Somehow I have the feeling that the UEFA manipulates the draws to get more attractive Semi Finals...

Time for some Red Cafe moments:

1. Arsenal played decentish against them at home up until the red card, so we might be OK at home. At Munich... my God, let's hope we somehow get our shit together defensively. Their movement will have us all over the place.

   We're winning the CL this season and it will be in the jammiest way possible.

I don't know how I feel about us getting PSG, I was hoping to he Utd, no travel etc.

I think Utd will get hammered by Bayern I can't see any 1999 heroics coming. If they did manage a miracle they should be ashamed of how shit they have played all season.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Inevitably, 2 Spanish teams draw each other.

Barca playing 2nd leg away makes that tie all the more interesting - given their shaky record away in CL in the past few seasons.

[cosmicway 1,333]

PSG are beatable.

Dortmund might have been the easiest opponent and United the second easiest, because with United it's an English derby.

PSG is the third easiest.

Also Atletico can eliminate Barca, because the other Spanish teams know their tricks and beat them more often.

Real are through and Bayern also in all likelihood.

I saw PSG twice this season, PSG - Olympiakos, a drab affair as PSG were certain group winners (result 2-1) and Monaco - PSG 1-1 where their performence was not very impressive.

There was 1,75% or so of probability that the 3 first balls were the ones of the spanish teams, and yet that's what happened....Why UEFA can't buy some kind of lottery ball machine? It surely would avoid them any kind of speculation. I mean come on, repeated matches year after year, the "easiest" opponents for the most "desirable" final contenders (Madrid - Bayern)... No, they have to do it manually with a plastic dish, and a ex-player that obviously cheer for one of the teams in the pot ....

If it goes to form, Benfica, Juventus, Valencia and Porto in the semi-finals will be delicious!

It's 3! x 5! / 8! = 1.79% (urn scheme without replacement probability).

To outwit the draw the methods used are hot and cold balls, balls making vibrations and ball magnets.

With the final being played in Turin, it is set up nicely for Juve to clinch it

Part of the Allianz Arena will be closed when they face United due to homophobic banner being displayed.

Juve losin it on penalties like Bayern in 2012!

Except for the bayern united tie, the rest 3 are going to be very competitive.

Chelsea - psg is a 50-50 (51-49 due to jose).

Atm should get more credit than they are getting specially against a team that they have faced thrice this season and have drawn all 3. Alsi that atm are actually liga toppers at the moment. I expect a brilliant 180 minures and won't be at all suprised if atm came thru the tie.

Rm have once again shown that they are big game chokers. 1 point from a possible 12 against the only teans worth mentioning in the la liga. Their defence is a joke and attacks is based on moments if magic rather than actual plays or even link up. I mean bake was tge perfect example of that last night. Non existebt for 89 minutes but those 2 runs that he made, one in each half were just out of the world. So while RM are definite favourites, I would still say that bvb have a decent chance is they can keep the wungers quiet. Specially if bvb are clinical upfront. They will get a buck load of chances agaibst that defence.
