Great match ups but a bit early. Man U vs AC Milan looks more like a semi-final or at least quarterfinals match up.
Man U vs AC and Chelsea vs Inter are the must watch I suppose. But Real vs Lyon could be interesting as well, depending on how well Lyon perform.
I would prefer the following q/finals:
Barcelona vs Internationale
Chelsea vs Bayern
Real vs Man U
AC Milan vs Arsenal
Those are good matchups. But Inter Milan is going up against Chelsea, aren't they? And Man U is up against Milan.
How about the smaller clubs? It would be interesting to see what Bordeaux could do, with Laurent Blanc at the helm. Milan should have held on to Gourcuff. And Florentina seems to be doing well too. Another case where an ex-Milan player has done well (Gilardino). Its tough being a Milan supporter sometimes.
Its tough to see any other club stopping Barcelona on their route to becoming champions though. Such a qualiity squad.
