How do you think will win it and how would you like to win it?
I think Barcelona have to be favourites after winning it last season and probably then Manchester United and Inter Milan. I also believe if Manchester United can get past Bayern Munich again (United came from 1-0 down to beat Bayern 2-1 in the dying minutes in Barcelona in 1999 to lift the trophy for a second time) then they have a good change of beating Lyon or Bordeaux to reach the final again for a third successive season...JMO.
They certianly are up against it with Barcelona and I think Utd have drawn the easy side of the draw. Of the top four favourites in the bookies thet avoided the other three in their half of the draw........i.e. Barcelona, Arsenal and Inter.
However I think Bayern will be tough to beat and even of they get thru the French teams will be hard to break down.
Personally I think Arsenal can beat Barcelona and Im looking forward to the matches already.

I can't see Arsenal beating Barcelona to be honest. Nothing against Arsenal. I think all the other teams would find it hard to beat the champions too. I wouldn't say United have the easiest draw but it could be a lot worse. I bet Mourinho is rubbing his hands together though. If Inter don't beat CSKA Moscow, I'll be very, very surprised.
I'm not discounting Lyon or Bordeaux but I don't think they pose a serious threat to United as we have beaten them before. If we can keep a clean sheet in Munich, United have a very good chance of beating them in Old Trafford.
stanley8m: I,d like to see united win it as a supporter of them but I like the way arsenal are playing at the moment and wouldnt mind them doing well this year.
You support Man U but wouldn't mind Arsenal doing well????

I'd love to see united win it again but if we don't then I'd like to see Bordeaux do it. Larry White seems to be doing a great job there and i think it would be nice for an ex united player to win it as a manager.
