    Man Utd have the edge on defense. I give them the node. Barca couldn't score against them in their 2 meetings last year. Barca may have improved overall this year but their defense isn't any better this year than it was last year.

    I like Man U and I made a future bet on them a little over a month ago.

    I played 2 units on

    Manchester United +650

    I just hope they keep up the forum they have going. If they do, they will be very tough to beat.

    With Rooney healthy again and Berbatov playing well I can't see how anyone can bet against the red devils!

    -Bet MAN U againt Inter straight up to win a tough road game, great odds!!!!!!!!!!

    nobody wins the cl two years in a row by the way, not since milan in 89,90. anyways it would be stupid to bet on the outright winner as the best teams dont necessarily meet in the final, so you could get manchester utd against barcelona in the quarters or semis. and league success does not translate into champions league success either

    Barza hands down... at this time it rlly sucks that Iniesta is down, but they ate all the "strong" teams in La Liga (Valencia, Madrid, Villareal and Atletico). They have the best overall scorer (Eto'o)
    I am still puzzled by Hleb's performance... is he going to be like Henry and mutate into what he is now? Or is he going to stay like this?

    Man utd, Amazing defensivly and very good attack, have the mix of expeince and youth, Barcelona amazing attack but defense is not great and without Puyol or if one of the 1st team defneders gets injured they let goals in as shown agast Betis last week.

    But you can never write a team off with the worlds best player (The battle ship according to Goal TV commentator) Messi!

    I think you could argue both teams can claim to have the worlds best player! :P

    I think Barca are right to be favs. at the mo, simply because United have to get through Inter first (who are 4th fav's themselves!) whereas they have a much easier draw in Lyon...

    Should they beat Inter though I would personally prefer to bet on them... Barca couldn't score past them last year and United could've won both legs had Ronaldo not shanked his peno at the Nou Camp.

    With United's defensive record as it is currently and VDS/Rio/Vidic on such good form I wouldn't wanna bet betting that many teams score many goals past them...

    True... we have been shaky @ the back... the kids just need to grow the pair a little faster... it is amazing how fast Busquets got into the game... and our right wing is just killing every one... Alves and Messi? Nuff said there
    Now... Man U's defensive WALL is a hard nut to crack... and I just remember the frustration after watching that goal (or work of art) that Scholes scored in the 2nd leg last year... Still Ronaldo... the only thing he did during the whole match was rattling the bar...
