I was hoping we would draw Madrid or Barca in the 2nd round of Champions League and behold – Barcelona it is. Don’t ask me why I was hoping for the toughest draw possible, but it sets up a cracking tie between Champions of Europe 2005 and Champions of Europe 2006.<\/p>\n
Just looked at the entire draw, and as usual Arsenal, Chelsea and the Mancs get easy draws. It’s all random, yeah right. Roma v Lyon, Madrid v Munich and Inter v Valencia are the other picks of the draw by the way. The fixers (Milan) get the easiest tie – after having slept their way through the easiest group. You know, the one they just “happened” to be in.<\/p>\n
Putting the conspiracy theories aside, Barcelona might have been the best team in Europe for the past couple of years, but I have no doubt that we’ll have them for dinner. Bring them on – I’m going to Athens in May baby! Did I tell you (actually no one knows this) I had two tickets (the good ones) for this year’s final (Barca vs Arsenal), but I obviously didn’t take up that option. Who wants to see the two most exciting teams in Europe play against each other? Not me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
