Man U are my favourites to win the Cup this year, followed very closely by Liverpool after their near perfect win against Roma yesterday.
Roma looked beyond AWEFUL, and ManU were at their ruthless best, exploiting every weakness of the Roma defence. Man of the match for me - Carrick - his goals were absolute class. I wonder why SAF is so eager to get hold of Owen Hargreaves - he'd sit on the bench.
Chelsea produced a remarkable come back against a Valencia team that really should have won. Schevchenko to the rescue after Valencia's Morientes had put Valencia ahead. Then Essien with a late winner.
Barring an unlikely comeback by PSV against Liverpool (they need to win 4-0, etc), there will be a guarantee of an English side in the Finals, as chelsea will meet the winner of Liverpool-PSV.
Bayern Munich have a slight edge over AC Milan in the 4th game, having drawn 2-2 away in Milan. Both sides are hugely experienced in the Champions League. Kaka will be the key for a Milan win. It should be an intriguing game.
3 teams (most likely) out of 4 teams from the English Premiership in the semi's is a first - I honestly can't remember if it has happened before. This used to be the preserve of mainly the Spanish league and sometimes the Italian league.
I expect an English side to win it this season. Next season, I suspect the Spanish will be back with a bang - but that's looking too far into the future.
