Which 1st place teams do we actually have a chance at defeating?

I've only seen a few PSG matches, but for all the expensive players they have they aren't really dominant at all. Shaktar on attack will murder us with the counter, they are real fast down the flanks. I haven't seen Malaga play enough to determine anything, but their results have been really damn good. BVB is just playing too damn well right now otherwise I'd say we have a fighters chance. Can Valencia take 1st over Bayern? Either way I haven't seen them play enough this season to say how we would fare.

I give us no chance with ManU, Barca, Bayern

We can't play another English team in the first knockout round, thus ruling out United. I never really understood the logic behind that rule.

PSG have been much better in Europe than in Ligue 1 play. Their a side built for Europe though, as group stage results show.

Malaga would be the best bet for Arsenal given the tenuous state of that squad. An injury or two to one of their better players would be extremely costly. Still, at full strength, Malaga would really present problems for Arsenal.
