Who do you think is going to come in at second (as we all know that Barcelona will be number 1)?

Are you talking about the Champions League? Because if so there's only Barcelona, Chelsea, Man United and Arsenal still in it. I fancy a rematch of Arsenal vs Barcelona in the final, but if I'm honest, any one of the four could win it. Arsenal have already beaten Man U and Chelsea this season, unexpectedly, and they're in great form at the moment, whereas Man U are in their worst patch of the season so far. Chelsea are very strong at the moment, but at the same time Barcelona haven't looked this good, in my opinion, since they won their treble in 2006.

If you're talking about the UEFA cup, then I reckon Jol's Hamburg should do it, but Bremen have a good shout to win it too. I think whoever wins out of their Semi will go on to win it.

I was originally refering to the champions league, should have clarified. But if you want to bring the cup into it, Barca will still win.;)

Barca won't win.

And UEFA cup =/= Champions League.

Barca are the best team in Europe at the moment, whether they are good enough to beat United or Chelsea remains to be seen.

United always peak late and Chelsea beat Liverpool who in turn made Real Madrid look silly, Real are only 6 points behind Barca in La'Liga

Personally, I don't think Barca will even make it to the final. They could, yes, but I don't think they will.

As long as a British team wins it, I'm good; I don't support any of them, but I suppose I'd prefer Arsenal of all of them to win.

Arsenal are the least likely to win it.

Barca are the dogs bollocks atm, what will show if they are up to it is whether they can stop a English team.

Honestly, Barca looks like they could pummel through any team right now. Everyone is playing top form...

Yes they do, Messi, Eto'o and Henry look like they can demolish any defence, however English teams have proven the premier league is a mile ahead of Serie A and La Liga.

It will depend entirely on Barca's ability to deal with Chelsea, plus United are getting everyone back to full fitness, there centre back pairing of Vidic and Rio is the best in the world by far.

In La Liga, yes they look class. Up against other European teams they look class. They have yet to meet an English team this competition, however. The Premier League is the best example of domestic club football in the world. Last year, as with this year, 3 of the 4 teams in the semi finals have been English. Last year there was an all English final. Yes, Barcelona look shit hot at the minute, but up against the pace and physicality of the Premiership? How they'll do remains to be seen, but I think an English winner is most likely.

I still am not really convinced. I watch Barca playing in general this champion's league, and english teams playing in general, and Barca just looks better. I think their first match against an english team will be quiteeeeeeee exciting.
