Don't you know the motto of most German teams that face a vastly superior opponent is "Okay, we have no chance, but let's take it anyway"? (In German: "Wir haben keine Chance, also nutzen wir sie!" Very Happy

) That's why even underdogs manage to defeat big clubs in the BL or the DFB cup. Don't expect them to go into the match with the notion that they are already defeated. And if everything fits, who knows? Maybe they will cause an upset?

Your United-centric view is both alarming and disturbing.

lol, chill dudes. Arsenal and Milan is 60/40 to arsenal because they play away first. I think Arsenal are favourites. CHelsea on the other hand have a task on their hands.

Infact Leverkusen is a even match to Barcelona, not terms of attacking quality.

Thus Leverkusen decided to sign Stuttgart's reserve keeper Bernd Leno on loan and as he developed very nicely, they signed him last month for an undisclosed fee (rumoured to be around 7-8 mio Euros) on a 5 year deal.

That's honestly unfortunate. Between him and Neuer, I actually thought Adler would have been better of the two. Then again, I'm not the most avid watcher of things Bundesliga...

Can see Sturridge having a field day with that Napoli backline.

Your hoping too much, we dont know even know if you can qualify for the next round. Besides Marcelo has no trouble defend the likes of drogba, fernando dont scorres, although Mata can do some damage and Drogba, wc players after all.

Drogba is going to China in January smoking

Bayern
Benfica

All the above will advance to the last 8.

by RealGunner Sat Dec 17, 2011 5:05 am

No one expects Arsenal to win the CL, or reach the Final or reach the Semi final.

We dont have pressure on us at all.

Attacking football ftw!!!

Barca would be retarded to play a 3-man defence against Napoli's 3-man attack.

Milan have a good chance to avenge their loss to Arsenal the last time they met in the CL. Don't think their backline will be able to handle RVP though. Thiago Silva will give it a good go, but there's not enough quality around him at the moment.

By the mastch time Mexes will be back and will be have played in the league 4-5 game, he and Silva can handle RVP no problems. We have stronger team since 5-6 year. Arsenal is could draw for us.
