Lippi: Arsenal, United and Chelsea will lose
-
Marcello Lippi has predicted that Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea will be dumped out of the Champions League by their Italians adversaries.
The Premier League trio secured positive results in the first leg, with Arsenal and Chelsea claiming 1-0 victories and United bagging a goalless draw.
But Italy head coach Lippi expects Roma, Juventus and Inter to win and go through to the next round next week.
“I’m convinced that it only depends on the Italian teams," he said.
“If they present themselves with 100 percent of their technical and physical potential, all three teams will go through.
“On the other hand, if they are weakened by the absence of five or six players, like Roma against Arsenal, it will be another story.
“There are still 90 minutes to play and we should not be over-confident. Nothing’s done yet and surprises can occur.”

He is the Italian national coach, so his intention is to inspire the Italian sides... Cos it would be quite a disgrace if all 3 Italian sides were to lose and there are no Italian team in the last 8... So you can see where he is coming from...
