1) The Chelsea vs Barca match-up would be interesting, let's see how Barca can put Mourinho's shit outta CL early this season.

2) Arsenal has got a tough draw against Real, with Real's current wayward form; the Gunners might come out from the tie as winners.

3) Juve would be able to win theirs.

4) Another tough match-up between Bayern & AC Milan, i favour Bayern to win this.

5) PSV Eindhoven would win theirs against Lyon.

6) Ajax vs Inter, another toughie. Inter Milan should be able to do their stuff & win over 2 legs.

7) Liverpool should win theirs against Benfica too, surely.
