Let me give my analysis on the remaining teams :
1) Barcelona :
Favourite among all teams. Their tiki taka can pass any team to the ground. The English teams have been hit by inconsistencies and injuries and Inter is not as strong as they were last year, so difficult to see who can beat them. Remember that they trashed Real this season as well.
2) Manchester United :
Second favourite. Never dismiss them from any competition. Defensive worries and don't see them being able to beat Barca
3) Inter :
Semi finals is best bet. Not as strong as last year but the team still have what it takes to mingle with the best. Defensive wise is a worry and flip-flop season under Benitez and then Leo not helping a lot of what Mourinho did.
4) Chelsea :
Semis is best bet. Inconsistent season. In their best seasons, they are not able to win it, so will be difficult to see how they can manage this one. However, still stronger than most teams in the draw.
5) Real Madrid :
Quarters or Semis. Very strong squad on paper but cannot hold a candle to Barca or MU even with Mou.
6) Tottenham :
Quarters or Semis. Great first season in CL but their inexperience will cause them to lose out in the final run. Don't see how they can manage against the better teams in Europe in the final run-in.
7) Shakthar :
Dark horses but thats it. Quarters is as far as they go. Don't see them progressing unless draw is favourable (vs Shalke)
7) Shalke04 :
Quarters is already a bonus for them. Don't see them progressing unless draw is favourable (vs Shakthar)

Agree most of it..but i wont write off Shakthar and Schalke ..
Shakthar tops the table in Arsenal group and kick Roma arse home and away.
Schalke have the likes of Raul who going hot guns currently..his class still there.
And there is Huntellaar etc
Could it be a Shaktar vs Schalke final ? juz like Monaco vs Porto not long ago ..
