Rome Bound Part 2

So, here's the Champion's League Draw. First game is only in February, so plenty of time to prepare, and I reckon Chelsea can, and might even, win. I know I said Barcelona would win, but who knows. I am pretty sure Chelsea will win English Premier League, but for me Champion's League is worth more, so one can only hope. I've demarcated the team I think will win with a <*> next to their name:

Chelsea* v Juventus
Villarreal* v Panathinaikos
Sporting Lisbon v Bayern Munich*
Atletico Madrid* v Porto
Lyon v Barcelona*
Real Madrid v Liverpool*
Arsenal v Roma*
Inter v Man United*

You never know what's going to happen, but I really think the final will have Barcelona, and someone else, hopefully Chelsea. I've got quite a few thoughts as to what Chelsea should do, but that's for another day.

  1. Is Roma's win just for the next match or you think they'll be the ones to advance? Because Roma's good but Arsenal in Champs League is nothing like their EPL performances. They're like another team in the CL so I think they really will advance to the next round, despite tough competition like Roma.

    I think Porto would triumph over Atletico because Atletico aren't tthat good. Madrid would probably beat Liverpool but apart from those few objections, I would say your judgement in quite sound.

  2. It's for advancement, but the star should have been next to Arsenal not Roma. Porto aren't really doing well, and they only got through the group stages with 8 points I think, so I think Atletico will beat them.

    As for Real Madrid, new coach, injuries and low confidence against Liverpool who are doing really well locally and are feeling very confident, I think Liverpool will win.

  3. Fine, I think I was biased when I was looking at your decisions. Real do crack under pressure so they probably won't go through but Porto defintely perform better under pressure and Atletico is pretty average. What makes them good is Aguero and not much else.

    So I stick to my Porto decision.
