Interesting, quite a few matches that could get a lot of hype. Would like to see Chelsea and Madrid in the final, but don't really want either to win though.

Hmm - warm balls vs. cold balls there, anyone?

* Give Barça the easy tie
* Ensure that it isn't an all Spanish final
* Eliminate at least one English club at QF-stage

Ho hum.

Shakhtar's no easy tie, not at all... That was Schalke who this week fired their coach. Barca look a bit rattled at the moment anyway, and now they have to contest a problematic trek to Ukraine against a side assembled with a great deal of Brazilian flair.

Plum tie for UEFA, though. Italian heavyweights have as close as possible to a bye at this stage and one of the English heavyweights is going out.

Lol, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you!!

UEFA would love a Madrid v Barcelona final, they'd also love a Man Utd v Chelsea final. Global interest. Also, with three English teams left, it's fairly good odds that two of them would draw each other.
