Arsenal beating AC Milan looks and sounds more realistic though than Celtic beating Barca.

In the build-up to the last European Championship you had an oddball semi-final line-up of Porto, Depor, Monaco and Chelsea. This time, how about Sevilla, Porto, Chelsea and Inter?

To me, that's the only match that offers much in the way of an underdog chance - the others are fairly well matched.

But i think Arsenal will beat them in the two matches and could make the final. No one would say that when Henry went away, thats the surprise, as wel as them at the top in England Italians think Milan will win in Europe as they are not doing so well in serie A, like last year.

How about Lyon? If they manage win at home and then park a bus at Old Trafford then they can fancy chances. It will be in France or Rome. How about Lyon?
