Auxerre (France) v PSV Eindhoven (Holland)
Villareal (Spain) v AS Roma (Italy) |
first off, good on you for making this thread.
second off why the fuck have celtic played three european games in three weeks (as has every one else in the uefa cup) it's a bit harsh on all teams involved..
Arsenal (England)1 v Celta Vigo 0(Spain) (agg 4-2)
Vigo are a weak spanish side with little to offer and quite frankly do not deserve to be in the european cup never mind the last 16. They got here via poor sportsmanship from ac milan and will go no further.
Real Madrid (Spain)3 v Bayern Munich 2 (agg 4-2)(Germany)
real madrid, famous for their attacking attitude to the game. as pointed out, they are missing a couple of key players, but still have the fire power to put a few past the dismal oliver khan. with bayern anxious for goals it will leave them open at the back, however with madrid this seems to be a constant problem. A high scoring game. Madrid will be victorious.
AS Monaco (Monaco)1 v Lokomotiv Moscow 0 (2-2) (Russia)
i know very little about either teams so i'll make a conservative judgement, monaco to progress on the away goal rule.
AC Milan (Italy)3 v Sparta Prague 0 (agg 3-0)(Czech Republic)
Belisconi has demanded a more attacking milan team, he will get it in this game. Milan's fire power will be too much for this hearty prague outfit. Expect Kaka on the score sheet.
Newcastle United (Geordieland)0 v Real Mallorca 0(Spain)
This will be a drab affair as most newcastle's european ties are
 The st james pitch will favour the geordies, but goals will not feature in this tie i'm afraid.
Celtic (Scotland) 2 v Barcelona 1(Catalonia)
personally i'm shitting myself at the prospect of neil lennon having to mark ronaldhinio, but celtic will come thru this first leg tie will no less than a draw. Their heart and determanation makes up for their inferiority on the skills side. Barcelona are a moody team and if we can keep the ball off them then they will not work well as a unit, the bhoys can get thru this one...
Benfica (Portugal) 2 v Inter Milan 0(Italy)
inter milan are a shambles. with vieri suspended they have no chance either home or away.
Liverpool (England)1 v Marseille 1(France)
i like marseille, i like their style and i especially like drogba up front. they will get the draw against one of the worst liverpool teams in years, and easily take the tie when they return to the stade velodrome.
Genclerbirligi (Turkey)0 v Valencia 1(Catalonia)
this turkish lot can spring a surprise or too, but all their magic will have no affect in making valencia disappear. the spanish giants are a fantastic team and my tip for the cup. The first leg will be tight and valencia will win it comfortably at the mestalla
Auxerre (France)1 v PSV Eindhoven 1(Holland)
Most boring tie of the round. Two mediocre teams that never spring surprises. I would stay clear of this one if your a fan of good football.
Villareal (Spain)0 v AS Roma 2(Italy)
roma on top form, totti pulling all the strings and a defence like the hoover dam. Roma will take this tie and will progress to the final as well.
That is all...
