European Football - Champions League and UEFA Cup

[cowboy rules]

Well we have an Enlish Premiership thread and we had a World Cup thread so why not have a European Football thread?

Let me start off by saying unlucky to Celtic last night  Really though they did deserve to win. Hopefully the Gers can pull off a win against Osasuna tonight. I'm off to Ibrox to watch soon  Whats your comments on Europe this year?

Celtic were very unlucky, Evander Sno was really poor for the past hour (including extra time) and it really cost us. Not to mention we should have had two stonewall penalties.

Needless to say though, the Champions league has been blown wide open thanks to the 2 finalists from last year being knocked out (Barcalona and Arsenal) and Inter Milan aswell. Liverpool vs Man U final anyone? 

It's unbelievable how much of a different team Rangers are in the Uefa Cup. Apart from the small blip in Tel-Aviv they have been exceptional. Still want Newcastle to win it though, but they have a tough tie with AZ Alkmaar which will be difficult to predict.

well arsenal are out of the UEFA so now my fav for winning it has to be man utd. I think Arsenal desrved the win against PSV, they were clearly the better team, but hey thats football!

WEEL we scraped through on tuesday great goal from ballack although he and lampard were poor on the night, John Obi mikel and essien were class though.

Well thats possibly the worst Rangers performance I EVER saw. Absolutly diabolical, they were lucky to get a goal in the end, they couldnt even string two passes together. Absolutly terrible. If we play like that on Sunday against Celtic we'llget demolished.

Man U won 3-2, I don't think they will beat Milan at there home ground. Pluss they have 2 away goals. LIverpool lost 1-0 against Chelsea, but i think we should win that we will have the Kop behind us

Man u got battered, AC Milan in the final.. I realy hope Liverpool win but i as much as i hate to say it i think Milan will get revenge.
When Ronaldo got carded, making him miss the final.. then i wished Man U had won, without him they are nothing. Rooney is way overated.

I'm very sad that Man Utd lost CL semi-final....Now I must support Liverpool but I see it very hard for the English team!

Milan struggled to create anything against Celtic in the two games they played against us (And we weren't playing ell at all), but demolished Man U in their second leg game. I guess it all depends on which Milan turns up, the one that hammered Man U 3-0 or the team that didn't score once against Celtic in 180 minutes.

I'm a huge Liverpool fan. my favorite player is Gerrard and I hope they'll win the Champions league against Milan like they did 2 years ago ( not the same way i hope-to stressful ---> for those who dont know: first half: Milan 3 Liverpool 0, second half Milan 3 Liverpool 3, Liverpool took it on the penalties.)
