Wow so no talk about Bayern absolutely tearing Basel apart after being embarrassed the first leg?

[phelan]

bayern absolutely hammering basel wasn't completely out of the ordinary....gomez' strike rate is ridiculous.

Forgot if it isn't EPL it doesn't matter here

Back to the mixed my350z soccer thread.

^ That's hilarious..

Schalke / Twente is a good match. It's not a very high-profile match, but the one I am really looking forward to is AZ Alkmaar / Udinese at the Friuli. That will be a fun match, Udinese need to turn over a 2-0 aggregate deficit, and Di Natale should be back in the lineup. Hopefully they pick up the pace, they've been horrible to watch recently, VERY slow pace.

I'm still laughing at Marseille going through. Ranieri is still in charge of Inter for now, but the noose tightens ever faster...!

I want APOEL to make a Cinderella run to the finals...but I'm not sure if that's mean or not. They'd get absolutely SHATTERED by Barcelona.

Realistically, we could have Barca / Bayern or El Clasico in the UCL finals. I really, really despise the thought of yet another Clasico. They're not even classic anymore.

i too dislike the idea of another Clasico but i don't think it will get to that, we all know Madrid doesn't perform vs Barcelona (seems like some sort of physiological barrier in Madrid players).

i think Marseille is going to the team to surprise by continuing in the tourny. between Barca and Bayern i think it will be a good match but Barca will come out on top.

besides that one crap game Milan had.....i feel they will reach the final (Barca v Milan, if they don't meet before). Barcelona will absolutely tear apart any of the teams still in the tourny but Milan proved twice it can stand up to them in the group stages (Barcelona had too many luck goals) vs them.

Hasn't been a good year for Manchester United in Europe. They are out of the Europa League:

Athletic Bilbao 2 Manchester United 1; agg 5-3: match report - Telegraph

Man City is on their way out too. They'll need to score four to advance. 1 pulled back so far from Kun Aguero.

So not exactly my dream draw, but still an interesting one nonetheless:

Apoel Nicosia v Real Madrid

Marseille v Bayern Munich

Benfica v Chelsea

AC Milan v Barcelona


to the semi-finals;

Marseille/Bayern Munich v APOEL Nicosia/Real Madrid

Benfica/Chelsea v AC Milan/Barcelona

omg I hope he pulls through.

Either he's had an undiagnosed heart condition or just some rare sudden failure. That's so scary.
