As a die-hard Barcelona fan I have to root for them. But if I had to be a little realistic chances would be that some of the other teams have a strong chance to win this year, though Barcelona is favorites, right next to Real Madrid.
It is hard to say who are going to win, but easier to maybe tell who is going to get into the finals.
As for Real Madrid, they have a good chance to get to the next round, as they are meeting Apoel today. The champions from last year, Barcelona, have drawn a harder opponent as they are matched with Milan, which is going to be quite a contender for the cantalan team.
Bayern Munchen is matched up with the french team, Marseille. I think Bayern will overrule the french with their physical football and win that matchup.
And the last matchup which is with the only, amazingly enough, british team Chelsea and Benfica, who has been quite a surprise. This matchup is also one of the better ones, as physique and raw strength from Chelsea, is meeting elegance and passing skills from Benfica.
But if I had to guess the last two in this years Champions League, I would probably go with either Real Madrid vs Barcelona, the old clasico, or Real Madrid vs AC Milan, as Barcelona has struggled with the italian champions before.
