Some very tasty ties there. Real vs Utd, Arsenal vs Bayern and Milan vs Barca all look worth watching.
Can SAF finally beat a top draw European side? real were superb when the galacticos went 3 up at half time in 2003, and going 3 up at Old t one season too
Exactly the same ties in all 8 matches as in the rehearsal. What's are the odds of that!? Not that confident, not at all to be honest. Welcome home, Ronaldo
Real Madrid, Milan AC, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus....just some of the top European sides that SAF has beaten.
Great tie. Real is a great team and there should be no hint of complacency on our part. We know who we are up against. If we get beat by a better team fair enough but I think we should be able to get through if we get a result in the first leg. BRING IT ON...
Milan might be a big club but they're fading badly as a top team, I don't expect it to be a close tie at any point. Shaktar/Dortmund has some potential to be an exciting tie, two promising sides looking to establish themselves as real contenders. You vs Real is definitely the tie of the round 2 big clubs, 2 dodgy defences and 2 attacking line ups full of stars.
Hope Vidic is back and that Cleverly and Anderson and Kagawa are fit. Would give us a chance. Good game shaping up, hope Jose doesn't set them up too defensively.
Does anyone want to kidnap both Giggs and Scholes prior to each game and then release them at FT? There's a few quid in it for you..
Possibly but Real is not unbeatable over 2 legs. at the end of the first tie, we will know what we have to do. If our defence has improved by then, and our strikeforce keeps firing, we have a great chance. I must say that I dreaded one of the italian or german sides. Dortmund is particularly dangerous and the italians are always difficult. A really fantastic tie to look forward to...
