Bring it on Liverpool.
-
Winner of Liverpool/Chelsea faces winner of Barca/Bayern.
I think if United get past Porto, they'll go to the finals against Liverpool for an outrageous rematch. :)
-
barca will destroy bayern at campe nou
theres no doubt in my mind
-
No if Ribery has something to say about that. I honestly think Byern can beat Barca as long at Frank is at his best.
-
Messi vs Ribery
a battle to be remembered
but Barca's the better team
-
I think Bayern can match them all over the field to be honest.
You can never say for sure tho until they meet.
I hope its another CL classic.
-
I fully believe that Bayern-Barca is anyone's game
Both play well in Champs League and the game is really gonna be about who makes the "costliest" mistakes

true i think this match will be decided either a blunder by the defence or one moment of incredibleness

Right with ya. Can't wait for this match.

Liverpool-Porto final with Porto beating Man U then Arsenal and Liverpool beating Chelsea then Barca

Barca-Bayern...
I think Bayern will win this match,if not in camp nou then in munchen for sure.
-
it all depends on the score at the nou camp in my opinion

on what do you base this besides the fact that you're bitter because Barca is raping your team in the standings

well, I think the aggregate scoreline of 12-1 should help his theory
Fair enough it was only sporting lisbon but they have had to be somewhat good if they reached the last 16

Exactly..they fucked up lisbon so i wish to do the same with barca :cheers:

Tito all I will say is that football is football. All predictions are laid to rest when the ref blow's his whistle for kick-off. Anything can happen within 90min. or more

Big game for Arsenal and United, and Liverpool too. I highly doubt Liverpool will come from behind though.
-
I actually think they can if Gerrard is ready to go
This is Liverpool and they do play their best football on European nights
VIllareal dont have cazorla or senna so they're pretty much done seeing as Arsenal are playing well and are at home

this is the internet. you can never be so sure
don't you remember the "soccer strategy" thread?
-
Sorry, I don't think Chelsea will do that bad at Stamford Bridge. Hiddink is a great manager, Chelsea will be lucky if he decides to stay.
-

3-1 to tie, 3-0 to win at stamford bridge w/guus hiddink in charge
not so much
-
If Torres scores goals like he did last game in the EPL, then maybe, but the fact that it's against Chelsea and at the Bridge, no way.
Liverpool's hopes of winning trophies again are slowly being crushed.
-
Essien shuts Gerrard down again and the tie is pretty much settled. Time to start preparing for the Barcelona game.
I love this part of the season.
-
Barca v Chelsea should be great, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, anything can happen, despite the odds.
I really hope United win, they've been playing shit lately and there is absolutely no defense. I miss Hargreaves, he can at least help out the defense instead of Ronaldo just walking back slowly, although last game he had quite a few defensive interceptions.
I hope Macheda gets some playing time too.

I forgot about that Bolton 3 goal game at the Bridge the other day.. obviously Reina didn't:
Goalkeeper Jose Reina insists Liverpool have the ability to overturn Chelsea's lead and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Liverpool trail 3-1 from the first leg of their quarter-final at Anfield and now need to score at least three goals at Stamford Bridge to turn the tie in their favour.
That is something Liverpool have not achieved at Stamford Bridge in two decades.
But, inspired by Bolton's three goals in nine minutes against Chelsea at the weekend, the Champions League final comeback against AC Milan in Istanbul four years ago and their 4-1 drubbing of Manchester United at Old Trafford this season, Reina says the Reds are far from finished.
"Istanbul should be the inspiration for us," said Reina. "We know that the tie is really difficult, but still we have hope.
"We know already that if anyone can turn this around, it's Liverpool.
"There is always something to exploit. Everybody, every team, has weak points.
"It's going to be difficult, but there is still hope. We have plenty of things to lose, but already we're losing 3-1.
"The clear favourites are Chelsea and it's in their hands, probably. If we play a fantastic, really brilliant game and they have a bad day, then of course we'll have some chances.
"We have to attack and score three goals. Even if we concede one, we'll have the chance to go to extra-time. We have to attack, that's clear. And we'll go for that.
"We have the game at Old Trafford as a big example. We won 4-1 and no-one expected us to do that. We know already it's going to be almost impossible, but if there's someone who can do it, it's going to be Liverpool."
Coach Rafa Benitez believes his side can pull off yet another amazing comeback but the Spaniard rejected suggestions that it would be better than their victory against AC Milan in the final.
"Istanbul was maybe the best ever final in the Champions League in terms of emotion," said the Spaniard. "It would be a fantastic achievement for everyone, but a final is a final.
"We have to believe and think we can win. We have the experience of Old Trafford. We can score goals away against the top sides. We have to approach this game believing we can do well.
"We know Chelsea really well. It's a question of being ready. If we score an early goal, there might be extra motivation for the players."
Benitez is reluctant to use the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster as a motivational tool but he concedes the emotion of the week could inspire both players and fans.
"It's an important week for our fans and the club," added Benitez. "We have some players who have been here a long time, and it could be an inspiration for them in this game.
"The fans will be behind the team because of the game and we can achieve something now linked with the Hillsborough memorial."
But Benitez is not banking on Chelsea making the kind of defensive mistakes they did against Bolton in the final 20 minutes of their 4-3 win at the weekend.
"They were winning, so they made some mistakes," said Benitez. "But it was a different situation. We know they can make mistakes and we can exploit this.
"The first goal will be important for either side but, for us, it would be a massive difference.
"In football, you never know what's going to happen. At this moment, we have nothing to lose. They will be under pressure because they have to win.
"But, still, we're talking about players with experience in the Champions League and the Premier League. It's a question of whether we can score that first goal. We have nothing to lose."
-
Chelseas offence will be the key. Carvalliho is getting back to fitness he might not be 100%. I can never trust Alex either. Terry is suspended.
Yes Chelseas defence will be very shaky I rember the way Torres ate up United makeshift defence.
But I trust Essien to keep Gerrard out of the game. Essien is a phenomenal specimen. :pimp:
Chelsea just need an early goal.
Porto v United is the game I look most forward to.
-

i liked united in this. the players will be afraid of the teacups and cleats that will rain down upon them should they lose. plus, i don't see them playing that badly two cl games in a row.
-
BUT
Porto has never lost at home to English Opposition and in Europe they have lost, but barely ever really
The Dragao is a bloody fortress for Porto and if they play like they can (assuming that they can repeat their first leg performance seeing as they're playing at home ie. advantage) then i wouldnt be surprised if porto won again
My guess is AT BEST FOR MAN UTD 2-2/1-1
-

yeah, i know. i just can't bet against united. nothing behind it, just a hunch
-
comon everyone lets face it,liverpool has no chance.Dont forget chelsea's record at the bridge,its something like lost only 2 games in 97 matches or something like that.I know liverpool is a very strong side with torres and gerrard,who are iincluded in the worlds best players list but gerrard has no chance of doing anything if essien doesn't leaves him.liverpools squad has quality and they could have done this against odds like aston villa or everton,a lil small sides,but they have no chance against chelsea after they lost 3-1 at anfield,remember that 4-1 thumping of united...........they only did it after they had won the game at anfield and the of real madrid after they had one the first game.
my point is the way u people say liverpool unleashes itself is only when it has won the match played with the opposition last time.
-
haha
i dont know what fool thinks liverpool have a chance
-
i don't know what fools thought Bayern had a chance even before the first leg
oh wait i do
-
well if they had podolski and klose maybe they would have had a chance
-
believe me they wouldn't
i've said this before and i'll say it again
bayern is had average route to the knockout stages (result wise)
and after two great games against mediocre Sporting they all of a sudden should win the CL?
no logic but i must say i like Bayern more than Barca and hope Bayern can do it
but this is not my heart speaking this is my brain
-
who would have thought middlesborough would beat liverpool?
miracles do happen
-
Arsenal will win 1-0 tomorrow to face Porto. I don't think United is going to win honestly, especially if Ronaldo keeps giving the ball away not tracking back. If Evans plays in the back, United will have problems again..
-
Not gonna lie, I'm afraid of the game tomorrow, not sure if United can pull it off, been so shit lately.

You do realize that Chelsea's unbeaten home record was beaten by Liverpool?
Liverpool did more than enough but it just wasnt meant to be

That a nice way of putting
and we can say the same for every match

-
haha lol tito true

-
damn, he sucks
-
what semi-finals will we have
barca vs chelsea
utd vs arsenal
i can't miss any of those two
-
Amazing hit by Ronaldo!
Arsenal/United
Barca/Chelsea
Very nice!
-
Twas amazing because
a) no one closed him down
b) no one (mainly keeper) was expecting a bullet from there, 36yards out
-
Twas amazing because
a) no one closed him down
well, yeah. the last thing i'm thinking about when i'm 35-40 yards out is "oh, shit, close down the shot." you have to pick your moments w/players like that anyway
b) no one (mainly keeper) was expecting a bullet from there, 36yards out
helton was just beaten
sometimes you just need to say "what the fuck?"
-
notice how he does a little hop for it before he realizes he was beaten, its cuz he wasnt expecting the shot, which he shouldve seeing as ronaldo CAN hit the dam thing pretty hard and he had like a 5foot radius of empty space around him
-

or he just couldn't get a read on the ball. as soon as ronaldo receives the ball, it screams shot
which he shouldve seeing as ronaldo CAN hit the dam thing pretty hard and he had like a 5foot radius of empty space around him
expecting him to hit a 40 yard shot across the keepers body at 65 miles per hour, not so much
-
overall it was a nice shot especially under the circumstances even if Helton if prone to mistakes and isnt the most dependable goalie in the world
whatd u guy say bout next round?
TBH besides todays FA Cup defeat to Chelsea (84min goal), I say we r gonna see another Barca - Arsenal final. Then again Man U can never be counted out seeing as they always seem to pop one in and keep shit tight at the back
Chelsea can probably give Barca a run for their money but i say barca go thru 3-2 on agg.
thoughts?
-
Well I'm sick of these Chelsea v Man Utd finals; (last year, probably FA Cup this year, and MAYBE Champion's League again), so I want Barcelona to win.
United v Barca
Ronaldo v Messi
:popcorn:
-
FA CUP finla could also be UCL finla
I got the first accidentally and did the second on purpose :thumbsup:
