I'd actually love to see Manchester United v Borussia Dortmund.
What a game that would be! Dortmund have already outclassed the other half of Manchester, but against United they would have a much harder time I'm sure.

Hmmmm... Depends on United's match against Real as well. United scored 1 goal at the Bernabeu, whereas Dortmund scored 2, even though one was a handball before the goal. So let's see about how Madrid - United end up, and we can guess about Dortmund - United then, since Dortmund already outclassed both City and Real.
Madrid could of scored 4 goals or something in the first leg against United. Luckily for United that De Gea was in top form. Madrid hit the woodwork too If I remember correctly.
United could of also beaten Madrid by a couple of goals as well (Van Persie fluffed shot, Giggs taking too much time and not shooting).
I cant wait for the second leg. I really cant call it. The best team on the night will go through is all I can say.
What i'd like to see is a champions league game (final 8) with Barcelona against a team that doesn't park the bus!
Real
Bayern
Juve
PSG (Valencia still have a chance even thogh i must be somewhat realistic)
Barca (you cant predict politically correct on every game, and its not really THAT huge if barca goes through)
Shalke
Malaga
BVB
@ramaboy10
park the bus? read the last comments on the Milan-Barcelona thread.
@rama: I would also like to see Barca adapt to different team's tactics instead of complain about how they had more possesion almost everytime they lose.
Arsenal to go through somehow!
@Quikzyyy : "Arsenal to go through somehow!"... Pigs can fly too, somehow!
1-I would say there is 90% chance that Milan will go through knowing that Italian teams are well organized but a situation like last year vs Arsenal might happen.
2-For RM-MU game, its still open. RM will dominate the game again as their midfield is better than MU's. It will come down to defense and who'll concede first.
Arsenal almost pulled a nearly impossible comeback last year against Milan, and the gunners were away. Having said that, anything can happen.
Milan to win Barça at the Camp Nou!
AC Milan
Madrid
Arsenal
Juve
Malaga
Valencia
Borussia Dortmund
Galatasaray
The odds to qualify according to BET365 on the real game...
the odds on barca are 2.20
As much as I love my team, I don't think we're going to make it in.
@xFarghaly: My sympathies, but I think you're right. :/
@BidoneCR7: It could easily go either way, you're right. I wonder, though, about that midfield domination. When you have 50,000 fans roaring at you, hoping you'll lose the ball, for 90 mins, that can put you off your stride.
Personally, I think all predictions are, at this point, pointless. This thread itself is an exercise in futility. Just wait until the games are over, because otherwise anyone can say anything.
No-one (myself included), for example, thought that Milan would win 2-0 against Barcelona.
No-one.
Kinda makes the whole 'prediction' thing kinda useless, no?
@lodatz it is kinda useless but the forum is made for discussion. So we might as well discuss predictions.
I really really want arsenal to go through. But realistically, what I really hope is us not getting trashed. If we can get a draw at the allianz arena I'd be kind of satisfied. I don't know if the players or the fans could bare another humiliation.
@KingHenry: you're right, and I'm not really intending to complain about it. It just seems to be one of those things that breeds silly conflicts, and people arguing over their predictions.
Hehe, I guess that does count as discussion.
Here's the bracket, at any rate:
Whoever wins out of United/Real is going to be facing either Milan or Barca, and if Arsenal do make it past Bayern, there's the winner of BVB/Shaktar to face.
Looks to me as though the easiest ride to the semis is on the top and bottom of the bracket.
Er, oops: I forgot to post the link!

Lodatz you are aware of that there will be a draw for the Quarter finals too...
Ack, I forgot. >.< My bad.
I was thrown off because of the Europa League system, which I'm not used to caring about. ;)
I think:
Bayern Munich
Borrusia Dortmund
Juventus
Manchester United
AC Milan
Paris-Saint Germain
Schalke
Porto
What do you people think?
