    Since my clubs (Arsenal / Lyon) are out, I am rooting for the remaining English Premiership Teams to win against insurmountable odds and take the CL Trophy back to England.

      Real - Spurs 75/25

      Spurs are really suitable rival for Merengues. They aren't that tough physically as Lyon, they are offensive team with quite shaky defense and that's already a problem while facing team like Real. I suppose most of the questions will be answered in Madrid. Smth like 2:0, 3:0, 3:1. At White Hart Lane anything extraordinary won't happen, maybe some highscoring affair like 2:2, maybe Mourinho will play cautious and try to lock his defense, then smth like 0:1, 0:2 for Real looks possible, however Real will advance to semis

      Barca - Shakhtar 70/30

      Maybe I'm too cautious here as Barca fan, but IMO it won't be that easy as it might look like. Donezk is well organized, tough team, has good defense and can be deadly on counters with fast brasilians in the attack. That's actually not really suits Barca, which tends to have some problems with Eastern European teams (Rubin, Dinamo, the same Shakhtar). Still quality, experience is on Barca's side and that is what should make the difference. I'd be happy with some 2:0 at Camp Nou, then in Ukraine 1:1 or small win like 0:1, 1:2 should do the job.

      Inter - Schalke 70/30

      If Inter will be able to tighten their defense it will be even easier, still I don't see surprise here - Inter will advance, they has just too much quality for this Schalke squad. Scores-wise I see smth similar scenario to Real-Spurs, at home Inter should do the job - 3:0, 3:1

      Chelsea - ManUtd 50/50

      Both knows each other too good to bring some surprises, so small details, luck will decide the winner. The stakes are high here, cause I expect any of those two to beat Inter in semis, so IMO this is like a battle for place in final

                  WTF happened to Inter in 1st game was just insane. One of the most shocking outcomes in recent years. Couldn't even imagine smth like that. It's not Schalke who won, but Inter who failed badly. However it's no matter, Inter or Schalke, my prediction doesn't change - ManUtd vs Chelsea was a battle for place in final and with result we have, I'm sure ManUtd are step behind it. They probably will decide it even in 1st leg in Veltins Arena. I'd predict 0:1, 0:2 for English side and at home finishing the job with similar result.

                  Barca - Real is much more difficult to predict. Mostly because we'll have 4 "El Clasicos" in just 3 weeks, that surely makes outcome harder to guess. But I'll go with class here and it's on Barca side - 1:1 at Santiago Bernabeu, 2:0 at Camp Nou

                    UEFA League Champions League Finals:

                    FC Barcelona vs. Manchester United

                    This could be a replay of the 2009 Finals. I did say that I would root for the remaining English clubs, but as a Gunner, I find it impossible to root for MU. A lot of changes has been made for both teams since 2009.

                    I do hope Barca does a drubbing on MU.

                        So once again we're down to the 2 best teams in the world.
                        Manchester United have not conceded a single goal in 6 games away from Old Trafford in this season's CL and since the final will not be played in Manchester, I don't see why things should change ..
                        Let's go United!!!!
                        My prediction: Utd 1-0 Barca (Hernandez - 75th minute)

                          I see why Except Chelsea, ManUtd didn't play against any big club this season in CL. I'm not sayin' that they doesn't deserve place in final, not at all, they does, but it's not fair to compare previous oppositions with Barca
                          Similar situation was with Schalke before facin' ManUtd in semi, they've won every single game at home, but they didn't play against team of such caliber like English side is and had some decent reality check - 0:2 with possible 0:5 or even more...
                          Moreover ManUtd looks poor away from home in Premiership, they didn't win against any big club and even lost at Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal...
                          Ok, stats are stats, while I'm just hopin' to see decent football show with two best teams currently in Europe, hopefully ManUtd, unlike Real, will try to play football. If all will be healthy, my wishful thinking says - 3:1 Barca
