UEFA Champions League Preview


United certainly not in the easiest group of the British clubs, but certianly not the most difficult. Arsenal got lucky with Sevilla, Slavia Praha, and Bucharest. Rangers on the other hand face Olympique Lyon, Barca, and VfB Stuttgart (imagine Lyon at Barcelona... mouthwatering.)

United got a middle of the road group, a return to Roma (fun for hooligans from both clubs) along with a homecoming for our two Portugese wingers.

Let's face it, qualifaction for the knockout stages shouldn't be difficult, and United are heavy favorites to top the group after downing Roma 7-1 last year. All six ties will be relatively tricky as all four sides have quality and offer at least a significant threat.


My favorites to advance

A: Liverpool, Marseille

B: Chelsea, Schlake

C: Real Madrid, Lazio

D: Barcelona, Lyon

E: Milan, Celtic

F: Manchester United, Roma

G: Inter, PSV

H: Arsenal, Sevilla
