Champions League Draw

Couldn't have been worse for Arsenal, could it?
Can United cope with Bayern's front 4?
Interesting times ahead..

1/4 Finals:
Inter Milan v CSKA Moscow
Arsenal v Barcelona
Bayern Munich v Manchester United
Lyon v Bordeaux

Semi-Finals:
Inter/CSKA Moscow v Arsenal/Barcelona
Bayern/Man United v Lyon/Bordeaux

Tough games for both Arsenal and ManU but at least ManU are playing at home in the 2nd leg.

Tougher route for Arsenal to get through to the final

Should be great games between Arsenal and Barca. It will be difficult for Arsenal, but I think they can do it

There's no easy games in the quarter finals of the CL. If you wanna win it, you've got to play the best at some stage.

Arsenal v Barcelona - should be an excellent football display.
Obviously Barca are favourites but I'm happy with the draw, playing a footballing side twice is a good test of how good we are, as long as we're focussed. Would have been nice to have had RvP available, Gallas too but, hey, we've come this far - let's give it a go.
Arsenal v ManU CL Final anyone?

You're right jpr our chances rest a lot on our injury situation. I've watched Barca a lot this season and they can be beaten.

I don't think Arsenal have enough in defence to cope with Barca's attacking flair. Should be a fantastic spectacle though, the two best footballing teams in the world, and I hope you do turn them over.

We also have attacking flair and not many teams in La Liga really go at Barca. It should be very interesting and if both teams are up for it, it should be a feast for football lovers.

I dont think Arsenal have enough to turn Barcelona over... Think Barcelona would find it harder against a team like Inter or Chelsea..

Are Barca that great a team defensively though? Brilliant going forward and Clichy will have to up his game against Messi. I saw the game last Satruday when he got a hat trick and he was brilliant, as was Henry when he came on at half time. Think they will be two great games

Nice draw for Man U I think they will get to the final no problem. Arsenal are fucked, if by some miracle they beat Barca then Milan are waiting for them. I can't see them winnning either game TBH. Milan v Man U final - the special one will triumph.
