Rangers vs. Villarreal

I'll start the bidding!

Chelsea vs. Barcelona - Barcelona
Werder Bremen vs. Juventus - Juventus
Real Madrid vs. Arsenal - Tough one, i fancy Arsenal though.
Bayern Munich vs. AC Milan - AC Milan
Ajax vs. Inter - Inter
PSV vs. Lyon - Lyon
Benfica vs. Liverpool - Liverpool
Rangers vs. Villarreal - Villareal

I can't see Chelsea beating Barca again. Barca have progressed more than Chelsea since last year and will still be pissed from last year, possibly tie of the draw due to the bad blood between em. I still want Chelsea to go through though.

The Real vs. Arsenal one stands out for me cos of the way the two teams play, Arsenal are at their best when a team comes at them and they exploit the space they leave behind, Real are in troubled times but they'll raise their game for this. Good to see Beckham back in England playin a Premiership team too.

Liverpool should be able to get rid of Benfica without too much hassle, Benitez has got them playing superbly and i've already had a cheeky bet on them to win again (40/1!) purely down to how well Benitez approaches the Champions League.

Can't wait til these games kick off though, hope the Chelsea and Arsenal ones are on different nights, should be explosive!

Ajax vs. Inter ---> R.I.P. Ajax. I dont see them winning that.

PSV vs. Lyon ---> Should be a good one. I can see PSV winning this.


Some seriously tough matches lined up there.

PSV vs. Lyon
Benfica vs. Liverpool
Rangers vs. Villarreal

I agree, but I give Benfica a good chance against liverpool. Liverpool is strugglin this year and Benfica already proved that they can play ball. Ask Manu lol.

 

[PaulyPac]

How are Liverpool struggling? They will beat Benfica...

Liverpool have been awesome in the Champs League so far this year.

Benfica Fear Peter Crouch.

 

[DPG iz all I C]

I mean will you be placing indivudual bets on the games or will you be doubling or trebling some games ?

 

[Jibster]

PSV got their last year and nearly did Milan to get to the final.

difference:
they lost Park and van Bommel! but they can beat Lyon nonetheless, even though i think Lyon will go through to the next round.
