Spurs will upset Milan. I agree with your comment about free falling Chelsea. Arsenal will be humiliated by Barcelona.

My two favorites to win it all are AC Milan and Barcelona, anybody but Real Madrid.

They’re not even the best team in Milan, much less Europe.

Exactly. It’s all-or-nought for Benitez, if they don’t win he’ll be a one-termer like Obambi.

I think of Real Madrid as like New York Yankees--Real Madrid thinks it could buy their way into a championship. Given what happened to Real Madrid when they got thumped 5-nil at the last El Clásico game by FC Barcelona, the less I hear of Real Madrid, the better.

Meanwhile, FC Barcelona has become one of the very small select group of teams to win the treble under the auspices of UEFA, one of the truly great achievements in all of international sports.
