If Barca don't go through and Man U do, (which is a realistic possibility), I'll say Man U will take it. Can't see the Italian teams putting Man U to the sword! BUT... I will say that I think Bayern can give them a run for their money!

Bayern can do more than give Utd a run for their money. They're clearly the better side IMO.

But, as we saw last year, anyone can win in a one off final; which will be Man Utds best chance vs Bayern rather than a tie over two-legs.

The only way manure will make the final again is if they get a weak draw like they did in 2011 with OM and Schalke, and a Chel$ki team in decline. They also got all the 2nd legs at home IIRC.

Why would you say that? I think Man U and Bayern are the form teams of the CL this year, I think one of those two will win it.

Milan very impressive, I thought they were the better team for the whole match tbh. Barca didn't trouble the keeper whatsoever, it's not like Milan just parked the bus for 90 minutes either.

Would you look at that... a bitter scouse supporter writing us off. Who woulda thunk it? The only reason he didn't add Madrid to his list of teams that would dismantle us is because they clearly didn't.

I think the best team is clearly Bayern. It has all come together for them this year, and they would be highly motivated by last season's result (and the manner in which ti happened).

Well this is f**ked. A goal off an obvious handball and now all this! I can't see us coming back from this, not even in Camp Nou.

I would love to see anyone dodge that ball off funnily enough Alba's forearm

How good was Yilmaz' goal, awesome stuff.

Malaga are arguably in the best position of any of the La Liga teams to make the quarters. crazy.

If Barca don't get a miracle at Camp Nou, Bayern will win the comp, they are awesome.

I wanted them to get to the final (for the sake of my 2nd point, deep runs make teams lose focus domestically) and it was a big part of the reason they finished so low in the league but I wanted them lose in the final once they got there.
The reason Chelsea finished so low in the league is because they dropped 15 points in November waiting for AVB's plan to come to fruition. HAd nothing to do with the CL run.

Chelsea and Spurs through win their UEL ties with last-gasp goals. Meanwhile Liverpool shows Barca how hard it will be to come back from 2-0 down.

I wouldn't be writing Barca off just yet, Milan have a fairly inexperienced team

Interesting those saying Bayern are clearcut favourites now. They haven't beaten Dortmund in 2 years.

United down to 10 men (Nani red carded) after a Ramos OG. Looked like MU were in a comfortable position to head to the next round... but 1 goal from Modric is all it took 1-1. Could be heading to penalties!

SCRATCH THAT RONALDO JUST SCORED!!! No way penalties are on the cards now no matter how many more goals are scored by either team. We are having a winner here within the next 20 mins!
