Celtic v Barcelona
Genclerbirligi v Valencia
Bordeaux v Club Brugge
Newcastle United v Mallorca
Auxerre v PSV Eindhoven
Internazionale v Benfica

It would be hard to predict any of these matches, who do you think will go through?

Predictions to go through to quarters:

Celtic v Barcelona Celtic
Genclerbirligi v Valencia Valencia (this is a hard one to predict, that Turkish team look very good)
Bordeaux v Club Brugge Bordeaux
Newcastle United v Mallorca Mallorca
Auxerre v PSV Eindhoven PSV
Internazionale v Benfica Inter
Liverpool v Marseille Liverpool
Villarreal v Roma Roma

I'm happy with Celtics draw, should be a good match.

bdiddy

thought Barca was a bit of a disaster myself from a celtic point of view, then again to be the best u have to beat the rest!!! Barca will be well up for it tho.

Aye, It will be a hard one. If Celtic played the first leg away it would be a lot easier in my opinion. Although, if you look at Celtic's results in the last year in the CL and Uefa Cup, they usually always beat the team by a bigger margin at home than they would get beaten away (if you know what I mean).

CL 2003:
Home: Celtic 3-1 Anderlecht
Away: Anderlecht 1-0 Celtic
Agg: Celtic 3-2 Anderlecht

Home: Celtic 0-0 Bayern
Away: Bayern 2-1 Celtic
Agg: Celtic 1-2 Bayern

Home: Celtic 2-0 Lyon
Away: Lyon 3-2 Celtic
Agg: Celtic 4-3 Lyon

UEFA cup 02/03:
Home: Celtic 8-1 Suduva
Away: Suduva 0-2 Celtic
Agg: Celtic 10-1 Suduva

Home: Celtic 2-0 Blackburn
Away: Blackburn 0-1 Celtic
Agg: Celtic 3-0 Blackburn

Home: Celtic 1-0 Celta Vigo
Away: Celta Vigo 2-1 Celtic
Agg: Celtic 2-2 Celta Vigo

Home: Celtic 3-1 Stuttgart
Away: Stuttgart 3-2 Celtic
Agg: Celtic 5-4 Stuttgart

Home: Celtic 1-1 Liverpool
Away: Liverpool 0-2 Celtic
Agg: Celtic 3-1 Liverpool

Home: Celtic 1-1 Boavista
Away Boavista 0-1 Celtic
Agg: Celtic 2-1 Boavista

So all that tells you is that Celtic have only lost once over two legs since the start of 2003 in Europe and that was against Bayern which IMO Celtic at least deserved a draw on aggregate.

Final

Liverpool v Valencia - Very tough to call - form goes out the window (as it were)

LIVERPOOL

Draupnir

If Liverpool win the UEFA cup I will cry, they are such a poor side, but the UEFA really is a poor tournament. A B standard in Europe if you ask me, I think Valencia will win it

bdiddy

I reckon PSV'll give it a right go but Barca will win it out. They've alot to prove and while the UEFA cup is crap, it could act as a launching pad to get them back on thier feet. hope i'm wrong and Celtic beat them.

LIVERPOOL

Johnny_the_fox

Celtic v Barcelona ...

what a match that will be ... cant wait..

Pepe LeFrits

Inter - Valencia final, Valencia winning it.

Dont be at yourself

Liverpool got a very good draw, managing to avoid Barcelona, Roma and Celtic until the semi-finals. Houllier will have done his homework on the french competition too, so they've a good chance of going all the way.

mike65

Yep its a pretty decent draw though quite how Liverpool are seeded while Celtic arn't beats me!

Mike.

Are any channels apart from channel 5 going to televise the matches. It's all getting quite interesting now and i'd like to be able to see the big matches live

PHB

I just don't think Celtic are in the same league as Barcelona, and imo Barcelona are Champions League quality

AFAIK, BBC3 show a match.

How long did it take you to figure that one out? Spain is a long way away from Scotland.:D

[DF]Lenny

Yeah I think Liverpool will at least get to the semi's...but Roma for me are gonna win it this year.

Celtic are Champions League quality, they just have to sort themselves out a bit. They weren't far off this year and will be back again next season. They've been having a better year so far than Barca but i still reckon Barca will come through. it'll be tough for Celtic to hold thier own at the Nou Camp.

Barca are unbeaten or have won their last 7 matches. It looks like Davids has changed thier fortunes.

Why arent celtic seeded?

Becasue they are crap. Liverpool are seeded because the play in a top league week in week out and are the most sucessful british club in europe.

Why are so many people blind?

Marseille is a tricky tie for Liverpool. Although obviously it could have been worse, Marseille are a competent team who performed quite well in their Champions League group and where unlucky not to get through.

Whereas Liverpool are b****x. I can see Marseille winning, sure Liverpool can't even beat a Portsmouth side missing 14 first team players even with a virtually full strength squad.

Really hope they show the Celtic v Barcelona matches on BBC3. Hopefully they'll be as entertaining as a lot of Celtic's UEFA cup games were last season.
(PS I'm a Liverpool fan )

As a Pool fan I'm happy enough with the draw. As an outside bet I think PSV at 16-1 is worth a punt. I got €20 on Bayern at 28-1 to win CL. Forever the dreamer. Mind you last time I put money on Bayern to win CL, they got to the 89th minute of me picking up £1000+. Damn that Solskjaer.

JippoKelly

That day was probably the worst day of my life. The Man Ure fans boasting the next day in school was awful. Fecking Solskjaer and Sheringham.

Although when Abel Xavier needlessly handled the ball in Euro 2000 in the last minute and cost me a potential 200 Euro I felt pretty ****. And then Liverpool had to go and sign him!!!
