If Pool win and top their group tonight and Arsenal end up second in their own group, Gunners face a chance of meeting Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan or Real Madrid since Pool, Man U & Chelsea top the other 3 groups... Of the 4 i think Barcelona and AC Milan would be easilier at the moment...

Nasri returns for key Reds clash
Samir Nasri missed Saturday's 2-0 victory over Monaco in Ligue 1 as he was recovering from an ankle injury suffered during his side's 2-1 defeat to Besiktas in matchday five.
Ronald Zubar is also back in the squad after recovering from injury and could start at right-back, but forward Salim Arrache is missing.
Striker Djibril Cisse and midfielder Boudewijn Zenden, who both left Anfield last summer to join Marseille, are named in coach Eric Gerets' 20-man party for the Stade Velodrome clash.
Marseille: Mandanda, Mate, Zubar, Givet, Rodriguez, Faty, Taiwo, Bonnart, M'Bami, Cheyrou, Cana, Nasri, Valbuena, Ziani, Zenden, Oruma, Gragnic, Cisse, Niang, Ayew. -
Milan is not easy to play in the champions league.Originally posted by zocoss:If Pool win and top their group tonight and Arsenal end up second in their own group, Gunners face a chance of meeting Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan or Real Madrid since Pool, Man U & Chelsea top the other 3 groups...

Inter is crap in Champions League so Barca and Inter would be easier to play. -
I don't think so... Milan is not in good form recently. There is also rumour that they will be replacing their manager very soon... The Milan of this season is not the same... and they don't look like they will challenge for the Serie A title as well with Inter 19 points ahead of them already... They also lost to Celtic 2 - 1 in the Uefa CL and only manage a 1 - 0 win against Celtic at home...Originally posted by Deunamist:Milan is not easy to play in the champions league.

Celtic isn't an easy team to play at their homeground man.

Hei, are we in champions league or serie A? Please take a look at Milan's form in champions league, one defeat nia, though not so convincing but they are the favourites not only to win their second round clash but to win the whole tournament, my friend! Three finals in the last five seasons, two victories, haha....is this not enough to prove their credentials in the champions league?Originally posted by zocoss:I don't think so...

With Kaka, Gattuso and Pirlo in the squad, i bet even Real Madrid and MU would have a tough time dealing with them, so i would say Inter is the easiest opponent of them all coz of their indifferent form in the champions league. In fact, for MU fans, i think you guys do remember how you were slaughtered before ya, so english teams beware....playing against Milan is never easy, be it on top form or bad form....cheers. -
Off course i know they are good but as i was saying, compare to Inter Milan, Barcelona or Real Madrid right now... They could be the weakest of the 4. I know they have a nice recent history in the UCL but things can happen during a match and you are only as good as your last match... Form is important, history is for the historians...Originally posted by robertobaggio:Hei, are we in champions league or serie A?

And if i am not wrong, they also has Kaka, Gattuso and whatever lah and were up 3 - 0 against Pool an english team in the first half on one of the finals you mentioned but ended up losing the match... talk about their credentials in the champions league... Who can forget... but I think that is still rated as one of the greatest comeback in football finals... I don't think any other team have lost after going 3-0 up... only AC Milan.
The thing about them i am saying is the team may not be as good as before, they are planning to change their manager... rumour to be Jose Mourinho... Kaka could leave at the end of this season to Real Madrid... All i am saying is the team is not as settle as before or the other 3 i mentioned. Thats all. -
Yeah, then Arsenal would be even more difficult...Originally posted by Deunamist:Celtic isn't an easy team to play at their homeground man.
