Yup... as I’ve expected, Chelsea get a tough draw... against Barcelona AGAIN!!! Last time we also get Barcelona in the round of 16 and fortunately we won 5-4 by aggregate thanks to JT’s goal. The only difference is that this time around, Chelsea are going to play at home first and I think this can be a disadvantage for us...
*sigh* And Liverpool get a VERY good draw, against the inexperienced Portuguese side, Benfica (the one who knock Man Utd out...ouch!). Anyway, we only have ourselves to blame for not KILLING off Liverpool during the last group match and we only managed to finish second. It shows that finishing at the top of the group DOES matter, José!!! I’m disappointed, really... cuz Barça is stronger than last season.
But then, think again, if you want to be the European Champions, you need to beat THE BEST right? Maybe it’s also a good thing for us to meet Barça sooner than later, because if you are not able to beat them, you won’t beat them no matter when you meet them, right? If we really can’t do the job this time, well, we are able to focus more on the Premiership then. And we’re also considered quite lucky to have avoided Italian teams with strong defence, like Juventus. So, I wanna wish José and co all the best. Get well soon, Makelele!
The full list of the last 16 draw:
Chelsea vs Barcelona
Real Madrid vs Arsenal
Werder Bremen vs Juventus
Bayern Munich vs AC Milan
PSV Eindhoven vs Lyon
Ajax vs Inter Milan
Benfica vs Liverpool
Rangers vs Villareal
This Sunday, it’s ARSENAL VS CHELSEA at Highbury. I know that many people out there want us to lose (so that they can catch up with Chelsea’s pace) and they expect Arsenal to win this cuz the gunners are desperate to get 3 points. Again, it’s The World against Chelsea. Well, let them talk and talk and talk because I’m confident that the Chelsea lads are going to WIN this and kick them out of the title race. HA! My prediction? A 2-1 win for the Blues.
