Champs League 2004/5: Final 8

[cfrealmadrid]

if adriano keeps playing like that, they'll beat any team they face. forza inter!

[soccerchic_06]

i honestly have no idea!!

[hackr17]

i hope AC milan or chelsea win. These two teams have exceptional defense, midfield and attack. what more would you want.

i'm definitely expecting an AC vs Chelsea final

what about the old lady?

[cfrealmadrid]

i couldn't honestly say any of the 8 are out of the running yet. and how about that psv / lyon draw? that's the one i want to watch.

Yeah, it's defense versus offense, PSV all the WAYY!!!!!! Phillip Cocu is awesome, former Barca man, and van Bommel great playmaker and can hold the ball off very nicely, also they have a lethal finisher in Hasselink.

Lyon on the other hand have no defense but amazing offense, Wiltord is back and better than ever, he seems to be finishing every chance he gets. Mikael Essien is an amzing talent, and hopefully Barcelona will sign him in the offseason. His playmaking skills combined with Juninho's will make it hard for Alex, Bouma, Ooijer, and Lee.

Alex is also a great offensive threat, he is used for set pieces, he has great aerial ability and has scored a number of headers. DeMarcus Beasley is also a great threat, his speed will make it hard for the French defenders.

My prediction....

2-1 first leg for PSV
1-1 2nd leg, but Lyon will dominate

3-2 aggregate

i wanna see a chelsea-milan final

[Caniggia]

Milan is my favourite. But dont under estimate Bayern Munich. They never look talented, but everyyear they are hard to die

[Maradona]

Nah I wont think they will survive the quaterfianls because they will play against Chelsea. Even though I dont like Jose Mourinho I support Chelsea.

[cfrealmadrid]

here's my predictions (aggregate)

chelsea v bayern: 4-3
milan v inter: 2-3
psv v lyon: 2-1
juve v liverpool: 3-0

[FCBarcelona]

Pretty hard to imagine Lyon scoring only 1 goal.

[cfrealmadrid]

you said it yourself, psv has a great defense

[FCBarcelona]

3-2 seems the more likely score.

[cfrealmadrid]

3-2 or 2-1. psv will win by a goal though

i think juventus will beat liverpool but you dont no .
