The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Inter Milan v CSKA Moscow
Arsenal v Barcelona
Bayern Munich v Manchester United
Lyon v Bordeaux

Not a bad draw!

Arsenal vs Barcelona is gonna be a belter I reckon. Close first game then Barcelona absolutely romp them at the Nou camp. Man Utd have pretty much cemented their place in the final too.

Agreed, especially with the semi final draw of:

Inter/CSKA v Arsenal/Barca
Munich/Utd v Lyon/Bordeaux

No its a fair point really, especially when you consider that there are more french sides in the draw than germans and spanish!!!

But i think there are 7 different combinations of the ties, as they could have played any of the other teams ;)

Having said that dont UEFA fudge it, i mean seed it?! ;)

This was the first stage at which the teams were NOT seeded, nor separated by country.
