both interesting match ups, of course barca-milan a killer one.
barca-milan...
Even though barca has seemed to be going through some rough games and not looking sharp at all, they are still the favorites in my opinion. Their players are out for blood and I believe this hunger for victory will pay up for them. As much as I'd love to see barcelona go down, I just don't think milan's defense will be able to handle them in a 180 minutes match. Milan's defense is definitely better than barca's, but barca's attack is just too powerful, and with messi coming back that will only add another big piece to barca's side.
Also, juve struggling lately has put some kind of excitement in the serie a and milan will be trying to catch them or at least secure the second spot which they're fighting with inter... On the other hand, barca pretty much sealed the deal in la liga and they can focus solely on the champions league and that's definitely a plus for them on this stage.
I hope I'm wrong, but barca should go through.
arsenal-villareal
lol I'm too tired already so pretty simple... arsenal hasn't allowed a goal in 8 games in the champions league, 2 games vs real madrid and 2 vs juve... they both might not have played their best but that's still a remarkable achievement by arsenal. Villareal on the other hand, managed to beat rangers (barely) and also managed to get past inter (barely as well)... I don't think they have shown any great display of football thus far, I mean rangers aren't even leading the spl and inter is just as bad as real madrid is right now, it's sad to say but that's really low and they barely made it in both match ups... In conclusion, arsenal has just too much on their side and they are finally believing in themselves and they think they can win the champions league, villareal won't be a match up for them... I think arsenal will decide everything in highbury by crushing villareal.
