Let's see how things have progressed.

In 2 weeks, we'll confirm how wrong Tha Captain was. Keep in mind at all times that these are two-legged aggregate score match-em-ups where number of goals scored in the away match act as a tiebreaker. Also, never, never forget that in soccer, the home team is listed first.

Atletico Madrid 2 - 2 Porto
Advantage: Porto. Two away goals and heading back to the Estadio de Dragao. (Dragons!)

Lyon 1 - 1 Barcelona
Advantage: Barca. Lyon's goal was fluky. Barcelona will dominate at home.

Arsenal 1 - 0 Roma
Advantage: Gunners. The one English team I wouldn't really mind getting booted.

Internazionale 0 - 0 Manchester United
Advantage: Inter. Manchester United does get the second leg in the friendly confines, but there's no margin for error after not taking advantage of their dominance for much of the game.

Chelsea 1 - 0 Juventus
Advantage: Chelsea. Although Juventus could easily Turin it around!

Villareal 1 - 1 Panathinaikos
Advantage: Panathinaikos, I guess. I'm not really drinking the tzatziki-aid yet, though.

Sporting 0 - 5 Bayern
Advantage: Sporting. Soccer is a very complicated sport. You couldn't possibly understand.

Real Madrid 0 - 1 Liverpool
Advantage: Liverpool. In the safest position of the four English clubs.
