When's the draw? This Friday or next week?
LE: Friday at 11 GMT


Arsenal could be a lot of fun! I hope we get them or the frenchies.

I don't want CSKA. We don't do well against Russian teams.

Here is what i think from worse to best pick:
ManU - they have shown they can beat us in 2-leg, Rooney is in top shape and away goal for them would be a disaster, id rather beat them in final like last year
CSKA - we really do suck vs Russian sides, dont have any recent memory of us shining. Also dont underestimate the weather. Its still cold and snowy in Russia and it could be very well the case in April aswell, also the trip is considerably longer then to any other team
Inter - they have improved and id hate Eto scoring here.
Arsenal - never can be really underestimated, even tho they do play like us at times and would be a nice game overall.
Bayern Munich - well i dont think they are very dangerous, their defense is shaky and thats what we know how to take advantage of best. Granted, Robben and Ribery can be dangerous, but considering their games vs Fiorentina, not much of a threat
Lyon - seem to be the in-form team in France. Still i think we can break them to pieces like last year
Bordeaux - not in best shape, we can beat them with ease.

I second whoever said that last night was one of the best performances of the season so far. I think this could be the match we needed to round the corner and kick into a higher gear for the final months of the season. Messi played as mature and complete of a game as I have ever seen from him. Lehman is lucky that he didn't put 4-5 goals past him alone. I liked how Pep assembled our midfield for this match by dragging Messi back into the right midfield position with Iniesta on the other wing. At times our shape looked much more like a 4-2-2-2 and Toure and Biscuits ability to win damn near every ball was crucial.

I'd like Bordeaux in the draw. With the exception of CSK Moscow, they are the only team in the draw we haven't in recent years in the CL. I would like to avoid drawing Man U or Inter at this point as they have the most talented rosters and both seem to be in the best form of the teams available.

The rumor is that last night CR sat in front of his tv with a notebook and a pen taking notes. :lol:

Guyz our disposition has been increasing finally and now I think that is the moment to say that I could draw no matter which team except Mu that is recently in the best disposition with rooney on the top of this cake. I would not like to travel far away from Barca so CKSK-a is not my the best option here. Better take bordeaux , Arsenal or Lyon. Inter seems to look very strong against chelsea and I don't know what should I think about their disposition the one thing is that they have eliminated Chelsea the second there is question if chelsea played as poor or inter as superb. I don't know. But i am not scared and i would not be if we drawn Inter. I am in 95% sure that all value on Inter's side Wesley Snider has given and the key would be to eliminated his dangerous pases. Guyz I am sure that with Xavi and Yaya in the middle now there is not many teams in europe that could face us at camp nou.

Anyone, just give us the second leg at Camp Nou. I wouldn't mind facing Man Utd or Inter as long as we get to play the return leg at home.
