    Atleti > Leicester
    Monaco > BVB
    Bayern > Real
    Juve > Barca

    This scenario would give Atleti a good path to finally get over the line, can just imagine a Bayern-Atleti final.

    Real vs Bayern will be huge. I expect a lot of excitement and spectacle.
    Barca vs Juve. one of the best def minded teams vs Neymar, Suarez and Messi. Gonna be a challenge for them gentlemen.

    BVB vs Monaco. Two attacking minded teams with pace and dodgy defenses. Wouldn't surprised if we got to see another 3-2s or 3-3s.

    Leicester vs Atletico. Game over for the English Champion.

    I'd love to see someone different win for a change. Dortmund, Atletico, Juventus or Monaco.

    Two of those have already won it in the last 20 or so years, would much prefer to see Atleti crown the Simeone era off nicely or a one-off miracle run from a Monaco team surely on the verge of being ripped apart in the transfer market.

    I could actually see Juventus going through. People know how to play Barcelona this season.

    Aye, so would I. The CL has been stale for a while now.

    Juventus are due one.

    I really doubt that, seems far too provocative and intense to replace Wenger. For all Wenger's faults you feel Arsenal will need someone in a similar mould for the sake of a smooth transition. If they were looking for a root and branch overhaul Cholo's name would certainly be up there, but I honestly see Kroenke wanting to carry on running the ship as he has done. Meek, mediocre, safe.

    In the press conference at the weekend Wenger said it wouldn't matter if the club missed top four as he's already done it 20 times. Surely the pertinent question is how a supposed managerial great in the Ferguson mould has failed to win the Champions League in 20 attempts.

    I think Barça will get passed Juge their slower style will suit them.

    Ferguson won it twice. Not to mention countless finals. Has any other manager won it more than twice?
