Except Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona. We can compete against others.

PSG would be great. I think we would beat them in both games.

I certainly wouldn't bet on Galatasaray to advance to SF, but I will still be rooting for them.

I think Gala would get destroyed by Barca, Bayern, Juve, and Madrid
They would put up a fight and lose against Dortmund and PSG due to their poor defese, but they would have a chance
They have 50/50 chance against Malaga and/or Porto

I am hoping for

Madrid vs Juve
Bayern vs GalaI just can't get enough of Massimo vs Bundesliga. I don't care if Massimo concedes that Bayern would win, you can't talk that much trash about another league if your best team can't compete with their best team
Barcelona vs PSG
Dortmund vs Malaga/Porto

J-Meezy; it sounds like you got hurt by our win too :)

We are not Bayern's caliber now. This team was in relegation zone 2 years ago. We are in Champions League for the First time after 7-8 years.

We accomplished our goal with qualifying from group stage. To beat Schalke is just an additional bonus.

Bayern would destroy us and deservedly so. They are far more experienced team, more skilled and everything.

Bayern, Barcelona, Real Madrid. we have 0 chance.
Juve %25.
Dortmund %35.
PSG-Porto-Malaga %50.

Lol at Schalke, didn't watch the game but love that they managed to **** it up, especially after going all out to snag the derby with BVB over the weekend. It's to be expected when you start Pukki in an elimination game in the CL, but still hilarious.

EDIT: Massimo good for you, now just pray you don't get one of the only two good german teams in the next round. :wink:

Juve, Bayern, Dortmund are the class of this year's competition but you can't rule out Barcelona or Real Madrid. #analysis

Not much of a choice with KJH's injury.

Juve will struggle with Bendtner out.

Looking forward to the the draw for the next round. Should be some great match-ups

Not when you're a club the size of Schalke that plays in the CL as often as they do, then you should be able to find yourself a back up for your 31 year old striker who can actually finish, **** Hannover have 5 guys up front, any one of whom would've changed Schalke's season dramatically both today in the CL, and in the BL during the terrible slump as well. How terrible at running a club do you have to be to only have 1 when you've got Schalke's resources?

They had a very good counter attack one on one opportunity in the first half that hit the post. That would have changed the game for sure, but instead, Messi scored like a minute later.

Yeah i'm watching the replay now

Very poor defense for AC MIlan on the Messi goals.

The Alba goal was disappointing from a Milan fan's perspective. His pace is known so the defenders should have known to keep an eye on him instead of getting caught ball-watching. Milan actually created a couple good chances, but their defense compared with the first leg was just not up to standard.

I came to terms with Union not making the CL when they didn't get promoted last year, but thanks for the misguided sympathy.

I hope Porto makes it into the next round just to spread out the interest a little bit.

Does Arsenal have a chance?

No chance for Arsenal and I am hoping that Porto makes it too. James and Jackson should have a good game.
