Stamford Bridge 2:45
Chelsea 1 - 3 Liverpool
I predict this match goes to extra time!
Final Score: Chelsea 1 - 4 Liverpool
Aggregate: Chelsea 4 - 5 Liverpool
After watching Chelsea layoff against Bolton this weekend, I have come to the conclusion that Chelsea lacks the killer instinct. They got off to a 4-0 lead against Bolton, and in a matter of 10 minutes, they saw their lead reduced to 1 goal. An opportunity in the late game almost saw Bolton equalize for one of the greatest EPL comebacks of all time, however, it didnt happen.
Liverpool on the other hand, beat down on Blackburn in a 4-0 victory over the weekend. I am a large believer in streaky play. Liverpool showed they were capable of winning several times this year without the help of Captain Fantastic Steven Gerrard. He will be playing today which always increases Liverpool's odds.
The first leg's scoreline did not dictate to me the real play of the game. For starters, Ivanovic's two header goals will probably be absent today. This is a sport where a lucky break here and there really change a scoreline drastically. Had it not been for two good crosses and good headers. Liverpool would be walking into today's matchup level at 1-1. Liverpool has the goal scoring potential to put up several key goals today, and have shown it against quality clubs as of late. Expect this game to be a thriller! I have Liverpool pulling the upset. Final Aggregate: Chelsea 4 - 5 Liverpool in extra time.
Allianz-Arena 2:45
Bayern Munich 1 - 2 Barcelona
Aggregate: Bayern Munich 1 - 6 Barcelona
Barcelona are hands down the best attacking team in the world. Period. Defensively, they are solid. Virtually a team with very few flaws, with subs capable of filling in for injuries when needed. This is a team that isnt reliant on a single player, nor a specific unit. They win regardless of whom they start, and are definately my favorite to win the tournament. Messi + Henry + Eto'o = Winning.
Bayern Munich is no match for Barcelona. The scoreline will be closer than the game. Barcelona will take it easy to keep players healthy, but I still expect atleast 2 goals from Spanish side. Bayern will fight hard to get on the scoresheet and keep themselves from the embarrassment of being shutout after flooding 12 goals onto Sporting. Again Barcelona wins easily, scoreline will be close, game will not.Aggregate : Bayern Munich 1 - 6 Barcelona
