Arsenal vs Juventus
Barcelona vs Benfica
Ac Milan vs Lyon
Inter/Ajax vs Villareal

is it just me or does the CL quarterfinals look very mediocre this season since so many of the big boys are out

Milan - Lyon will have to be the highlight tie of the quarters for me ... both teams are fantastic in europe... arsenal juve is going to be overshadowed with the vieira's return to highbury and for vieira its probably going to end the way he was used to during his time at highbury - being on the winning team
barca and inter (should they qualify) should have no trouble reaching the semis

The only 'weaker' sides in there are villareal and benfica - the other teams are all huge, Lyon may not be huge on money terms, but they have been playing some of the best football out of anyone in the last three years in europe.

If all results go the way that is expected then the semi final and finals are going to be amazing.

I was hoping we would see barca and ac milan face each other in the final but it's now impossible which is a disapointment.
