Nice. Should be a good game, Vieira and Henry facing their old teams. Juventus were lucky to get past Bremen, if the Bremen goalkeeper hadn't presented the Old Lady with a gift wrapped goal.
Can't wait now.

Quarter-final draw
ARSENAL v Juventus
Lyon v AC Milan
Inter Milan or Ajax v Villarreal
Benfica v Barcelona
Seeing as no one else posted anything other than the Arsenal draw...

Also:
So at least we've got the easier semi-final draw when we cruise past Juve.
*cough*
Can't wait, should be good. Will be a lot trickier facing a strong defensive side like Juve though, since RvP should be back by then I think a 4-4-2 will have more chance against them than packing the midfield.

We said we'd get Juve or Barca coming out of the ground, the return of Pat, should be easy enough.

Not a bad draw that, Juve only just sneaked past Bremen.
Also means we wouldn't have to play either Milan or Barca to reach the final ... not bad

hmm,time to get some money on Arsenal i think
**** in the league,prob won't qualify for next yrs comp from league position,draw Juve at home 1st quarter final ,bit of deja vu going on here
I predict an Arsenal Milan final.
Icing on the cake for you gooners is that its been anounced that if Arsenal win the CL and finish outside of top 4,they will get the place of the team who finishes 4th - quite possibly Spurs

Nor did he go missing against Milan a couple of years ago, i think he was be funny?
Absolute nightmare draw for me, Juve was the team I feared the most and I've also got £4 on Benfica to win the competition.
People like Fabulous are gonna get a rude awakening when they have to come up against the midfield master that is Patrick Vieira.
However if Arsenal were to sneak a win over Juve, I can see them making the final.

Great draws all round I think, The fact that the Italians are not playing each other is great. My loyalty to Arsenal stops here though 
I still think Juve are going to find it tough against Arsenal, Arsenal will find it very difficult to play against a team like Juve though. There is no team like that in the prem. You could argue with Madrid and them being so open they were at an advantage.
Milan-Lyon should be entertaining, Lyon just look like scoring every time, Milan will find it difficult with Lyon's attacking options. Since for Lyon they have gone past their highest expectations already, they have nothing to, so will not hold back as much as Milan will.
I think Barca will find Benifica easy opposition as they play teams like that day in day out in Spain. A Barca-Milan semi would be fantastic viewing.
Hopefully with Inter through next Tues there will be another Italian club in the Quarters. If Inter do get past Ajax, Villarreal look like a struggling side, only just got past Rangers so should be good news for Inter.
Could be an all Italian final again.
