Hmm. Well, it's quite difficult for me to project this, but I do think that... ok. I can't even say it the right way. I think Chelsea doesn't win this.

I think they've got a little bit of chemistry to figure out (not emotional, but more functional). They need to uncork whatever obstruction seems to be obstructing their scoring. Once they get that ironed out, they're quite challenging indeed. I don't think they figure that out vs. their opponents in red.

Real is absolutely on fire, but Tottenham has been unbelievably strong in champions league play. I really can see this going either way.
I agree absolutely about Barcelona. Shaktar has gone about as far as they can in this tournament.
Inter has been playing well under Leonardo, but Schalke's been a nice surprise for me. If I have to pick any upset match out of this, it will be Schalke taking this.

Plus I think Schalke has been playing much better than they were at the beginning of the year. Having Raul with his experience also helps a ton in this match. I also don't know if I can trust Inter. Seeing Julio Cesar make 2 huge lapses at goal is very worrisome for a keeper who is often listed at the top.

I think Real and Tott will be fast and the most exciting of the match ups. Even Though Man U and Chelsea is always interesting.
