Champions League Picks
- Thread starter Esco!
- Start date
My picks are ...
Chelsea and AC Milan as well.
I thought about picking Liverpool, but Chelsea just seems to have everything going their way this season (except for the FA Cup).

Hard luck for PSV, they deserved a goal in the 2nd half...I think that 2nd goal will ultimately be decider of this one...
AC Milan vs PSV ...
PSV played well, but they wasted a few good chances and their finishing was weak ... their forwards were just shooting the ball right at Dida. I was amazed at how many problems PSV were creating for the Milan defense, which at times, looked a bit shakey ... even ManU weren't this threatening in the second round.
PSV now have a mountain to climb in the return-leg ... I don't think they will be able to topple Milan, and Nesta should be back by then, which would further strengthen their defense.

Not the prettiest of games...how Lampard missed I dont know...who has the advantage come next week, you'd have to think Chelsea as a tie will see them through...
This result Chelsea to buy a whole new team for not winning every competition they were in.
As much they controlled possession, only one clear cut chance.
Good job, LIVERPOOL!!!

WOW !!! Awesome display by Liverpool. I'm glad they ousted the Blues. Even though they have lost to Chelsea three times this season (twice in the Premiership and once in the Carling Cup Final), this victory is sweet enough to make them forget about the earlier disappointments.
I'm pretty sure Milan will come out on top tomorrow, so it defintely looks like Liverpool vs AC Milan in Instanbul. Milan have been my favourites to win the whole thing, but Liverpool have been simply amazing in the CL so far. The Reds are beginning to look like a team of destiny ... I wouldn't be suprised if they beat AC Milan in the finals.

Too bad for PSV, they were the better team over the 2 legs, but soccer is cruel sometimes....isnt that so Jose Mourinho???
No kidding. I knew watching game 1 that the lack of a goal was going to cost PSV. In game 1 they were deserving of at least one but couldn't finish. Too bad. It would have been nice to see both the underdogs battle it out in the final. Great game nonetheless. Who says football is boring?the_big_E said:
Today's game was almost a repeat of last year's CL, when Deportivo won over Milan. The Italian giants are very lucky to be in the finals.
PSV clearly played better and dominated large portions of the game, especially during the second leg. Milan probably thought that they could sit back because of their advantage coming in from the first leg. The quick first goal sure changed the mood of the game. Would have been great if the two underdogs faced each other in Istanbul.
Who do you think will win the finals ? I wanna pick Milan, but at the back of my mind, I think Liverpool can pull off an upset.
