Nice line up!
What about Barca v Milan in the final?
Out of those pairings I would predict Juve, Inter, Barca, Lyon, PSV, Milan and Bayern to advance. I wouldnt have a clue who would advance between Leverkusen and Liverpool.

Of the english sides, only Liverpool can be happy..Bremen & Lyon must be happy. some classic ties there; Real v Juve, United v Milan, Barca v Chelsea, Arsenal v Bayern.....4 of the fancied teams are going out.
Great for the competition.
Barca versus Chelski is the tie of the round. Ronaldino, Eto v Duff, Robben
Always look on the bright side of life
Can't see it myself, Eoin. Having seen both Milan and Barcelona this season (against Celtic in the CL groups) I think Chelsea will have the edge on Barcelona. I've yet to see Mourinho's systems bettered, and even though I really respect the man, I'm not sure that Frank Rijkaard will be able to match his Chelsea counterpart in the mind-games department.
At this stage, I can't see past a Chelsea-Milan final.

I'd go for : Juve,Inter, Chelsea, Bremen, Leverkusen, Monaco, United and Arsenal.Originally Posted by eoinh
I take it everyone here predicting the final two also sucessfully picked Monaco & Porto at this stage last year
Many twists and turns ahead me thinks!!
Foot.ie - NFL Fantasy Football Champion, 2006!
1. Real Madrid CF v Juventus FC (Juve)
2. FC Porto v FC Internazionale Milano (porto)
3. FC Barcelona v Chelsea FC (Chelsea)
4. Werder Bremen v Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon)
5. Liverpool FC v Bayer 04 Leverkusen (Leverkusen)
6. PSV Eindhoven v AS Monaco FC (Monaco)
7. Manchester United FC v AC Milan (Milan)
8. FC Bayern München v Arsenal FC (Arsenal)
Very exciting draw. A few penalty shootout deciders I reckon. I cant see past Chelsea to win it though.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
hmm,it's funny how all the smaller clubs got paired together,some cracking ties there though,impossible to predict
I'd nearly guarantee that the winner of that tie will win the Champions league.
Champions!
Some classic encouters to look forward to! Can't wait to see Milan knock the Mancs out! A Chelsea/Milan final is very likely but it's a funny old game! Liverpool got a favourable draw but it's still very hard to see them progress.

I can't see Liverpool progressing. They're just not strong enough in too many positions. Chelsea v Barcelona should be a cracker, it's a hard one to call, although I've a feeling Chelsea might sneak it.
The Chelsea v Barca game will be clashing with the United v Milan game. Tough decision to be made as to which one to watch!
UCD sha-la-la
3 great teams in action that night. Im going to watch Chelsea v Barca as thats the gamer with 2 great teams. Milan should come through the other game with ease.

We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Anybody want to bet with me that RTE or TV3 wont show it?
Only if you pay out if they don't show it.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Whoever gets through this round has a great chance of winning it as half the favourites will be gone.
I think Juve, Inter, Barca, Milan, Arsenal, Lyon, Liverpool & Monaco will go through. If I was Benitez i'd definately try and sign Anelka now, Morientes is on his way but he can't play in the CL. Gerrard is suspended for the Anfield leg, so it's a big ask. I think Arsenal will get it together and beat boring Bayern. Shevchenko to make an arse out of Ferdinand. I want Barca to win it, so i'm going for them over €hel$ea.
