Benfica not the best but not the worst . Aimar , cardoza , di maria m saviola will be huge threats

to me the final looks a comparitively easier prospect than the quarters or semis.

by **Toffeehater** » Fri Mar 19, 2010 1:21 pm

if we progress we might get athletico or valencia.

Lost to them home and away in CL L16 in 05/06................................

Mickey mouse cup, mickey mouse draw(s) Mancs get an easy ride to the final, we get as tough a draw as you could expect - but at least we might well not prolong the agony

yep. agree there.

the 4 weakest sides (imo) are all togther in the other half of the draw.

We can see this as a little compensation for dropping out from the CL, the games left are not lesser than than some of the Cl quarter finals, some of them are more sexy than the CL ones, to be honest. We somehow always lift our game against tough opponents. So let's win this and it will lift the spirit of the club a little. Bring on Benfica! Revenge! :buttrock

Just saw the draw! im amazed that we have tougher opponents then the Mancs have in the Champions league! Benfica are not much worse than Munich, if at all. And Valencia/Athletico are much better than those 2 French sides. We shouldve hammered Lyon if we weren't playing so bad at the time, and the last minute goals didnt help at all.

Is anyone else amazed that the Manc's always seem to avoid the all English ties? Compared to us, Arsenal and Chelsea. We have played Chelsea 10 times in Europe since Rafa took over, and Arsenal twice. united have played Arsenal twice and Chelsea once.

hmmm.... that should be investigated my friends.

I'd rather get the toughest draw possible to be honest. The more glamourous the tie the better I reckon, have thought that ever since we dropped down.
