1 Arsenal FC (ENG) v Juventus (ITA)
-If Arse plays like they did against Real, no problem for them. But if they go back to the form they were earlier this season and collapse defensively as they have done before, Juve wins.
Predicting Henry trying to take over the game, only to run into a wall called Viera.
Juve wins
2 Olympique Lyonnais (FRA) v AC Milan (ITA)
-Probably the most interesting and potentially most exciting matchup.
I really, really want Lyon to win because I think they do deserve it. But no Juninho (suspended for first leg) means they will be hard pressed to come up ahead after first leg at Stade Gerland and Milan usually eats up opponents at Meazza. Again, one slip up from Lyon and Milan wins.
Milan wins
3 FC Internazionale Milano (ITA) v Villarreal CF (ESP)
-Villarreal struggled against Rangers and always inconsistent, esp. Riquelme and Forlan. Inter is the weakest of 3 Italian teams, but they have definitely more quality than Villareal.
Inter wins.
4 SL Benfica (POR) v FC Barcelona (ESP)
-On paper, looks like Barca will thrash Benfica, but Benfica did have some huge results against big English teams. Then again, they are facing Barca not some English team so Barca without Puyol for first leg should win easily. Benfica don't have much to stop Ronaldinho from shredding their defence
Barca wins |

1. Arsenal v Juventus
Its gonna be an interesting match but I can bet Juventus will find a wayy to go through, even if it is bu luck as they did with Werder Bremen.
2. Lyon v Milan
This is going to be one hell of a match.... I really want Lyon to go trhough, but then again, Milan is such a solid team Its really hard to predict the outcome.
3. Inter v Villareal
Inter goes through
4. Benfica v Barca
Hate to admit this, but I will be pretty surprised if Benfica go through. I think Barca has the easiest path to the semis... althoug I dont hink it will be SOOO easy as most people expect |

| Barcelona has got big problems before the first leg, Marquez, Puyol and Edmilson will most likely not be participating in the game. |

So, It looks like Arsenal is getting a quality attacker. He can provide alot if he gets to play, he's a gigantic player, a great player with the head, he works hard and can also shoot from distance.
I hope he gets the chance to play for Arsenal, He deserves it for sure. |

Arsenal hasn't really impressed in the EPL this season and they're not going to win anything there.
I still think they're playing a lot clever and better in the Champions League this season than the seasons before. This is why:
It's pretty clear that they haven't played any good in the Premier League this season. They didn't get any good start so they decided to play smart in the Champions League. I think they've learned how to play in the European football, they don't have to impress everyone everytime they step up, but they have to take points and plan this properly.
Also, Thierry Henry has developed to much this season for Arsenal in CL, even Dennis Bergkamp is playing well when he gets the chance sometimes.
They've got a much stronger defence, a strong midfield with the talented Fabregas as one of the leaders, and ofcourse amazing players like Thierry Henry never fails.
The EPL may be a dissapointment, but they're still haning in there and they're now facing Juventus in two legs. |
