I hope the final or the semi-final. I except nothing less than the quarterfinal. If we made it twice, we can make it a third time !

i would have to say the semi finals even though lyon is a very good and much improved team this year im just not confident that lyon will be able to beat the perenial superpowers of european football teams on the road its possible just unfortunatly not likely

hey, it's all a gamble, that's why they make them play the games on the field instead of deciding it all in smoky meetings.

OL could even finish 3rd in their group and then get swept away in their first uefa round. or they could lift that big ol' cup in the SdF may 17th... i think the latter is a lot more likely than the former!

OL now has the players, the experience and the organization to compete with anybody. remember, it's not about ratings, press coverage or jersey sales in macao. it happens on grass, 11 against 11, 90 minutes at a time.

Here's how I see it. They are better than all of the Champions League teams that come from leagues that arent ranked in the top 4. They are even with Bayren Munich and are better than the 2 other German C1 teams. They arent better than Milan, Inter, or Juve. Beating any of those teams would be an upset. I dont think they are better than Chelsea, Man U or Liverpool. I do think they are better than Arsenal. I think they can beat Real Madrid but they arent better than Barcelona and will be hard to beat them.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lyon finished first in front of Real Madrid guys... they will be very motivated this year since the CL Final is in the Stade de France... I may be a HUGE PSG fan, but I'm also French... so when it comes to european cups, allez la france! so as a result, allez les gones!
