Chelsea vs Barcelona
Gosh!! This is a definite MUST WATCH!! Barcelona will be looking for revenge after Chelsea controversially knock them out last season at Stamford Bridge in the same competition. Ronaldinho against Lampard, this is going to superb.
Real Madrid vs Arsenal
Arsenal will be kicking themselves for drawing against the Spanish giants. It will be interesting to watch how will Arsene Wenger react as manager-less Real Madrid has been trying poach the Frenchman away from Highbury.
Werder Bremen vs Juventus
Juventus will be happy to have drawn against a relatively easy opponent in German club Werder Bremen. No one gives a chance to Bremen. Juventus is a team in hot form, leading the Serie A with 9 points clear at the top of the table.
Bayern Munich vs AC Milan
Battle of the giants. This is another match to look out for. Both of them stand a good chance in progressing into the quarter finals. Roy Makaay will pit against veteran Paolo Maldini while Michael Ballack will clash with Italian bulldog Gattuso.
PSV Eindhoven vs Lyon
Dutch champ against the French champ. This tie is nothing new to both sides as they met in the quarter-finals last season in this competition. PSV came up tops with Park Ji Sung n Van Bommel as their main players in the team. Both have since left for Man Utd n Barcelona respectively n Lyon lost their hitman Michael Essien to Chelsea. This will be another explosive match nevertheless.
FC Ajax vs Inter Milan
Inter are slight favourites for this match. Ajax is still a fairly inexperienced side with a lot to learn. Look out for Adriano of Inter to wreak havoc in the Ajax defence.
Benfica vs Liverpool
The team I support couldn’t have a better draw than this. With due respect to Benfica, Liverpool will not have much trouble against the Portuguese team. Liverpool will be buying over their right winger Simao Sambrosa, which effectively reduces their firepower. It’s a must win 2-legged tie for the European Champions.
Rangers vs Villareal
It’s the 1st time both teams have got this far in the Champions League. We will see who will triumph in this amateur dogfight. I’ll be betting on Villareal winning due to their Latin American flair play.
