Champions league

It's random. I tried trading the draw once before but someone else clearly had a couple of seconds advantage. Courtsiders at uefa?

Drogba's blatant dive vs Napoli - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... iller.html

There's two sides to every story - ITV commentator Andy Townsend said Drogba was very smart.

However, I agree with you - this play acting should be removed from football and the spanish giants wouldn't be so potent...

If removed from the Premier League then Manchester United would suffer...

Is the draw seeded or random, it's random I think? That could throw up a few interesting ties.

So, Real Madrid could play Barcelona...

What a Joke...
Ac Milan Vs Barcelona already played twice this champions league season.
I will support Benfica with all my energy.
I am very very dissapointed......

Ac Milan Vs Barcelona already played twice this champions league season.

Hopefully, Milan will win at home this time...

So, that they can play Chelsea...

Nice of FIFA to arrange for both Spanish teams to miss each other!

I think you are underestimating Benfica which has much more international expierence of Napoli. Chelsea had qualified for the quarter because of several factors which came all togheter last wednesday. AVB, Drogba, Terry, stamford bridge, 30 minutes extra @ home ( one of the biggest unfair rule) and an overall expierence of the players...

I apologise to correct you but it was the Uefa and in my opinion is fair that the 2 best teams have a shot of playing the final

Final:

Real Madrid vs. Chelsea

The only teams with 100% home record are

Real Madrid (smallest goal difference +3) Goals 17-3
Chelsea (+2) 14-1
Bayern Munich (+1) 15-3

So, Chelsea only conceded one goal...in over 6.5 hours against spanish, german, italian and belgian teams.
Don't under-estimate Chelsea at home.
