Manchester United managed to contain an incredibly able Barcelona side last season to enable our progression to the Champions League final. Whilst Barca saw a lot of the ball at Old Trafford, Van der Sar wasn’t tested, meaning Paul Scholes’ wonderful strike was all that separated the sides.
Barcelona defender, Carles Puyol, has today admitted he wouldn’t fancy playing us again.
“I want to be the champion and for that reason it will be excellent to avoid Manchester United in the draw,” said Puyol. “We still remember last year. United were lucky to win the game and it was very painful to be eliminated, but they are still the European champions and English champions so we do not want to face them now. We do not feel the pressure of being favourites for the European Cup. We are prepared for whatever challenge comes along. ’We know that United can still win a lot of trophies, but so can we. We have our own treble on the agenda and we are convinced we can do it.’’

All the lot of them are running scared to face United, that’s for sure. Its not just Barcelona alone. I dont care a jot who we come up against, we’ll stuff ‘em. Here’s hoping we meet our “close friends” Liverpool for a fuckin spanking.
My prediction:
Barca Vs Chelsea
Villareal Vs Bin Dippers
United Vs Ports
Munich Vs Arsenal
Am with you Shreyas.That is how it will go
i have a feeling we might get bayern & surely not any eng teams
Why is he afraid of a team that beat them luckily?Anyway.I see one or even two all english ties.Platini wants to get rid of the english teams.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh We got Portoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Fantastic draw guys!The easier we could have had all through the semis.I wish we could have played our first games away but you can’t have anything.Dippers we will see you in the final!Hope you make it.So glad them and Chelsea will beat the crap out of each other.
And Arsenal or Villarel in the Semi’s
i hope chelsea rape liverpool…. time to get revenge against porto…come on scholsey, get us a hatrick!!
We could not have asked for a better draw. The game will be finished in the first leg at OT. Then my heart to heart tells me we would face Villareal in the Semis.
yeah like cherry i got this hunch we gonna face villareal.. they managed to hold us goalless not once, but 4 times! there’s no way arsenal gonna score.
but i think it’s us and barca in the final. and i hope so…
well we have a bloody quintuple or quintet whatever people call it
