I don´t care who Bayern get paired with, they´re still the side to beat.

That inconsequential embarrassment at home against Citeh should prove to be their only stumble, and a great wake up call.

I still think Real´s a year away from doing great things, and they look to be the only one who could ´cough´ when someone mentions Bayern as omnipotent this season.

Citeh should get stronger, Arsenal should have a deep run, but I don´t seem them past semis at best, and Atlético with the blessings of the injury gods, should be a semis, and could be, a finals candidate.

Barça, semis at best.

Out of the 5 awful choices for Arsenal I'd rather us get drawn against Barca or PSG than Bayern/Real/Atl...

all bad though really.

I see Arsenal besting both of these clubs.

Bayen/Real are the 2 I most want to avoid. Barca then PSG is who I'd want to play, either way Arsenal put themselves in a horrid spot. I haven't seen enough of Atletico to gauge them.

They are the type of side that will do big things, if they don´t suffer injuries. They´re stereotypical Italian in many respects, but have more linkage and much more attacking flair.


ETA before wm jumps on my shite, I mean to say, they´re very organized, swarm to the ball very quickly in the open field, and leave very little space.

Real
In spite of a number of clean sheets in a row, they´re still suspect on D, and a sieve, if Xabi´s not there (not that he defends well, but he organizes the side well).

They do put pressure on you, and you´ve got to score one more than them.

I hopefully think next season, nobody will be capable of this.

They stopped leaking goals on the counter, which is nice. It helps that they are no longer extremely lopsided defensively.

Modric coming along nicely, guy really has a heart. Need more Isco, and I´d like to see Lewa for Benzema, more than Falcao, but I do like how Benzema seems to be more aware of what´s going on, when playing. He´s made some nice passes.
