Barca will probably repeat. I would like to see Arsenal or Liverpool make some noise next year.

lol.. Liverpool aren't involved.

I really should buy some tickets for the final in Munich. Then again there are probably at least a million people who'll try buying tickets...

Olympiakos is back.

Let's not do what Panathinaikos did.

We'll keep Panathinaikos out for you

Yikes, Arsenal starts the season with five matches in two weeks, including Liverpool and United.

So?

Tough schedule but if you want to be a great team you take it and try to win every game.

Let's go Barca!

Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven...

** Will update July 15th for the third qualifying round.

It's Milan's time to stand atop the podium again. Barca are going to wear out I hope.

Do they really have the individual class to make it, though? I don't think so.

Barcelona, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Chelsea have clearly better rosters.
Manchester City, Arsenal, Munich and Inter definitely have just as much potential as Milan has, maybe even more in some cases.

Milan is on a good way of restoring their roster (it was horrible just 2 seasons ago) but I don't think you can count them as contenders for the Championsleague.

They most certainly have a squad that can compete. They do need a quality midfielder/winger or 2. They already have great strikers in Ibrahimovic, Pato, Robinho and Cassano. The central defense of Nesta and Silva play great together. Not as deep as Barca or Madrid but they are defiantly on par with United and I believe they have a better squad than Chelsea. I believe Chelsea is to 'old' to compete on the level they have the last 5 seasons or so. Their cycle is over without major retooling IMO.

Hoping Partizan qualifies again

Never heard of these clubs.

Second Qualifying Round just started.

Can't wait for Chelsea to choke again this year.
