The Last 16 of Europe!
Inter Milan v. Manchester United: Well..Even the finals wouldn't get this interesting.The most interesting of all the EPL match-ups in the Champions League. Two-time defending Italian champions against the two-time defending champions of England. My two favorite mangers..... My two favorite teams to play as in FIFA 09. How do you separate them? Form, that’s how. Manchester United have it, and will settle for a well-deserved draw going back to Old Trafford. But Jose's Inter are too Strong for it Prediction : Inter Milan
Arsenal v. Roma: Luciano Spalletti’s team boast my favorite player outside of England in the talismanic Francesco Totti. Arsenal have very few players that I like. This isn’t a popularity contest though, and right now the Gunners are a better team and will take the first leg. Prediction: Arsenal
Chelsea v. Juventus: Another tough call as the teams are similar in lots of ways. My gut is telling me the Bridge shows outsiders how tough a place it can be to play in, momentarily restoring the old glory of years past. Prediction: Chelsea
Real Madrid v. Liverpool: Would be a great final, don’t you think? The Spanish influence of Liverpool playing the Spanish giants themselves. It’s not to be, however, as these two meet in the first knockout round. I think the Reds will hold out for a draw in this one, despite being dangerously outplayed. Prediction 1-1 tie.
Atletico Madrid vs Porto The Spanish side will have to give Porto the respect they deserve, if they are to beat them. Porto are not just any side. They are two time winners of the Champions League, with one of those coming recently in the 2003-04 season, under the able guidance of Jose Mourinho. Another noteworthy fact is that this is the team that beat Arsenal to take the top spot in Group H.Prediction : Atletico
Lyon Vs Barcelona : This According to me is way one sided. Barca are reigning supremacy everywhere they go. La Liga, Champions League, everywhere and the most brilliant thing is they score around 2.75 goals every match. Well Lyon are not Bad but when compared to Barca they are just too weak. But who can find there can be a dark horse in the form of Lyon for Barca. Prediction : Barcelona
Sporting Vs Bayern: Bayern Munich have a point to prove to everyone. After oliver Kahn left everone is speaking that they are not the old Club which demolished everyone . Will they prove everyone wrong? Prediction : Tie
