i think AC Milan have a very god chance, I think the final will be between Real and AC, and this is what I am hoping it will be aswell. I think a final between two teams from the same league isnt as good as two different leagues.

I think Real Madrid will be very hard for AC to beat (if they both get in the final), and if AC were to win I think it would be on penalties.

I hope AC Milan, but I think Real Madrid

RM are beatable over 1 game (just like B. Leverkusen - an average team at most - nearly did last season) + this season in the league stages, RM lost and drew loads of games (and those are games that you take one at a time).

I would have preferred to meet RM in the final, as from the last 4 teams, RM and Juve are the better teams of the lot, so whatever the final will be, it won't be between the best 2 in my opinion. But again, if Roma can beat RM at the Bernabau, even Juve can

So I`m gonna go for my boys!

well the best two were Man Utd and Real so no the best two won't be in the final

Hope Juve win, think Real will

I also hope Juve wins, but I think real will lift the cup.

In the CL, it's not always the best team who wins. In the 95/96, the best team was Ajax by far, but Juve still won it. In 96/97 and 97/98 Juve were the better teams, bu Dortmund and Madrid squeezed a win.

Anyway from the games I saw Real Madrid play in, yeah htey're amazing going forward, but in defence they're poor. Even in attack, just cos they have those strikers, it doesn`t mean they`re gonna score like it happened against Roma and Milan.

I don't think I'm saying something out of this world when I say that Real Madrid's only extraordinary game of this CL season was against Man Utd at home. Apart from that game, they always failed to shine (check out all the results).

You're right. Juve can beat them, and i'd like to see Trezeguet back. I also hope they don't get any bad injuries. I'm really looking foward to this game. And Who knows, Ronaldo will maybe want to take a night off.

There are some factors going in favour and also against Juve.

In favour:

- Trezeguet is back (he's playing from the start tomorrow against Brescia - hopefully he'll be fully fit for the Real Madrid game
- No injuries (crossed fingers)
- Raul is out for sure of the first game, and probably also of the second game
- Ronaldo never scored against Juve, probably cos Lippi knows his style well and can stop him
- Zidane was always cancelled out when he played against Italian teams. Man marking anyone?

Against:

- 3 important players suspended in the first match (Davids, Tacchinardi and Montero)
- Real are better on 2 legs than in one leg

that's interesting. Well, they have one of the best if not the best striker in the world right now... so why not! But, i'll still go for juve. only because i respect them after they defeated the team I was cheering for, Barca.

soccerchic · Apr 27 2003, 08:18 AM

i want inter to win it, but i think the scum will just do it

Excelsior · Apr 27 2003, 10:36 AM

hope you're wrong mate, that'll be an awful final if Inter get there just sitting back in their own half and playing on the break, will be the worst final sicne Bayern played Valencia

**Zizou** · Apr 27 2003, 11:44 AM

Hey foley, what's to like in Inter? Seriously.

apart from some good individuals (Vieri, Crespo, J. Zanetti, etc) they have no team, they are very boring to watch and if they win, I'd be very ashamed for Italian football. A team that plays so badly should never even be in the CL, let alone win it.

i'll try and answer that

i really don't know why i like them, it's not because of their style of play, but because i respect some of their players. and inter are always doing things to help out other clubs, like the kosovo's and stuff. that's why i like em so much.

But all clubs help in one way or another. For example this year the juventus players made a cover version of a famous italian song that went first in the italian hit parades and stayed there for a month or more. All the money went in favour of some kids association. Anyway this is just one example, but all major clubs help (and even minor clubs) so you shouldn`t side with someone just for that

The only way I can see Inter helping others more that other clubs is that they just buy useless players and give them ridiculously high wages

Foley87 · Apr 27 2003, 04:12 PM

i have no idea why but i just like them

and i think theyll shock everyone and win it

**Zizou** · Apr 27 2003, 04:18 PM

It will definitely be a shock for football if a team like Inter wins

nicodemus · Apr 27 2003, 04:33 PM

I hope Ac milan wins it, as i think its going to be a real ac final, but, i think real madrid is... :crying

**Zizou** · Apr 27 2003, 04:54 PM

Personally, if Real defeat Juve then I hope they win it, as both Milan and Inter are not CL winners material. there are teams more worthier than them who have been eliminated before.

About Inter I certainly agree, but how can you say that AC Milan isn't CL winners material? They beat Real 1-0 before and it was a well deserved victory, they were class that night! If they reach that level, I consider them better than Real. They might not be in CL winning form at the moment, but they can certainly win it, they have a very strong team!
