Other burning questions:
How will Chelsea move on without Robben? (well, the bench is stacked, so...)
Will Arsenal go for broke in CLS since all else is a wash?
Man U v. AC... can Man U continue their upward rise?
According to some boards on this site, didn't Liverpool already go thru?
Or is Leverkusen the sleeper? (not after last week ;))
Will DMB continue his CLS magic for PSV?
Will Bremen prove to have the luckiest draw of the lot?
Does anyone care about the other sides???
Just kiddin... Lyon is always crafty, and Porto has been there before.

They reply too much on Nedved. A team with full of old stars wouldn't be stable on the long run. No surprise about that.

Let me answer some of these burning questions my friend:
Chelsea will crash out without Robben, Joe Cole will come in at half time and come out 25 minutes before the end of the game.
The Gunners will drive their team bus off the cliffs after getting wasted in Munchen.
Manchester will exploit Milan's weakness with the outstanding style they playin the CL.
Liverpool is in bad shape, but if the stars are alligned right and miracles are in order they just might go through against Leverkusen. Bayer only lost this weekend cause they played the best team in the world. ;)
I doubt DMB will because Monaco is in great shape in the CL this season too, surprisingly.
The one draw I can't really predict is Lyon v. Bremen, these two teams are as equal as you can get....it will be quite interesting. Both have been playing fantastic in the CL.
Who is Porto?
