Champions League 2011/2012

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League For those who don't know what it is.

Just a topic to discuss matches, predict winners, expectations of ur favourite teams, etc...

Last year Barca won, pretty easily even. I hope some other teams step it up, and give them a better match, have high expectations for Real Madrid next year, don't like em, but Mourinho's teams usually get best results in 2nd year.

Also hoping Twente will survive the qualifying rounds, but meh chances to draw against Arsenal and such, so highly doubt it.

Besides that curious how Napoli will do it, young team with great potential, think they could surprise many.

this year real madrid

[Pieter]

i think ajax gonna win this (or at least come thru first round)

if barca dont have any big changes, they have a huge chance of winning it again, messi is just unstoppable

[DeltaPapa]

I thinnk Man City will splash out the cash this year, and have a good shot at it.

Possibly Man City Vs Barca Final

[Octavarium]

Barca look likely to win it again... and I hope they do as they always put on a good performance. Plus it's funny to see them fuck up man u all day.

Possibly Man City Vs Barca Final

Why the sudden change for Man City, last years just been spilling the money, with bad results seeing their quality of players, what makes them that much better than last year, to be able to reach the final atleast?

True, but towards the end of the season they started to improve. Last year was the first year they brang in a whole new squad who had never played together. This year they know each other, they know how they play ect. I just think they will be a good force

(not a City fan)

[Lip Job]

Barca all the way again

Messi's unstoppable

[Steroids]

barca is basically the spain team but with some gr8 players thrown in at random posistions. doubt they'll lose anything.

[Mucky]

Barca again and for atleast another 3/4 years

[Mori]

Obv Barca they won it so easily this year and 2 champion leagues ago just unlucky last year

Messi Xavi Iniesta deadly trio can find eachother blindly hence they're #1

[Toby|Doggie]

GOOOOOONERSSSS

[X0]

hope my team ajax makes it to like semi final, YES IT KAN HAPPEN

or barca idm losing to barca semis

[Blitz]

Liverpool, GOIN FOR DEM 6 STARS ON THE SHIRT SON.

Nahjk, reckon it's gonna be Barca again, amazing team.

Do agree with you on the Napoli front though, Lavezzi/Cavani/Hamsik.

Will have to see what happens.

[He11]

Napoli will be losing at least 1 of their "Big 3" forwards so I expect they will struggle. I wouldnt be suprised to see AC Milan make it far, possibly to the final

[FearMy Def]

manchester united always

!

[Grifte]

Panathinaikos lost vs Odense 3-4 home, while first match in Denmark was 1-1 lol. Riot time in Greece v235352

[Octavarium]

It's always riot time in Greece, there's no money.

[Grifte]

Odense BK (Den) - Villarreal (Spa)

FC Twente (Ned) - Benfica (Por)

Arsenal (Eng) - Udinese (Ita)

Bayern München (Dui) - FC Zürich (Zwi)

Olympique Lyon (Fra) - Rubin Kazan (Rus)

Wisla Kraków (Pol) - APOEL Nicosia (Cyp)

Maccabi Haifa (Isr) - RC Genk (Bel)

Dinamo Zagreb (Kro) - Malmö FF (Zwe)

FC Kopenhagen (Den) - Viktoria Pilzen (Tsj)

BATE Borisov (WRu) - Sturm Graz (Oos)

Any predictions?

Personally hope Twente can make it, but highly doubt it, Benfica has a great team. Arsenal probs drawed against the best team they could get, but Udinese without Sanchez shouldn't be that much of a problem. Looking forward to it :D

City vs Munchen and Milan vs Barca should be quite interesting, also lol'd at Utd being at the same group as Benfica, been 3 times in 5 years in the same one with Benfica if I remember correctly.

[Octavarium]

And as always, fucking Man U got the easiest group. I swear to God it must be rigged those fucking cunts.

[Grifte]

lol like Poule A, everyone could win from eachother, totally unpredictable imo, and then u see like Poule C and H, were u can put the #1 and #2 with ease.

Decent group for Ajax, Lyon ain't that good anymore, maybe Zagreb can surprise ;d

Arsenal's group is pretty good too, Dortmund's really good, and Olympiakos and Marseille have decent teams, can surprise if they have a good day

And the arsenal group is rly hard to tell aswell cuz arsenal sold 2 of their great players they might actually end up 3rd..
