Deportivo V Man Utd
Liverpool V Bayer Leverkuson
Panathinaikos V Barcalona
Bayern Munich V Real Madrid

Dont like the idea of playing Deportivo again...they got a bloody 100% record this year against English teams beating both Arsenal and Man Utd home & away. I reckon we can do em over this time though. They only won at OT becasue of blunders by Barthez and Brown. Hopefully the weather will also be warmer for these matches so Veron will play better (he plays crap in the cold!)

Liverpool...hmmmm. Thats an average draw. Bayer have been pritty crap on thier travels and only beat Deportivo becasue they were playing a weakened side.

Barcalona probably got the easiest side but Panathinaikos aint no pushover.

Real and Munich. Should be interesting...Bayern have been pritty this year mind, but still got a good defensive record.

Liverpool will meet Man Utd in the Semi if they both go through and we will definitlely have an English team in the final!

I say bring on Deportivo and then Liverpool.
They've both beaten us twice this season already (Liverpool have beaten Utd three times if you include the Charity Shield) - so if you ask me it's time to hit them back, and I believe Man Utd will beat these two teams and get to the final where we'll play Real Madrid at Hampden.

The last time the final was held at Hampden Fergie was in the crowd watching Real Madrid win 5-3.
The full circle is about to join and be complete.

I don't like the Deportivo draw either!
But then again, it's better than someone like Liverpool or Real Madrid! Any they did throw the match away to Leverkusen the other day...

Because Barcalona and Bayer Leverkausen won their groups, where Deportivo and Bayern Munich were runners up.

Still don't know why Deportive put out a weaker team in the group stages. If they hadn't United would have got Bayer and Liverpool wouuld have got Deportive - a fairer draw considering we won our group and they only sneaked in in the last group matches (although they did play well against Roma - fair play there!).

Bayern vs. Real - well that's one of the top teams down. (But I bet they are both saying that about United vs. Deportivo)

How did the four top teams (United, Real, Bayern, Deportivo) draw each other, and the weaker four draw each other (Barca, Liverpool, Panathanaikos, Bayer)?

Crap, that's one draw I didn't want.

Mind you, they beat us in Deportive with a couple of late goals, too, so it's not like they've outplayed us too badly in the competition or anything.

I reckon that the winner of the Real - Bayern match will reach the final.

I don't think Liverpool could have got an easier draw. It was either Leverkusen, Real or Man United. In my opinion, Leverkusen is the easier of the three.

Barcelona have the easiest draw. Never take teams for granted though.

Man Utd may have trouble with Deportivo and Real V Bayern should be a cracker.
