Any prediction on who will go through to the semi-finals?
Chelsea(ENG) - Arsenal(ENG)......I think Arsenal's luck will run dry. they are on a great run of form but can't win every game, can they? It is also hard to sweep teams you see so often, so the law of averages tells me Chelsea is due for a result against the London rivals.
Deportivo La Coruna(ESP) - AC Milan(ITL)......Deportivo is a very good team but are struggling domestically and may not have the fire power to break down the great Italian defense, althought Nesta picked up an injury and his status will be interesting. I pick Milan to go ahead in a typical low scoring Italian affair.
Real Madrid(ESP) - AS Monaco(FRA)......Monaco are a very strong team and have some attacking flair with players like Giuly and MOrientes but even with a weakened defense I feel Madrid is capable ofwalking over the principality. Of all the fixtures, this one
seems to be the easiest to predict. But you never know, which is why they play the games!
FC Porto(POR) - Olympique Lyon(FRA).....Next to Chelsea - Arsenal, I think this will be the most entertaining fixture. Both teams are attack minded and neither will be intimidated by the other. This could be a classic attacking matchup with speed and creativity all over the field. I like Porto's defense, but Lyon have more weapons offensively. Whoever is at the top of their game on each matchday will come out on top. I think Lyon just have that extra bit of pace and creativity so I pick them, but his is close.
So I think Chelsea to meet Madrid, and Milan to meet Lyon.
Once the Semis are determinedI will pick my winners...hahaif I had to pick a winner right now I would go with MIlan, but a lot can change....
