What a beat down. Jesus I hate Barcelona. It seemed at one point that RM and Barça were all but done and then somehow they both end up going through. Looks like we'll have an all Spanish final.

Barca and Milan were in two different leagues that game. I think the Italian sides are a little overrated, especially Milan.

Hoping Bayern can finish off Arsenal and we don't draw Barca next round.

Is that even possible? I thought all the Spanish sides wound up on one side of the bracket.

No brackets in CL. The matchups are drawn prior to each round, so whether RM and Barcelona are drawn into a quarterfinal or semifinal matchup or meet in the finals, it looks like they're on a collision course. Of course, it looked that way last year, and somehow neither made it to the final. I still can't believe that after Bayern finishes mop up duty this afternoon that there won't be a single English team left in the competition. Without one of those sides to pull for, I guess I'll be pulling for Galatasaray or PSG, even though I doubt either have much of a chance of advancing unless they get a very good draw.

Want nothing to do with Madrid, Bayern or Juventus in the next round. Would love to avoid those teams until at least the semis. I think we would annihilate PSG. Dortmund would be a fun tie. Can't remember ever playing them. Also would like to play Gala just to knock drogba out.

Leaving work early. Going to watch game at BWW with a work colleague who is from England and a huge Arsenal fan. I am hoping for another lopsided German win.

Also leaving work early to go watch it at Soccer Taco here in town.

Ribery and Schweinsteiger being out are a little concerning, but Wilshere, Podolski, and a couple others are out for Arsenal, plus Wenger is giving their first team keeper a rest (can't remember his name).

Hoping for a 4-0 win but I expect more of a 2-1 type match.

I'm nervous but confident. I've seen these turn.

Enjoy!

Arsenal lack the fire power to mount a rally, especially at the Allianz. One Bayern goal will break their will.

This ref is f'n terribly biased towards Bayern. I fully expect a touchline ban from Wenger after this shambolic display.
