Arsenal VS Villareall: I think Villareall's amazing performance will end here. Arsenal needs to win the cup, to win participation to the next CL (like liverpool did last year), and to keep Henry in the team who'll maybe then reconsider his will to go to Barca.
AC Milan VS FC Barcelona: Milan has the experience but a very "slow" defence, Barca has the talent but they're probably not ready yet. But they'll win the CL in 1 or 2 years thats for sure.
So the final will be Arsenal-Milan, with Arsenal winning...cause they are outsiders.. Milan like Valencia, will loose 2 times in a row in the final...

Milan wont be able to keep barca quiet for 180 mins. Though barcas def isnt gr8 either, but they are surely younger & energetic. Also etoo, ronaldinho, deco will be too much for mid field of seedorf, pirlo, guttuso. If sheva & kaka have fantastic pperformance over two legs, then Milan could get through. But their performance against lyon just doesnt exicte enough. My bet is surely Barca.
While Arsenal & Villareal look close, but i think riquelme will carry them to finals.

Milan-Barca: Both teams have incredible players, truth is that milan wasn't good at all vs Lyon, but Inzaghi did the job ... that's typical Milan, even when they're not good they win ...
Barca Milan is too close to call, but Arsenal will go thru, they are too hot right now, they have skill, pace and energy, they have people who can run faster in the 90th minute of a game than most people can in the first 5 minutes, they're oozing class right now, this from a united supporter.
The final, it'll be tight, If arsenal can get Big Sol and Ashley Cole back for it, they are in witha chance, but with the current defence, Barca would run riot and Milan would be hard to control too, however Arsenal when going forward can give the best defences a massive cahllenge and Milan and Barca, defensively though better than most temas in thew orld, at this tage, would struggle against a full flow arsenal counter attack.
Btw Ellopian, playing rubbish and still winning, pure class....

They are going to run out of the luck. Surely, barca isnt lyon or even PSV (last season). Milan just got lucky. The second goal was purely fluke. The deflected ball could have gone anywhere, but lady luck wasnt on lyon's side.
Arsenal will choke in semis. Their inexperience players wont be able to handle the pressure of playing big game. If today Man Utd win vs Arsenal, it will be 99% vilareal in the semis.
Villareal aren't all that either. Thier top striker is Diego Forlan, he's no Ronaldinhio is he. This is thier first time out in the champions league. I'm not saying it's going to be a walk in the park for Arsenal but with players like Lehman, Cole, Cambell, Toure, Ljundberg, Gilberto, Pires, Henry, Reyes....they have experienced internationals who have done it at the top level and shined. They've got 4 world cup winners, the stage doesn't get any bigger than that.
