Kind of game i can see them losing though, rather than against, say AC Milan

We'll face AC or Barca in the semi if we get past Benfica.

[Simon's Church]

Think the incentive of playing Barca in the semi will be enough to get them through.

Hope it doesn't end up being a Madrid Barcelona final, they already play about 6 times a season.

I fancy Bayern to go all the way this year. Final in Munich as well. They absolutely crucified Basel; and this was a Basel side that beat ManU - from the Official Bestest League In The Whole World. Muller (fabulous player), Robben (even if utter pcunt), Ribery are a real handful and big Gomez just knocks in goals for shits and grins.

Barca V Bayern final for me

[No Fixed Abode]

AC v Barca tonight - should be good.

[Four Of Clubs]

Bayern two up in Marseille ; will Barca make it a full set of A wins in the 1st legs - Milan look like they are trying to fashion a win themselves late on but could get caught?

Shame if Barca do get one tonight; Milan have been awesome and have mostly stifled everything so far.

... Though THAT was close from Puyol!

I thought it was ok, engrossing at least in the first half,just never quite caught light.

Ooh yeah, love a bit of stifling, awesome stuff

Milan played like the away team.......it was like when Inter beat Barca the other year

Was there any reason for Milan wearing their away kit?

Isn't Barcas away kit black?

So somebody had to change (either Barca in their 3rd or Milan in their away) - i think they felt the white kit was their "lucky" kit

IIRC Barca wore green in the group game.

Actually I know they did, its just an excuse to see this beaut of a goal again.

Not sure why you think thats not good, that was the best European tie I have ever seen. Supreme Skill v Supreme Tactics, with the cheats losing in the end.

Good game last night from a tactical viewpoint i thought, if not excitement. But ruined by the fact it was on ITV with unbeleivably biased commentary.

[No Fixed Abode]

Looks like Barca and Bayern are in the semi's.....

[postwhisperer]

they should move the finals to wembley
