I hope Benfica win today against Manchester United. :)

Unlucky Porto, Co Adriaanse sucks a lot and Ronald Koeman too... :(

Isnt there also an exclusion against playing a team that you faced in the group stage (for the first knockout round game)?
 
So Benfica will face one of these:

Juventus
Arsenal
Barcelona
Milan
Lyon
Liverpool
Inter Milan

Feck me, bring on Barça! At least the Barça football show tour will stop in Lisbon... :)

But will you still have Simao in the new year? Come to think of it, if he does go to Liverpõol Balompié, he'll be cup tied anyway.

But they can't play a group winner or a team from their group so they can't face English opposition in the next round anyway.
 
Watched the Man Utd game, thought the lack of respect shown to Benfica by the Sky pundits and in particular Andy Gray was disgusting. He said Benfica are "not a good side", and that "they're not good enough to play in the Premiership", by the last comment did he mean they'd get relegated if they played there? :roll:

Although Benfica deserved the win, I still found myself willing Man United to score, just to see how much of a change in attitude from Benfica there would be regarding 'injuries'.

Oh believe me you should hear the commentator's down there, good laugh they are. Guess we'll get it all with Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal qualifying from their groups of death and then next Summer should be exceptionally great...............maybe we should call it Donkeysville.

FD and ClassicD - since this is the first time a Scot team has gotten to the KO stages of the Champs League, do you find yourself rooting for Rangers, or is that NEVER gonna happen?

I'll tell you what they want:

Rangers - Barcelona 0-4 (12', 44', 55', 86': Larsson)
Barcelona - Rangers 6-0 (1', 15', 33', 57', 63', 75': Larsson)

Gerd is totally wrong, that scoreline isn't humiliating enough for Rangers. :mrgreen:

I want them humped, plain and simple. If they get humped, marvellous, if they do well then it raises the Scottish co-efficient and that's also good so Celtic fans can't really lose either way. The way they are going domestically, all they've done is ensure better seeding for Celtic/Hearts in next year's CL.
