Chelsea
Apoel
Benfica
Marseille
Milan
Bayern
Real
Barca

They do the semis draw too so:

Chelsea v Apoel then winners of Marseille v Benfica = Chelsea v Benfica

Real v Barca then winners of Bayern v Milan = Real v Bayern

Final Chelsea v Real
 
Only if money has changed hands will that happen! Can't see Real coming through that side of the draw if it did. Barca have the mark on them in the big games. Barca v Bayern will be very interesting.
 
Apoel is the dream draw for us, but Barca or Real will most likely get them so that Messi or Ronaldo respectively can boost their goal tally for the season.
 
I've said all along Real are the team to beat in this tournament.

So long as the ties are 2 legged affairs Barca are easily beatable as are Bayern IMO.

We've not lost to Barca in any of our last 5 so we wouldn't do as badly as people think, even Arsenal almost got by them (w/10 men) last season <ok>

Bayern have the extra motivation of winning it on their own turf so they are best avoided.

For me the ideal sceanario would be:

Barcelona vs Real Madrid/Bayern vs AC Milan

VS

Benfica vs Marseille/APOEL vs Chelsea
 
real and barca will be kept apart,so that there's a good chance they will meet in the final,which is what uefa want

Given the potential for it kicking off, i acftually think Uefa would hate that to be the final. Can you imagine a pitch brawl on the biggest stage in club competition and Jose poking people left right and centre!!
 
Real and barca games are always dire because real are one of the few sides barca sometimes have trouble with. When this happens then barca resort to ridiculous diving and cheating to gain the edge. This is exagerated as real do try and play more physically vs them.

I know barcas record vs real is good. But in at least a few of these games they have won due to getting real players sent off with their persistant diving, all round cheating and strategic influence of the referee.
 
like i said earlier in the thread it's the final,even though there's a chance of it kicking off, all money for uefa

What do you mean 'all money for uefa'? Are you suggesting that the CL Final will not be sold out if it's not Real v Barca? Also,you do know that the gate receipts are a tiny fraction of the CL's worth? The gate receipts for the final are less than 1% of CL income.
By your logic,if it is about money,then Uefa would want Bayern as the game is in Germany.

So explain yourself.
